The journal of (un)Democratic Centralism (my latest Wrecker of the Week) has been forced to publish the following attacks by a very angry FBU rep over their coverage of the recent strikes.
The Socialist (minitrue) Worker is accused by this rep as follows "your coverage of the London firefighters’ dispute has angered FBU activists".... "Your reports of the first strike on 23 October were outlandish"...attacking the FBU General Secretary; "fantasising that you were witnessing the French revolution" ...publishing a video that was "used to discredit the union"...wanting to "Have some people die on bonfire night to ‘prove’ the scabs are rubbish?"..using the media to attack the union and not bothering to contact the union beforehand...and "disparage the democratic structures of the FBU".
Well, this is no great surprise to me. Check out report in Solidarity magazine and even the modern day Socialist Minitrue itself. Hat-tip Col. Roi.
Something very odd is happening with Socialist Minitrue and their contributors. Is their parallel universe crashing down upon them under the weight of truth?
Check out this bizarre story here in the West Yorkshire News where the SWP Chair of a Unison branch wrote a "misleading, inaccurate and unhelpful” on Minitrue of a "successful" outcome of a meeting before the branch and the employer had finalised negotiations. What is going on? Hmmm.

Public Sector Pensions Commission Minitrue
More choking on my branflakes this morning listening to the latest rubbish on "Today" from the so-called "Public Sector Pensions Commission" - and it being called an "independent report"!
Checkout out the TUC blog Touchstone for the truth of the matter. The Institute of Directors are hardly impartial on this issue.
As pointed out elsewhere would the BBC refer to a report by TUC on bankers' pay as being "independent"?
