Welcome to a new blog from John, Trade Unionist, Socialist (shhhh!) and ageing punk. Whats the aim of joining the growing army of bloggers in the bloggesphere?
I guess I want to use this as a way to get my views across, sometimes just towing the party line isnt strong enough. The views on here are my own and whilst always being open to criticism I will always stand by my views, unless counter arguments are put forward that alter the way I think.
I aim to give a concise view on whats going on in the world of the SW FBU, the fights against the cuts and how completely I despise the Coalition. On that I had a "disagreement" with my 16 year old daughter, currently studying A level politics (Well done Elz) who said I should give the ConDems a chance and not think that its like the 80s. I dont think its like the 80s, it a sight fucking worse. Fair play for her for having a point of view as wrong as I think it is but I am sure she will change her mind once the cuits start hitting home. After all, she is like the majority of people who have been told and re told that there is no other way to reduce the big bad deficit other than to cut public sector spending. More on that later!
