Of course the real story today is that one to do with the start of the postal workers story. The decision of the CUW to take action was made following tremendous pressure put on them by the manager level who want to change the organisation at the expense of workers. Congratulations to the postal workers for standing up! Messages of support can be posted on the web site http://www.cwu.org/
The other story is the one to do with the BNP being allowed to appear on BBC question time tonight. That will of course give them a platform and maximum publicity but I do not believe it will do anything other than expose what they really stand for. The only concern is that the BBC has chosen people to be on the panel who may not have the intellectual ability to achieve total defeat and they should have chosen (assuming that they were right to allow this in the first place) more capable panel members? I am not sure that the reason for allowing the BNP to be on the programme is an acceptable one and whether a party that will abolish freedom of speech should be allowed to enjoy the facility? Are we back in the 30's and is this Nazi Germany??
