LIKE FATHER LIKE SON

It will be interesting to see if Cllr John Taylor makes comment in this week’s letter to his loyal body of Tamesiders, on the alleged antics of ex-Labour Government ‘enforcer’ and now Lord ‘Junket’ Jack Cunningham.

Perhaps he can justify the continuing self-serving instincts that characterised his long career on the Labour front-bench.

He might also like to comment on whether these anti-socialist traits can be hereditary, as it appears to be something of a family characteristic, bearing in mind his father, the corrupt GMB Trade Union leader Andrew Cunningham, who was jailed in 1975 for five years after being convicted of using his position to steer major public contracts toward the dodgy architect John Poulson, in return for holidays, cash and a ‘salary’ for his wife.

Not very socialist is it – or is it? 

It’s really not surprising that most ordinary people categorically detest today’s career politicians?
