Defend The Four Campaign

Posted on August 27, 2009

Four members of Unison who distributed a leaflet critical of union leadership and what they allege is a lack of internal democracy, have been banned by a Unison disciplinary committee from holding office in the union for 3-5 years. All four are members of the Socialist Party. The witch-hunt is reminiscent of the ‘Loony Left’ expulsions of the Kinnock era. The four were counter-accused of distributing ‘racist’ material, namely a cartoon of the fabled ‘three wise monkeys’ on their leaflet¹. The message to members is clear: do not go against the neo-liberal New Labour consensus.

¹ If the monkeys look like anyone, they are quite ‘Blairite’ in appearance.
