A nice clear expression of the class war from the Bank of England's chief 'economist':
'Workers should stop trying to resist us when we pass the burden of the economic crisis onto them. Don't these selfish fools understand that our profits are paramount? After all, what's a hungry child more or less in this world ..?'

Shocked but sadly not surprised to see this from @GMB_union using members funds to further fuel the conflict in Ukraine, and announced on the anniversary of the day scores were burned to death in the Odessa Trade Union House.
