I urge the TUC to address the Labour party’s racist agenda in terms of its obsession with Islam and terrorism and stop jumping to every bigoted headline by the tabloids I further urge the TUC to pressure the labour party to a return to social policy’s that address real concerns of poverty and housing shortages pandering to big business is part of the problem not the solution. We need a large scale building project of Council houses not private house putting more people in extreme debt and the BNP will find it much more difficult to exploit in many cases very scared and vulnerable people.

Football stars (Black and white) will attract non-members to these events and at the same time we can send a political education message out that unions = anti-racism.
