I never saw this protest and this subject on the UK BBC or other channels. Why does the great British public let people walk over them. The British have great history since the 1400. What has changed them? They used to conquer the world....

Fantastic film Shaun. I wonder if there is a blacklist for journalists ;-) I have found it extremely difficult to get paid work since about 1994.

Film of the building industry managers coming in to the awards ceremony says it all - this country is being led by thugs and bullies who sack anyone who thinks independently. The cruellest and most selfish get massive financial rewards and we are moving fast towards a brutish 'law of the jungle' regime in the UK. Let's organise against this.

One or two newspapers picked up on this last month, but institutionalized media like the Tory run bbc failed to mention this, this should be on Panorama or Dispatches at the least.

Disgusting! Support from down under comrades, don't give up.

The Organisation of Professional Gas Operatives would like to offer our support for those blacklisted in the UK building industry. Thanks for revealing what is going on in this industry!
