It was always very clear to people here that the Labour party,
(it's in opposition now) is not about labour (workers).
Tony Blair could have easily fitted in with the Conservative Party.
The moto of the Labour party is : Vote for us, or you'll get the Tories
i.e. We're bad-asses, but we're friendlier than the Conservatives.
Now, they've gotten more intelligent and are trying to psych out the
labour movement that is set for a 1 million-person strike next month.
The Labour party says:
"striking is a Tory trick"
"they'll use it as an excuse to hurt the unions"

Ed Balls warns union leaders not to fall into Tory strike 'trap'
Shadow chancellor Ed Balls has warned union leaders not to fall into the ‘trap’ of organising the biggest strike in 85 years.
Balls accused ministers of deliberately provoking a confrontation with the unions so they could be blamed for the failing economy.
‘The trade unions must not walk into the trap of giving George Osborne the confrontation that he wants to divert attention from a failing economy,’ he said.
Meanwhile, Treasury chief secretary Danny Alexander said ministers would stick to their guns over public sector pension reforms despite the strike threats. Millions of workers would have to pay more in contributions and work for longer if the value of their retirement benefits was to be maintained into the future, he added.
His comments were condemned by union leaders as they set the stage for a wave of industrial action on a scale not seen since the general strike of 1926.
Unison general secretary Dave Prentis told Sky News: ‘We wanted to negotiate all the way through but if we’re going to be treated with disdain in the way that we are being, then we will move to an industrial action ballot.’
He predicted up to 10million people could be involved in the first strike on June 30 if his members, which include NHS staff, agreed.
His warning was echoed by Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services union which represents almost 300,000 civil servants.
‘I think if the government isn’t prepared to change course after that strike, we will see unions move to ballot their members for strikes in the autumn,’ he told BBC1’s Andrew Marr Show.
