Smug Lefties Most Likely To Think They?re Right And Everyone Else Is Wrong Sun Feb 23, 2025 09:00 | Sallust
Left-wing activists in Britain are less likely to work with their political opponents and more likely to think that those who think differently have been misled, a study has found. Leftists are intolerant? Who knew.

Toby Blair's Institute for Global Change has published a report that apparently tells Ed Miliband his Net Zero plans are unrealistic. But look closer and you find the same Green Blob pushing the same agenda, says Ben Pile.

That's a disgrace. This is certainly not reflective of the mood among NBRU members. NBRU members should show solidarity with their comrades in SIPTU and refuse to pass the pickets, that will send a clear message to the NBRU bureacracy that they are not prepared to scab on their fellow trade unionists.
It is time that the leaderships in both SIPTU and NBRU were thrown out and genuine people put in their place. For too long they have been mismanaging this struggle and for too long they have been trying to do a cozy deal with managment and sell out bus drivers. For god's sake they are only negociating how privitisation will happen, well I would say the unions should take the position of NO PRIVITISATIONS AT ALL - DEFEND PUBLIC SERVICES AND WORKING CONDITIONS!
what a typical kneejerk reaction. just because a union are in negotiations, god for bid, they are not calling for strike action just yet. it's rare i find myself defending the NBRU, but in this case SIPTU are clearly trying to upstage them and need to get over their own issues. SIPTU don't represent transport issues at the end of the day, and in this case, the NBRU do.
Lets get this clear the NBRU are NOT in meaningful negociations. What they are negociating is exactly how privitisation will be organised, they should be negociating NOT TO HAVE PRIVITISATION.
The Unions shoudl pull out of these bogus talks and organise a programme of industrial action until the government is will to back down on privitisation plans.
