Union “Wealth Creators” Give Chuka £24,500

Chuka met with comrades at the TUC conference last night, and he was certainly full of bluster as he made the journey south with his boss:

Guido wasn’t quite sure what Chuka had been smoking, but then suddenly all became clear. In June 2010 the GMB union donated £8,500 to the sharp-suited MP, coming back again the following year to give him another grand. Then this summer Paul Kenny’s band of killjoys – currently planning coordinated strikes with Unison – sent Chuka another £15,000 to “support his office”. A grand total of £24,500 over the last two years. So that’s what he meant by creating wealth.

Since unions are such good wealth creators they won’t need taxpayers’ money any more then…

      If trade unions are wealth creators then bankers are paragons of virtue.

        They’ve created plenty of wealthy leaders, raking in money to pay their leaders telephone number salaries, give them chauffeured cars and expense accounts.

          Trade Unions are the greatest destroyers of personal wealth known. They couldn’t run a jumble sale incompetent idiots. They are excellent parasites though and could suck all the wealth from this Country in days if allowed,

            No matter how much exposure you or other bloggers give to the crooked, venal liars of the Left or provide repeated revelations about their dishonesty, greed, incompetence, deceit – it will make no difference to the hapless and foolish voters of GB plc….for Miliband will be triumphantly photographed in front of Number 10 in 2015.

            Duly elected by the BBC, the Gurnyiad and the key influencers of the Left who now dominate the national media, the judiciary, the quangos, the charity-bureaucratic industrial complex, academia, the classrooms, the public sector, the Civil Service, the health sector, the benefits agencies……

            Every child and youth in the UK has been educated by Marxists (or Marxist theory), influenced by socialists and entertained by their fellow travellers.

            So Unions and socialist governments can ‘create wealth’ can they? Who knew?

            I thought unions and socialists governments only ever taxed more and more and put wealth to flight.

            I don’t earn much at all, but my aspirations are to be successful. If the pendulum swings as far to the left as the unions and Ed wants, I’m on the first flight out of the country. I’m not giving them one ounce of my potential.

          “wealth can be neither created nor destroyed”

          OK, its not true, one can blow up a factory, or invent antibiotics. But in more mundane settings, theres a bit of truth in it – you can just look where the money came from/went. Its usually just a question of syphoning.

      The Public Sector, whose unions are organising strikes to demand more money to be sucked out of the Private sector to pay for their salaries and benefits. do not create a single cent of wealth.

      A McCluskey-designed iPad would only work if it cost 1000x it’s value, spouted illegible gibberish, Map app only showed Soviet-era maps, use of the Internet was restricted to LabourList and The Guardian and iBooks only had Das Kapital, Chairman Mao’ Little Red Book and Dave Spart’s Guide to Wunderbar East Berlin.

      Oh, and it packed up at 4pm and refused to work again until the next day.

      The funny thing is that it wasn’t Thatcher who cost all those jobs but the greedy unions themselves by blackmailing company bosses to pay workers higher wages and making their products uncompetitive against foreign competition. Competition is what unions clearly have no understanding of. I don’t know if this is through mass hypnotism or just sheer bloody stupidity.

By the way, you are funded by the Unions I am funded by my boys, but, for obvious reasons, we don’t declare it. Boaz.

    There was a chariot racing around the stadium, and on that chariot sat a fly. As a great dust arose, both from the pounding of the horses’ hooves, and also from the turning of the wheels, the fly exclaimed, Oh what a mighty dust I have stirred up!
