IN ONE of his first triumphal speeches after winning the general election, Cameron made it clear that it is his belief that his Conservative Party now represents the workers of the country, and that the Labour Party no longer does.

This is very encouraging indeed considering that he intends to make negotiating changes to our membership conditions of the European Union, and I am sure that those workers that voted for him and that he now purports to represent will be highly delighted when he negotiates better ‘workers rights’ for them, won’t they? Did I by chance just see a pink pig just go flying past my living room window?

Since joining the EU it has always been the UK that has tried to upset the apple cart by wanting a ‘purely corporate business model’, which unsurprisingly does not include any rights at all for workers, full stop, and indeed has openly denied as many of these workers rights as possible by opting out at every possible opportunity.

One instance is that we enjoy far fewer public holidays than the majority of our European cousins, and there are many other instances which would take too long to mention here.

If Cameron gets his way, and if other countries are silly enough to listen to his advances to them, which I don’t think for one minute the majority of them will, then the hard fought for existing rights for workers will disappear overnight, as this is a government that wishes to bring in UK legislation to remove the only bargaining chip that workers have which is the right to strike, by making it almost impossible to be able to do so. At the same time Cameron intends to tear up the human rights treaty for every one of us, which does not bear thinking about as this will turn our once free and fair country into a virtually totalitarian state.

Is this really what the population voted for with all its dire implications, as I don’t for one minute believe that it was.
