Required reading for followers of UK politics

The reports of the illegal database on construction workers broken by the BBC this morning (web report linked here), is very disturbing coming on top of the recent protests at the Total Lindsey Refinery and the ongoing disputes at Staythorpe and the Isle of Grain. There is considerable confusion in the minds of politicians as to the nature of the threat this June from the BNP, a good example is this item in Independent Minds from Labour supporting Mark Seddon. The Unions are losing touch with their membership in the dispute over the impact of the EU Posted Worker Directive in this country. Read this report from the Socialist Party on the 24th February protest at Staythorpe, linked here. Whether one believes the BNP is Nazi and Far Right as some on the left of politics choose to tag it, or Far Left as its economic policies seem to indicate, it is filling a vacuum deliberately being created by a non-functioning political process and complete absence of any realistic debate within the mass-circulation media. It is almost as if the cross-party ruling establishment is waiting for an excuse to activate the tyrannical Civil Contingencies Act.
