Labour no different

Don't think Labour are any different- they also are PFI / PPP champions ( ConDem Lab) - have a look where there ex-ministers are now working). When they talk of growth they really talk of corporate growth. When the talk of multicultralism they mean cheap labour and deals to help rob other countries and keep the money laundering in London et al.flowing. What lunatics think this is even a democracy?
The power is in the hands of the corporations (banks,agro, pharma,military,media,construction etc.) - this is the coporate fascism of Mussloini ( cf. Charter of Carnaro )

“Barclays Gross Balance Sheet is 100 per cent of UK Gross Domestic Product”….
the gross capitalisation of the US bank, JP Morgan,equals 24 per cent of the GDP of USA.

Labour pretended to be an opposition in the 1980's, and as for those risible union leaders...they don't speak for us.
