Bloktilskud til Grønland

A decisive and pernicious role in the defeat of the miners was played by the right wing within the trade unions and the equal, if not greater, treachery of Kinnock, the then Labour leader. With the rest of his family, Kinnock has become a multimillionaire due to his sojourn in British politics and the European gravy train, while the miners and their families, villages and communities were ruined. The miners' strike is one of the most glorious pages in the history of the British working-class movement, demonstrating, at the same time, however, the perfidious character of the right-wing trade union and labour leaders.

A similarly treacherous and cowardly role was played by Kinnock and other Labour leaders in the Liverpool struggle between 1983 and 1987. A socialist Labour council had begun to transform the lives of the people of the city and, moreover, had achieved something that neither Galtieri nor Kinnock had managed, that is, to defeat Thatcher in 1984. This excited the most vicious hostility from Kinnock and his entourage.

In the recent, shameful distribution of character assassinating emails from Brown's private office is once more revealed the degeneration of Labour from a pro-workers' party at the bottom, albeit with a pro-capitalist leadership, into one no different in its politics and 'morals', or lack of them, than the other capitalist parties in Britain.

One of those denouncing the unspeakable Derek Draper and Damian McBride – the two held responsible for the emails - is none other than former Blair cabinet minister, Charles Clarke! It was this individual who advised Kinnock on how to attack Militant in Liverpool. On one famous occasion on Wigan station, he was present when Kinnock declared: "I have got them now" in reference to Militant, Liverpool city council and the labour movement on Merseyside. Kinnock's statement was provoked by the announcement of 'redundancy notices', a tactic suggested by self-sacrificing Liverpool Labour councillors in order to gain time to manage the resources of the beleaguered city in 1985. There was absolutely no intention to make a single council worker redundant and yet Kinnock vehemently argued that this was the intention in his notorious 1985 Labour Party conference speech. In other words, Kinnock and Clarke connived in an outright lie to destroy Militant, as they saw it, and sabotage a city council that had begun to improve the lives and conditions of thousands of workers in Liverpool. Kinnock's sidekick Roy Hattersley, without a shred of evidence, subsequently denounced "literal corruption" without suggesting any names or back-up information. The same Hattersley and Kinnock, of course, remain silent on the gross spectacle of 'Labour MPs, yes Labour MPs' with their snouts in the pig trough of parliamentary expenses and second homes.

USA's præsident, Donald Trump, har valgt at aflyse sit besøg i Danmark, der var planlagt til at foregå fra 2. til 3. september.
Det sker på grund af statsminister Mette Frederiksens (S) klare afvisning af at diskutere et muligt salg af Grønland til USA, skriver præsidenten i et opslag på Twitter natten til onsdag dansk tid.

Det må vel være en sag, der skal diskuteres meget grundigt med Grønland, før der kan tages endelig stilling.
Hun burde måske i stedet med et smil have serveret Gammel Dansk i haglbyger og til sidst have sendt ham til tælling med et krav om at få Maryland, Mount Everest og Grand Canyon i bytte som en mindre del af betalingen.
