As I mentioned yesterday the Tories must be secretly praying that there will be some high profile strikes which inconvenience the public, as most people associate the unions with the Labour Party.
The fact that UNITE has donated £11 million to Labour funds, has sponsored numerous Labour candidates (around 100 I believe) and one of their own (Charlie Whelan) is a close adviser to Gordon Brown will lead many to think that should Labour win the election it will be back to the pre-Thatcher days of unions dictating policy to the government.
It was inevitable that Gordon would raise his head above the Downing Street bunker to denounce the proposed BA strike by UNITE members. The UNITE leader, Tony Woodley, clearly outraged at this brotherly stab-in-the-back, sounded off and brought memories flooding back of Arthur Scargill. What a gift for the Tories.
The Tories though have not handled the Lord Moneybags Ashcroft business well.
The Dozycrats have their own skeleton in the cupboard. Not long ago one of their major donors, Michael Brown, was convicted of fraud. The Dozycrats refused to hand the money back so that the defrauded might get their hands on some of their cash.
None of the parties has acted illegally, but the stench of hypocrisy hangs in the air. Why is that where party funding is concerned it is all so grubby?
