The Last Ditch by Tom Paine

Link: Labour Party could be bankrupt in three weeks – Telegraph.

As anyone could have predicted, the unions are demanding obedience in return for bailing Labour out. Much as the pleasing symmetry of the party being financially as well as ideologically bankrupt might appeal to many of its victims, it is not going to happen. Labour will prostitute itself to the brothers as it always has. I had to smile at this quote from an unnamed "union official" though;

"The leaders of the big unions do not want to cut themselves off and cast themselves into the wilderness. But they are struggling to contain revolts among their members who ask: what is this government doing in return for the money we give?"

That, brother, is a question all taxpayers could ask. Not least about
money corruptly kicked back to the unions.
