IN one of his columns, Andrew Murray said we should ask elected representatives what they are doing to prevent WW3. Clydebank TUC took him up on that challenge, and the local paper, the Clydebank Post, published the following in our monthly column:
“In our last column in the Post, we shared our open letter from Clydebank TUC to local MP Labour’s Douglas McAllister. This was sent to him on January 24, and he replied three days later saying he would provide us with a further response in due course. Given the time that has elapsed, I think we can deduce we ain’t going to get a further response from Douglas! Maybe he genuinely was intending to get back to us but was told by his masters not to bother. Who knows.
“However, it is of concern that the party that was created by the trade unions to be the political arm of the trade union movement treats its members with such contempt. We are aware, of course, that these days the Labour Party is chasing funding from rich individuals and the big corporations rather than the smaller contributions from affiliated unions. A throwback to the days of Tony Blair.
