Epidemic of AcademicsSupposing that were true (and it is not; the work force is still overwhelmingly Anglo-Saxon), it's not that immigrants don't want unions. Often, in fact, they come from places with strong union traditions and can introduce new methods of struggle. It's that systemic discrimination against migrants makes it harder to establish unions.

Those crazy socialists and their police states. ;0)Which means that for 2 1/2 months the government has been able to search homes without warrants, order house arrests without charges, ban public demonstrations, disband dissident groups, and block websites without judicial approval. The state of emergency was put into place by President Francois Hollande, of the Socialist Party, following the November 13 Daesh-affiliated attacks for 12 days, the maximum without parliamentary approval. Parliament then voted to extend them an additional 90 days ... that is, through Feb. 26. Now he is seeking to extend it again. Prime Minister Manuel Valls, also of the Socialist Party, says the state of emergency should remain in effect "as long as Daesh is a threat." Meanwhile the government is seeking statutory expansion of its powers to monitor communications. French liberty looks very, very ill.
Meanwhile Obama is more interested in maintaining the NATO alliance and securing cooperation against Daesh than in keeping France from turning into a police state.
Utopians are so gullible about anyone pretending to agree with them that they leave themselves wide open to power-obsessed opportunists.Those crazy socialists and their police states. ;0)
"Us"?The EU wanted us to give it up and hand it over to the EU recently ---- I wonder why?
You know perfectly well what I think of Bankers but the Bank of England does give us a strength many other EU member s do not have.
Absolutely agreed.Don't think leaving the EU will give some kind of freedom. You haven't looked at the people carrying those "taking back control" banners; Gove, Farage, Johnson. For some reason you think those guys have your best interests at heart? That they like alternative ideas? Or will allow you access to the truth? A free press? the UK is ranked 38th in the 2016 World Press Freedom Index? (Costa Rica, Ghana, Tonga and Uruguay all have a more independent media than the UK). That's how much our governing classes love freedom. They love their freedom (regulation-free) but not ours.
When they say "take back control", they mean; take control from Europe and give it all to them. The likes of Gove and Johnson and Rupert Murdoch. Journalist Anthony Hilton once asked Rupert Murdoch why he was so opposed to the European Union. 'That’s easy,' he replied. 'When I go into Downing Street they do what I say; when I go to Brussels they take no notice."
Presumably the labor laws are a few among many regulations that they see as interfering with their profits.Maybe the likes of Murdoch and Gove and Johnson and Farage want out of the EU because the EU has been the institution that has done most to give workers rights of employment.
True only in a very narrow sense. These protections reflect the strength of the labor movement and its parties; the EU is only the form via which this strength is legally registered. As QT points out, below, the UK enjoyed a high degree of labor protection and other democratic rights before joining the EU.Many of the benefits and protections British people have at work are thanks to EU regulations
The sort of class-collaborationist policy that would look either to Brussels or to Westminster to maintain labor's rights is bound in the long run to meet with betrayal and disappointment. The only way labor can secure its rights is to build up its own strength, independent of the capitalists, and meet the power of money with power of their own, including by taking advantage of divisions in the capitalist ranks.and there's zero chance the Tories would make maintaining those rights a priority in the event of #Brexit (see http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/feb/25/workers-rights-are-on-the-line-in-eu-referendum-warns-tuc).
I support the OUT campaign too.They want OUT btw
1. What groups exactly are "naturally incompatible"?Epidemic of Academics
More proof of what a fraud the Limousine Liberals are, as their name implies. Forced integration of naturally incompatible groups was designed to break up union solidarity. That broke the back of the American blue-collar class. Starting in the 1960s Snob Mob took over the Democratic Party and betrayed its previous base.
Lenin called this model "social chauvinism." Any "socialist" who puts the nation first, and the working class second, is de facto capitulating to the ruling class, and will end up aiding that ruling class in its struggle against the workers. Other than imperialist war, police-state repression is the most typical expression of this alliance. Bureuacratic nanny-statism takes a close third.Those crazy socialists and their police states. ;0)
Lol tell that to our Union members ----"Us"?
"The working man has no country."-Karl Marx
Our Junior Doctors are on strike today ( covered by Senior Doctors so no patients are at risk) for the 1st time since the NHS was formed, that is how bad it is getting here.I support the OUT campaign too.
everyone i have spoken to agrees with the Junior Doctors ( its a rank by the way some are quite mature )Our Junior Doctors are on strike today ( covered by Senior Doctors so no patients are at risk) for the 1st time since the NHS was formed, that is how bad it is getting here.
As a Union Member and an Englishman .....but then Karl Marx was an immigrant so wouldnt understand.Lol tell that to our Union members ----

As a Jew in 19th-century Europe, nationalism was already alien to him. One of the strengths he brought to the table.As a Union Member and an Englishman .....but then Karl Marx was an immigrant so wouldnt understand.

He was just making a statement, no different than Dickens, of Victorian England.As a Jew in 19th-century Europe, nationalism was already alien to him. One of the strengths he brought to the table.
I was talking to a lady who was after my continued support opposing TTIP yesterday , I said that if we vote leave then we can avoid TTIP. She said that that was a common misconception, the Gov. has been one of the main driving forces for TTIP within the EU , even if we leave the EU we will still be bound by the terms and conditions of that Partnership.Gov gave them an ultimatum - sign the new contract or fu'ck off ( we don't have enough Drs as it is now because Gov has fu'ck up the NHS so badly) the contract is about hours, it will mean Junior Drs work the hours they used too but without any overtime pay. As I understand it, I have lost the thread since it has been head down in revision for me lately ---- They are going to strike again, the Sernior Drs are behind them and have said they will cover for them when ever they are asked too --- The public are behind them too.
This Gov is getting the country ready for TTIP ( what Obama came here to threaten us over) so that the Corporate privitization of health care, education and all else will be able to be done in 5 mins flat --- It is already like a different country ! terrifying
And people still don't know which way to vote
We will not be bound by the agreement if we are OUT ---I was talking to a lady who was after my continued support opposing TTIP yesterday , I said that if we vote leave then we can avoid TTIP.
