Subject: Re: AUT: Fwd: article and interview on firefighters' struggle in UK



I don't see what you're getting at Graham. It seems
that some rank and file FBU members consider that
Gilchrist has been or is trying to sell them out. I
don't know any more than this, since I'm not on the
spot and haven't read all that much about the
situation. I never used the words 'sell out' when I
posted the interview. Are you suggesting that workers
would never use words like that? And do you think that
saying that the vast majority of workers in the West
have illusions in reformism is 'knowing all the
answers in advance'? I'd call it a pretty obvious
observation. And since when did it become a crime to
be a 'leftist'? What are we supposed to be, rightists?
Perhaps you can point me towards some more exemplary
writing about the firefighters' or another workers'
struggle.
