Miliband's Big Trade Union Speech.

Over the past week the UK's Labour Party have been embroiled in a political scandal so boring it has had even hardened political watchers struggling to stay awake. Basically though what appears to have happened is that the trade union and big Labour Party donor Unite has been bribing local Labour Party officials in order to have their choice selected as the Labour Party's candidate at the upcoming Falkirk by-election. This is obviously a metaphor for my situation with the Labour Party being the Labour Party and the big trade union donor being the Notting Hill Housing Trust (NHHT).

Today Labour Party leader Ed Miliband is going to give a big speech on the parties relationship with the trade unions. The big announcement is expected to be that union members will in future have to opt in to being affiliated with and therefore donors to the Labour Party rather then opting out as the situation is now. This is obviously an issue of informed consent rather than presumed consent. Therefore the speech is intended to signal that the Labour Party no longer supports the NHHT and its criminal acts. To me this seems like a rather shrewd move because it makes sense to dump a donor that is soon to be bankrupted in order to concentrate on currying favour with the person who is likely to inherit most of their money.

I suppose the true test will come when I officially inform my local Labour Party MP of the situation. After all the facts dictate that he has little option other then to contact the police borough commander and the local Magistrates Court to ask them what the hell they think they're up to while at the same time contacting Croydon Council to find out why they've yet to apply for a closure order against the errant address.

The only problem with this is that I don't actually know who my local Labour MP is. This is made doubly embarrassing by the fact his constituency offices is directly across the road from the petrol station/convenience store where I regularly buy junk food when the time of the evening calls for such things.
