Exodus from Labour

Image result for exodus + images

 The news media reports today that the Labour Party spent £12 million on the 2015 general election campaign in which it lost all but one parliamentary seat in Scotland - Labour's worst showing in the party's history.

A big slice of that £12 million will have come from the trade unions (in particular the GMB, Unison and Unite) despite the fact that fewer than 1 in 4 union members actually support the Labour Party north of the border.

 No surprise then that a big majority of union members in Scotland (62% according to a recent ComRes survey) back the Government's plans to tighten the present rules for trade unions making donations to the Labour Party.

 The terrible track record of the Labour-supporting unions during the long fight for equal pay in Scotland has helped bring about this situation and their failure to stand up to the big Labour-run councils has not been forgotten by the lowest paid union members, the majority of whom are women.

 I am certain that there will be an 'exodus' of union members agreeing to donate money to the Labour Party when the new regulations come into force next year.

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
