From The Liberty Wall – National Liberal Trade Unionists – Words Of Wisdom – Bob Crow (1961 – 2014)
.
.“The Social Europe agenda was always a smoke screen to fool the organised working class that we had something in common with big business. We didn’t then and we don’t today when unelected EU institutions, directly representing Europe’s biggest banks, are removing elected governments and imposing mass unemployment, social dumping and unending austerity everywhere”.
.
• PLEASE NOTE that National Liberal Trade Unionists – NLTU – are not interested in class warfare. Indeed, we are non-socialist Trade Unionists. As we have noted elsewhere – http://nationalliberal.org/liberty-wall-3/national-liberal-trade-unionist – the NLTU believes that the function of a trade union is to ‘protect the interests of its’ members at work rather than as an arm of political or class revolution’.
.
With this in mind, however, we feel that the late Bob Crow’s analysis of the anti-democratic nature of the EU is spot on. Furthermore, we feel that the EU is merely the plaything of big business and has nothing to offer ordinary working families.
