He can, will, and should be critiqued for what he says and does. Solidarity with RMT members though!īad faith and centrist politics go hand-in-hand, and the Twitter centrist version of this is the most virulent of all.Įddie Dempsey is a public figure and a senior trade unionist at a moment of working class uprising. I don’t need white leftists telling me how I should feel about Eddie Dempsey excluding people of colour from “working class” thanks. The same Twitter user said he could come to his own conclusions about Eddie Dempsey without the help of “white leftists”: Remember kids everybody on the left and its institutions MUST be ideologically pure according to the centrists’ terms but their politicians can kill half a million Iraqis and it’s treated as a footnote under the NHS budget princess diana is in all of us 🚩👑🏳️🌈 August 31, 2022Īnother pointed out that pretending to be very, very sad about the ideological purity of figures on the Left was out of place among the people whose political heroes destroyed Iraq: If your position is "I will only support striking workers if Eddie Dempsey or XYZ union bureaucrat has politics I completely agree with", you're probably not really interested in supporting strikers in the first place. One Twitter user called centrists out for never having any intention of backing workers, saying they should stop wasting people’s time: Waitrose Twitter finding out about far right views of Eddie Dempsey and then instantly making it the reason not to support strikes after trying and failing to cancel RMT over Ukraine & Brexit the week before is the reason we can never have a proper convo about racism on the Left. This support, some say, never really existed anyway: Many seem to think the footage is just a pretext for well-off pseudo-lefties to withdraw support for working class people, i.e., trade unions. nlYo2WIcmFīut not everyone was convinced by the latest centrist meltdown. Some of his speeches only fall slightly short of the kind of content you’d see at EDL rallies. This is disturbing, incredibly divisive and tells me I’m right to think critically about the intentions of the Enough is Enough campaign. It has that feel? /GUHOuWuG65Īnother used the footage to attack the Enough is Enough campaign, a coalition of unions and a handful of Labour MPs fighting for better conditions for working class people:
Is Eddie Dempsey (previously thought of as a good guy) really chanelling Tommy Robinson and quoting tropes from the UKIP playbook? Dave 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇮🇪 🇨🇾 September 1, 2022Īnother Twitter user suggested he was using tropes from the “UKIP playbook”: He's no Tommy Shelby he's a blatant fascist spawn of Mosley.Īnother reason Keir Starmer was right. The FBU just gave Liz Truss the perfect welcome as PMĮddie Dempsey the Putin supporting face of the now praising Tommy Robinson!.Unions and ‘left’ politicians backing a national unity project is a bad idea, actually.
