Union Funded Turkeys Vote Against Christmas
As predicted, union backed Labour MPs mobilised to defeat Jesse Norman’s 10 Minute Rule Bill against Pilgrims. The usual nonsense was spouted in defence of taxpayer-funded trade union officials. John Healey surfaced after his Shadow Cabinet sacking to claim that Pilgrims were merely volunteering to help their unions. If they are volunteers, how come they are paid John?
The Ayes 132 /Noes 211 result is a clear message to the government to get a move on with the promised consultation on the issue. Given Cameron has backed the ban, you can add the payroll vote to that number next time. Guido will be having a look at the union donations of those who mobilised against, including those convention-busting Labour frontbenchers.
Any betting on a correlation?
it was nice to see Labour party being nasty again in the commons, No respect for taxpayers.
How the hell is D.U.E.M.A going to spin this?
Labour are the new Nasty Party
They’ve always been the Nasty Party.
No they’re not. Labour are the ‘wicked and malicious’ party.
I hope that clears things up once and for all.
Is there an available list of MP’s who voted against this 10mrb?
You forgot ‘totally incompetent’.
Please try posting on-topic once in a while, Billy. Thanks.
Actually Billy is spot on, Labour are a nasty bunch of parasitic skanks on the make. Always have been, always will be.
+1
Dry your eyes pet.
343 in total voting out of 640 MPs?
The HoC canteen with it’s associated wine and spirit list has a lot to answer for.
The aroma of pigs liver washed down with a nice bottle of chianti got the better of them.
Only one bottle? In the days of Willie Whitelaw that would have been a light breakfast.
Silence of the Lambs (and smell a C*nt), perhaps I’m being too obtuse.
No, I got it. Just thought I would make a serious point for once! I still remember Willie coming to a university dinner and being so drunk he couldn’t walk without help.
Them’s my boys!!!
I would do something about it but don’t want to upset the left wing LibDems in the coalition like Russell and Handycock. so things will just have to remain as they are.
What happened to the rest of the Tories? Stuffing their gobs thats wot. The To$$ers could have fixed this easily enough.
There are a lot of crypto-socialists in the coalition. The current Parliament has loads of humbugs in it
Starting right at the top of the coalition with Dave Cameron.
I blame all those socialist teachers at Eton and that dreadful skiing commune at St Moritz..
More fools the pro-bill proponents for not mobilising. It can’t have come as a surprise to them that Labour would pull the stops out to block this…
Excellent headline! Paddy Powder offering 2-9 on a correlation so I wouldn’t bother.
Quell Surprise!
Del boy lives!
Is there a list available yetof the MPs who voted and the unions they have received money from?
It would make interesting reading.
I didn’t vote as I was uploading a picture of my soiled Yfronts to a childrens website
If they are for sale Liam Fox is in the market.
Happy birthday
Up the unions, we stand together in solidarity, the working poor are treated as slaves of this coalition……. “ey up love, fetch another bottle of Chablis for this Pork belly ta!”
And what did the pork belly have to eat?
If I remember rightly a ‘ten-minute bill’ means precisely that. If it doesn’t get passed within ten minutes then that’s the end of it. And the easiest way to make sure it doesn’t get passed is to filibuster it. So the bedwetters were always going to babble on for 10+ minutes and make sure it went nowhere. Which is why the T*ries all went and enjoyed a subsidised lunch.
Has a ten minute bill ever been passed? You only need one bedblocker to start reading a list of affected constituents from the phone directory and that’s it finished.
10 minute bills do get passed. Last May the Demented Dorries got a sex education bill advocating abstinence passed. Back to Basics anyone? Of course, once the 10 minute bill is passed it only makes further progress if allocated government time.
Thank you.
I’m wondering whether the Government could draft an equivalent Bill as official legislation. That would stand a far greater chance of making to the statute book.
Better there must surely be a loose Statutory Instrument floating around among the many thousands looking for a good use.
Can’t we talk about something else?
SOAPY TITTY WANK!!
FUCK OFF ED YOU DEFICIT DENYING C*U*NT!
I’d like to talk about the difficult odors we wimmin get down there!!
Right luv. Sha’n't be going there.
The Labourites who voted for Pilgrims include some of the finest MPs money can buy, and I won’t hear a word against them.
If you like what you saw today, vote Lib Dem, Labour or Tory, and you’ll get more of it in the future.
We’re making Progress.
Mr Fawkes: It looks like it’s petition time again…
Not that parliament actually cares about what the sheeple wants, but if all we can do is bleat, we may as well do it as loud and annoying as is possible.
Each pilgrim needs to be wheeled in front of his boss and told in no uncertain terms that he/she is not doping what they are being paid to do and should desist forthwith from TU activities whist on pay.
If they go back to normal working, that’s that. If they do not they should be given a written warning and if that does not have the desired effect they should be summarily dismissed for gross misconduct and run off the premises.
That’s what would happen in the real world. No need for parliamentary intervention to get rid of someone who won’t do what they are being paid for.
or even ‘doing’.
I worked in a major state funded university for most of the Blair/Brown era. In my team of 5, one was a “Pilgrim”. She was in fact the branch president and worked 3 days a week on union duties. The other 2 days she caused trouble in the team. I gave up holding team meetings as all she did was grandstand and oppose everything I did to make the team effective.
Being public sector it was nigh impossible to discipline her so I had to work around it and eventually I found a job for her to do in another location (put her out to grass) so at least I got full productivity out of the rest of my team. Several years later she retired, and was not replaced. This is probably happening all over the country in the public sector and needs to be stopped. I now work in the private sector.
I should add she got a gold plated final salary pension too.
What about the rail fares hike and Cast Iron Dave’s reversal of Labour’s bill to keep them down forever. We must be told. No more cover ups.
This is the list of how the MP’s voted . Mostly Conservatives voted “aye” and the Union funded Labour MP’s voted “no” so the Bill was defeated.No surprises there then.
