Seumas Milne: BA strike judgment is blatantly political

Comment

Seamus Milne writing for the Guardian's Comment is Free column: "The injunction banning British Airways cabin crew from striking exploits anti-union law and will only ensure the dispute drags on. Striking workers have never had any favours from the High Court. And today's injunction outlawing this week's planned strike by British Airways' cabin crew is a classic of its kind. Never mind the basic democratic right to withdraw your own labour, underpinned by a 92% yes vote on an 80% turnout. The anti-union laws first introduced by Margaret Thatcher and hailed by Tony Blair as "the most restrictive in the western world" mean that balloting technicalities and loopholes can routinely be exploited by employers to declare strikes unlawful.

No to the English Defence League in Bolton! No to racism! No to fascism!

The English Defence League (EDL) — a group of racist thugs and football hooligans with links to the Nazi BNP — intend to marching on Bolton on 20th March to whip up race hatred against Asians. These thugs spread fear and terror when they rampaged through Luton and Stoke recently. They smashed cars, attacked shops and assaulted Asians. When some locals tried to stop them they were called ‘race traitors’ and attacked.
