from Tony is that we have all been transformed into loving. caring stakeholders with a deep feeling for the good society that we can call our own. Unfortunately this message is lost on most of us.
It is difficult, for example. to claim that we all deserve a stake when company bosses make millions and Blair is unprepared to give a paltry minimum wage of {4.15 an hour.
It is also difficult to swallow Blair's talk of a moral community at work when dockers in Liverpool have been victimised. And Blair is substituting a commitment to full employment with workfare style plans for the unemployed.
How is it that the society in which we are supposed to have a stake in ends up spending millions of pounds on rail privatisation, yet claims that there is no money for schools and hospitals?
What sort of stake are women supposed to have when attacks on the welfare state means that more and more burden falls on them?
What sort of stake are workers supposed to have whep. Blair refuses to repeal the anti-union laws and tells them to buy shares instead!
NO MORE KB 203 Deepening divisions ore taking ploce os the welfare state is groducly being dismantled How are black people to understand stakeholding when the Immigration ind Asylum Bill threatens constant harassment over "immigration status?
This is a society where asylum seekers are locked up while the Maxwell brothers go free.
All in all, stakeholding is just another excuse for inequality and for deepening divisions that are taking place as the welfare state is gradually being dismantled.
In place of all the warm words emanating from the mouths of the Labour front bench socialists have to take up the fight for a different society—one based on human need rather than profit.
This means standing in solidarity with all those fighting for an alternative in Britain and abroad.
