THE Marxist rabble I referred to are those trade union officials whose intention it is to destroy this country, immature university students who haven't the nous to find out for themselves what is really happening to these once relatively peaceful islands and also assorted academics and politicians who live in nice leafy suburbs or picturesque villages and think multi-culturalism and racial integration is good for everyone (except them), and have the gall to denounce most vehemently all those who think otherwise. I take exception to Mr Drake's implication (Letters, February 2) that I include ordinary working class trade unionists, the ones that were long since abandoned by New Labour and, yes, by the trade unions too.
What a pity the ordinary decent members, the majority, can't all stand firm and refuse to pay their fees until the leaders start looking after workers' interests. It would stop self-seeking, over-paid union bosses squandering the money instead of doing something to stop the haemorrhaging of British jobs to foreign countries.
