DE ROSSA CONDEMNS GOVT'S BLOCKING OF EU 'TEMPS' DIRECTIVE

by De Rossa exposer Wed Jun 04, 2003 15:28

How dare the LAbour Party and DeRossa preach about defending rights of immigrant workers. The Labour Party who control much of the Union bureacracies have done absolutly nothing in combatting racism in the workplace or the scapegoating of immigrants. If the Labour Party were serious they would have the unions lead an anti racist campaign in the workplaces calling for increased services for all and link it to a wider struggle against this governemnt.

But of course they will not do this, the Labour Party are a capitalist party. To mobilise workers in any way will threaten the positions and privilages of the union bureacrats as well as pose the question in the minds of workers of building serious opposition to the right wing dail parties outside of the Labour Party

I have been in Donegal from 1992 to 95 and had a house there. Last year I have been back with my two kids and registered them in the school in Donegal, then I want on and got back to pick up their mother in Thailand. We applied for a visa to stay in Ireland. We waited 6 months in the 'European Union', Spain, France, Germany to going 'home' to Ireland. My kids has not been in the school during this time and after 6 months we received a letter from the Irish Foreign Ministry that the visa has been denied without any reason, no details, all we could do is to write again to Ireland and ask for details.....
This is Ireland 2003! This are the Irish Government 2003. They don't care a shit unless you are big Bank Director from a Offshore Bank who want to settle down. Let me tell you one thing there in Ireland, the Irish today this 'new rich bourgoisie class' are much more British then the British in Windsor. The Irish and Irland has forgotten their past and has become a horse riding polo playing nation with the EU flag on their head, and a Windsor flag in the hearth. This is Ireland today. I don't care a shit because now we have a home in France, but for my kids it has been a chock, loving and enjoying Donegal for weeks , then awaiting the visa to go back and see their school friend, and then the visa refusal for a woman married with children from the EU. Irland has agreed on the Euro, and they did well if you look at the constructions build with the help of the EU, but the rest is in in Windsor. Being a better British then the 'Brits' that what all really think.

Why will the Labour Party not call for and build mass non payment of the bin tax? You are always saying that you oppose the bin tax so why don't you?

IM afraid you have it worng comrade.

Labour have no beurocratic power in the Unions. Labour is affiliated to some unions, and to ICTU. LAbour cannot make their campaigns for them, and Labour do not control the unions. Besides, SIPTU and ICTU have run campaigns against racism in the workplace. As have Labour.

Why not complain to the Union officials that are members of SF, SP, SWP, and those independant of any party, instead of bitching about Labour, just because they are not Trotskyist. I have news for you "DeRossa exposer".

The Unions are not Trotskyist, and the working class vote Fianna Fail.

How will real change ever happen when the so called activists in this country spend all their time bitching about each other, when they should be working together, to end this government and bring real social justice for working people.

Now let me see, what parties are in power in Britain and Germany, those other reactionaries who blocked these workers rights? Oh now I remember, Labour and the Social Democrats!

Are'nt these two parties members of the Socialist International along with the Irish Labour Party? Are'nt they also all members of the Party of European Socialists group in the European Parliament?

Perhaps Proinsias could lean over and have a word in the ear of his fellow PES MEPs from Britain and Germany about this issue.

But wait a minute, did the Irish Labour Party use its position in these forums to challenge Blairs involvement in the war on Iraq? Not a chance.

So Cathy, before you send out another Press Release from the ex-Dear Leader check to for the inconsistency factor. And remember Paddy knows all his old comrades tricks from their Pyongyang days.
