Hmm, seems I'm not the only one who can spot a fascist. This is hardly an action you would expect from a friend of the working class.
Doncaster union rep suspended after speaking out
Doncaster council suspended Jim Board, the branch secretary of Doncaster Unison union branch on Monday of this week after he spoke out in the media.
Jim was told he was being suspended for “failure to follow a reasonable management instruction”.
This relates to an interview Jim gave to Channel 4 about the case of two brothers who attacked two children in Edlington, near Doncaster.
Jim did not speak to the media about the case until after both of the boys had entered guilty pleas in court.
As well as being suspended from his position at the council, Jim has been effectively barred from entering the Unison office and carrying out his role as a union representative. This comes as Doncaster council is attempting to push through a series of cuts.
Questions are also being raised about the timing of Jim’s suspension.
It coincided with a press conference given by Doncaster’s right wing English Democrat mayor Peter Davies who called on workers to support the Workers of England Union (WEU). The WEU is a non-TUC affliated “union” which boasts it is “proud of being English”.

The worm has ate the apples core, beneath the skin lies curled.
Just so many a man lies sore, from the worm within the world.
