Boycott the 35

Kate Belgrave has hit upon a great idea. One in which all of us should support.

A day or so before Osborne’s slash-fest, 35 companies wrote a letter to the Torygraph:

Addressing the debt problem in a decisive way will improve business and consumer confidence. Reducing the deficit more slowly would mean additional borrowing every year, higher national debt, and therefore higher spending on interest payments.

No, it wouldn’t be a decisive way to ‘improve business and consumer confidence’!

The private sector should be more than capable of generating additional jobs to replace those lost in the public sector, and the redeployment of people to more productive activities will improve economic performance, so generating more employment opportunities.

And that’s a load rubbish as well, the jobs just AREN’T THERE in the private sector. The private sector cannot rescue the public sector, it’s a myth and a big fat utter LIE!

Also, many of these companies sell items like expensive coffee, clothes and other commodities which public sector workers buy. Hasn’t it occurred to these 35 companies that their profits are gonna sink as the cuts in the public sector will have an inevitable knock-on effect to the private sector? Because many ordinary workers won’t have the money to buy a double Latte from Costa, clothes from Next or some delightful £10 quid value meal from Marks and Spencer…..

So let’s put the boot into Boots etc. Boycott these greedy companies. They want a recession, let’s give it to ‘em.

As a trade unionist I fully support Boycott the 35!
