Why would the trade unions be giving Dover labour party £26000 ?
The labour party is not a democratic party, nor a party that supports British workers.
It was the labour party that was responsible for driving down the wages of the British working class, with mass open door cheap immigrant workers
I think British trade union members need to get control of there unions,
To stop this support

Perhaps some was the rent at Coombe Valley as they hired some rooms.
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

the money could have been better spent on opening up the new toilets/kiosk on the seafront.

Keith s
The Dover express saying the unions gave Dover labour party £26'000
And the unions will apparently be bank rolling the labour parties Dover parachute girl!
I just don't get why the unions would support a party that doesn't support
British workers??

Open letter sent from ukip to the trade unions
Paul Nuttall MEP the UKIP Deputy Leader has written to Len McCluskey, General Secretary of Unite the Union, calling on him to treat his members with fairness and decency and open the union's political fund out beyond the confines of the Labour party.
The letter reads:
Dear Mr McCluskey
I read with interest the recent poll of Unite's members by Lord Ashcroft, who found that 12% of your membership would individually choose to join the Labour Party (if contributions to the political fund were no longer attributed automatically).
In the same survey we noticed that 12% also happens to be the percentage of Unite members who would vote UKIP.
Given that there is such significant support for UKIP within the union we expect that (in the interests of transparency, equality and the democratic process in general) Unite will be adding UKIP to the list of political parties that your members are invited to donate to via the political fund.
In the spirit of comradeship we write to confirm our consent for you to add UKIP to the list of mainstream parties to which Unite members can direct their political donations via the political fund.
We look forward to such parity, and to the deepening friendship between UKIP and the labour movement that it will foster.
In contrast to the Labour Party, UKIP is already:
"a party that offers real hope, that stands up for the poor and vulnerable, that puts growth at the heart of its agenda, that confronts privilege... [and will give the electorate] a real and vivid choice as to the future of our country, not one that leaves the electorate indifferent."
Unfortunately, unless you knowingly become a full member of UKIP in your own right, we can't offer you any influence over our choice of candidates but at least you'll know that UKIP will actually protect the wages and livelihoods of the working class of the United Kingdom, rather than swamping the labour market with immigrants prepared to work for less than the minimum wage.
Yours sincerely
Paul Nuttall MEP
UKIP Deputy Leader

Very good letter by UKIP. They make a good case. The Labour Party's claim to the automatic allegience of British workers is long past its sell-by date.

Well, I am sure begging letter writers do need to have some imagination.
I wonder what would happen if 12% of Bulgarians fancied coming over here simply for the benefits, 12% Greeks, 12% Spanish etc. etc.

The labour party do not support British workers, ,ukip do
Ukip is the natural party for British workers
The conservative party support the rich
, the labour party support international immigration
And globalisation

Its still all about immigration Keith.
The ties between the Labour Party and Unions are more than can be unravelled by increased choice at the Ballot Box. The reasons why somebody would be a union member and yet feel able to vote for a Party other than Labour are many and varied.
Just because you happen to be walking past the Divorce Courts does not mean that the newly freed 'un-wife' must fall into your arms.
Why not, if you (or any other UKIP supporter) wish to signal the benefits of voting UKIP, give us all a run down of how things would be different if it were UKIP, rather than the Lib-Dems, that were the Conservatives' coalition partners?

Any coalition with ukip, would need to brig a democratic referendum on EU membership
And if we left the EU, a return of full powers back to the UK parliament.
British workers at the bottom would benefit from this because the torrent of cheap EU workers would stop, enabling a more balanced jobs market.
And the cutting of the money train to the EU

No, no, Keith. This will not do. I am trying to push you past the fact that all UKIP argument is anchored to immigration.
Can we not hold off on dreams of the future and stick with the possible effect UKIP would have had, had they been the coalition partners?
Has there been any measure passed in Parliament over the last few years where UKIP-
-would have blocked more effectively than the L-Ds?
-would not have watered down as the L-Ds have done?
on matters such as the NHS, Education, Defence, HSR2, targeting the poor, etc.?

Tom the returning of the uk parliament would need to happen, to be an agreement.
Even you must admit if this happened it would bring massif changes to the uk,
We would dump all the nonsense holding back the uk .
Energy bills would drop; this in its self would help all UK energy customers
The cuts would come at the top not at the bottom.
