PCS Mark Serwotka on public sector cuts (13Sept10)

[MEADOWBUTTERCUP]

Very well said Mr Serwotka!

[markyboy1704]

Idiot living in a fantasy land.

Nice to see Ed Miliband aligning himself with the unions again so people know what labour truely stand for.

[Intravenusdimilo]

3.44 of totally witless crap

[SuperTruth77]

The trouble with Cameron & Osborne is that they’ve talked to too many CEOs.

Talk to 1000 CEOs & they’ll all give the same spiel about making money in the razor-sharp “competitive” Private Sector, unlike those on the Public Sector “gravy-train”.

Total nonsense. Most private companies are heavily reliant on State contracts & subsidies at some point (customers, customers’ customers etc) & will go under when the cuts bite- the CEO just won’t admit it, as it hurts his/her vanity.

[regvarney]

Mr SoWhatka and his leftie friends can all fuck off.

[pharry4life]

Pathetic. People in the public sector think the world owes them a living yet there is so much waste of tax payers moneys because of these fucking unions. Ive emmigrated the country because of morons like this-enjoy the protests and juvenile boycotts-GB used to be Great. Now its just losers looking for hand me downs.

[TheCochyn]

@pharry4life Well fair thee well, non faire rien --- ooh and don't come back; you're no help at all, clearly!

[ByrneTofferings]

Jesus Christ, he's an idiot. He completely confused debt and deficit, I'd love to see us try to run a deficit of 52% of GDP. That would be hilarious.

[welshexile1963]

Go Mark! PCS will fight!

[MrBoobydoobydooo99]

i think mark serwotca seems rather gay and camp. i'm waiting for him to say "ooh shut that door, look at the muck on that". fucking gay cunt, if i ever see him, i'll kick his gay welsh bollox into his ignorant thick head.

[LeClassics]

@MrBoobydoobydooo99 I agree, let's kill all the welsh

[captainpanic08]

@MrBoobydoobydooo99 Well done. You've managed to, in one fell swoop, essentially typify the stereotypical right-wing idiot.

[3334roy]

without a doubt this is an early contender for best speech of the conference!

[SirOneoneselfandone]

Bullet in the head required here too

[Hartzcarz]

@SirOneoneselfandone Why do you not like hearing the truth?

[anon2999]

oops... repost...

Figures he doesn't know the difference between the deficit and the debt. This man has probably never looked at a balance sheet in his life.

As for his point on the UK DEBT to GDP being over 100% for a number of decades that was due to TWO WORLD WARS.

[6983lnic]

@anon2999

His point has nothing to do with the reason the GDP was over 100%, he was stating that when this was the case we did not improve our situation by attacking public services we did by investing in them which is something we should be doing now.

[anon2999]

@6983lnic Cause the UK really took off after all that nationalization and those socialist programs were implemented... oh wait, that lead to a long downhill slide that resulted in the IMF being called in.

Any improvement happened in spite of, not because of, "investing" in "public services." The public sector does not create wealth, it consumes wealth.

[Schniddo]

@anon2999 "The public sector does not create wealth, it consumes wealth."

What utter bollocks! I don't suppose you know that the Royal Mail continues to run on a profit... are you of the opinion that our rail services have improved since privatisation? Use your head before making sweeping ideological statements.

[kr050]

@anon2999 Evidence?

[DreamerDigital]

@6983lnic Invest with what exactly? More tax money from the private sector?

[liarpoliticians]

@anon2999 Don't complicate things for the unions with such trivialities as facts.... it makes them look like incompetent idiots. Oh wait....!
