Here’s Unite joint general secretary Derek Simpson a few moments ago:
“The measures announced today must be bound to undertakings by the banks of no job losses, no repossessions and an end to the bonus culture.”
Yes that’s right, no repossessions. You can see Simpson’s logic here. After all if a Labour Government now owns or controls four High Street banks (RBS, HBOS, Bradford & Bingley and Northern Rock), then the banks’ policies should take on a socialist hue.
Yet how would this work in practice? It is almost an invitation to anyone with a mortgage with any of these banks to default – and let the taxpayer pick up the tab.
Simpson’s comments might be easy to dismiss in a crisis, but for Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling, they will become increasingly politically difficult to ignore.
Important note: Unite contributed £1.5million to Labour in the three months to June. That’s £4 out of every £10 which the party raised in the second quarter.

Oh FFS. Until the feckless 42″ Plasma-ed, 4×4 driving, PS3 gaming, big bore exhausted, Disneyland wiv Nannah this year FUCKTARDS feel any pain for bingeing on unearned money, they are doomed to repeat it.
I give up. Every fucking penny I earn will now be taken by the Politburo to keep the tattooed stella belching underclasses in the style to which Labour has encouraged them to become accustomed. Just in time for fucking Christmas.
Bastards.
