Why these strikers may tear down the EU empire

Daily Mail
"The Government has been exposed as quislings for the Brussels empire.What is most satisfying about watching the Government's twisting in all this – beyond the fear and paralysis of Gordon Brown in the face of the strikers, and the way Peter Mandelson has been exposed as utterly out of touch with true British Labour gut instinct – is that the Government may have created for itself what could blow up into a crisis to match the liquidity crisis in the banks."

Wildcat strikes threaten to escalate after Lord Mandelson calls protests 'xenophobic'
"The issue is causing a split at the highest levels of the Labour Party. Alan Johnson, the Health Secretary and former union leader, has called for European directives to be renegotiated if necessary. It is claimed that firms are using loopholes in European law to only hire workers from certain countries. The proposal for the Government to intervene is also backed by senior Labour figures including former ministers Peter Hain and Frank Field." (Telegraph)
