Patrick Harrington (far left) looking glum after another disasterous hearing.
Patrick Harrington’s Solidarity “Union” sent out an email yesterday. “Hard Time Ahead-Get Union Protection” it told me.I agree with the sentiment. However that is about the only advice I would ever take from the faux trade union of the BNP. Their email continues “Apparently, the reason why businesses are not taking on workers is because it is not easy enough to sack them!”
There of course speaks the voice of experience, because Solidarity and its General Secretary Patrick Harrington seem to spend most of its time in employment tribunals defending the BNP against its former employees! Oh, and not very well I might add too.
Harrington and his fake union was recently criticised by the panel at the recent General Teaching Council for England (GTCE) hearing where Harrington was defending disgraced teacher and BNP activist Mark Walker. The hearing was called to discuss the conduct of Walker who used school computers to send a vulnerable 16-year-old former pupil a sexually explicit message via email.
Walker sent the girl emails while working at Sunnydale Community College, in Shildon, County Durham, in 2007. The panel found Walker guilty of unacceptable professional conduct and banned him from teaching indefinitely.
The panel criticised Harrington after he made a statement on the Solidarity website regarding Mark Walker’s suspension and referred to a scheduled investigatory meeting, which should have remained confidential to the school, Walker and Harrington.
The GTCE panel described Harrington’s actions as “inappropriate”.
Hope not hate
There's an interesting post on the British Democracy Forum about Squalidarity.
ReplyDelete"I note with great interest that according to its recently submitted accounts, the parasite's "trade union", despite persistent claims that this tiny organisation was "growing" and "gaining members" both before and since the general election, is claiming that at the end of 2010 it had exactly the same number of members, and in precisely the same proportions as it had at the end of 2009, viz:
2010:
Male members: 335
Male members in Northern Ireland: 5
Female members: 60
Female members in Northern Ireland: 0
Total: 400
2009:
Male members: 335
Male members in Northern Ireland: 5
Female members: 60
Female members in Northern Ireland: 0
Total: 400
This is most curious. Either nobody joined and nobody left during 2010, or those that left were replaced in exactly the same number and proportion by those who joined - a most remarkable feat of coincidence.
Most of us will recall the degree of "hype" attendant upon this "trade union" in BNP circles prior to the 2010 general election, when some very astonishing claims were made for it. One could have been forgiven for believing that it would soon be challenging the likes of Unison or Unite for supremacy.
Doubt is immediately cast upon this claim to 400 hundred members by the fact of the organisation's 2011 annual general meeting attracting an attendance comparable to that of a poorly attended dinner party - the actual number escapes me (less than fifteen, I believe).
Now those with a long and intact memory of the parasite will be aware that in the matter of figures of any kind, most remarkable feats of coincidence are in fact regular and normal occurrences, and not remarkable at all. They may always - and will be - explained away by some sleazy long-winded confection of tortured words designed to bamboozle and weary those who make legitimate inquiry.
I do not for one moment believe this proffered figure of 400 persons, almost all of them belonging to the BNP, paying a subscription to this "trade union" at the end of 2010, can be anything like the truth. The fortunes of this organisation are directly tied to those of the larger host organisation, and as we are very well aware, this was in a parlous condition as 2010 closed, and the parasite himself (along with his "trade union") had by then been the beneficiaries of months of negative internal and external publicity.
The most remarkable thing would be that so many as 200 persons continued to subscribe to this parasitical organism for reasons other than political or physical blindness.
I hear the parasite (or his friends on this forum) coming back at me with the cry that Silver and Company have signed off the accounts without demur, and that these accounts have been accepted by the Certification Officer. In this way were questions regarding the "trade union's" 2009 accounts parried, with nothing like an answer to the specific questions asked being given, that exercise in avoidance still existing on the website of the organisation in question.
It is a fact, of course, that neither the accountants employed nor the Certification Officer has access to the membership lists nor the details of the payments these individuals make. It is because of this, to place an example before you, that the Unite trade union was not taken to task for claiming more than half a million members more than it had - this was something that came to light only when an aggressive internal audit took place as the union's leaders questioned the disparity between income and the numbers of members it notionally had. As a consequence, Unite could no longer claim to be Britain's largest trade union.
I note also in the sparse accounts of "our" "nationalist trade union" other odd anomalies, which include surprising and unexplained (number of?) donations of £9477, which I leave it to others to examine."
Their email continues “Apparently, the reason why businesses are not taking on workers is because it is not easy enough to sack them!”
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the standard Conservative line?
Just goes to show that underneath Harrington's supposed 'radicalism' beats the heart of a right-wing Tory!
Bet Harrington likes Clarkson!
ReplyDeleteGri££in's didling the books to launder BNP funds in Solidarity to hide the cash from the courts so Gri££o won't have enough cash available to pay damages to the Decrmbrist rebels!
ReplyDeleteHarrington stated on the BNP website a few weeks ago on a film from the EU that Squalidarity had over 700 members?????
ReplyDeleteIs that Harrington on Eammon Holmes?
ReplyDeleteHa Ha look at the pervert walker brothers

ReplyDeleteI think it's a parody on the Tory line. Actually I think it is disconcerting that Trade Unions don't seem to fighting the proposed Tory plans to make it easier to dismiss workers?!
