Ken Livingstone has just said "if I was a member of the RMT I would cross the picket line next Tuesday."
Should we still tolerate this scab as part of the ESF?
Should we still tolerate this scab as part of the ESF?
Blue Ken Livingstone has just crossed a historic line. This dwarfs all his past sell outs. He said this morning that "if I was a member of the RMT I would cross the picket line next Tuesday."
SCAB!
This is going one step too far.
Livingstone came out with this ultimate betrayal of organised Labour despite the fact that he used the RMT's money and support to win his first round as Mayor, when he was a breakaway candidate.
Livingstone's basic salary is now £108,000 per year. Yet he is prepared to scab on Tube workers who earn a tiny fraction of this.
This is also despite the case that the RMT have also just won another historic victory over pensions. Their threatened strike action on the national rail network has made the bosses cave in, and re-open the final salary pension scheme to new employees upon completion of five years’ service. This is absolute evidence that strike action can win real gains for working people today - over the key issue of pensions.
But tube Workers are still having to go ahead with their strike over pay and conditions. They want the management to shift its position, and improve pay and condistions for the workforce.
Livingstone can have no pretence that he is a 'socialist' now.
His so called "Socialist Action" minions in the GLA are involved in the ESF planning. These are the people who have forced out all the energy and creativity of green gathering organisers, young people, anti-capitalists from the ESF process. All these people are being excluded.
Socialist Action is a fragment of the old International Marxist Group. Livingstone employs them as advisers. They have taken over the ESF, allowing no democracy.
John Ross gets £111,000 per year.
Redmond O'Neill. £111,000 per year.
Neale Coleman. £111,000 per year.
Lee Jasper. £111,000 per year.
How dare these people call themselves socialists?
How can we work towards a more equal society, when these so called leaders benefit from such inequality?
They represent a total corruption, a total abandonment of any kind of socialism. And they are killing the ESF. Another World Is Possible? No, not like this, not with these forces.
Don't be surprised if the ESF fucks up. This is because it has been hijacked by ruling class scabs.
And the SWP is still sucking up to them. Of course.
SCAB!
