BITING THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU.....

The days when Labour courted the business community and attracted millions in individual donors are over. Without funding from the big unions like UNITE, UNISON and the GMB, Labour would not now be in any position to fund candidates or a General Election campaign. So it is deeply unfortunate that Gordon Brown, six weeks before an expected General Election, has chosen to side with management in the ongoing dispute with BA. More so because its Chief Executive last week in an astonishing attack made it plain that his aim was to smash the union - whatever the cost. In the forthcoming weeks, Labour is going to need all the help it can possibly muster . This won't be helpful, to say the least.
