Dear
Comrade,
Re:
Gerard Dempsey Resignation with Immediate Effect
I write to resign my membership and record my utmost disgust at the ongoing
misconduct by the so called Leadership, acting GS, Officers and most of the
current inept PLP.
It
is a challenge to keep it brief at the toxic nature of the above and almost any
tangible trace of socialist values from the party.
1
Expunging
socialism from the party and attacks on decent socialists.
2
Whipping
up bogus Anti semitsm with right wing groups and the BoD.
Whilst
engaging in racism and inequality against other groups including by MPs and
staff towards muslims, blacks, gypsies and travellers.
Failing
to defend Palestinians from the brutal oppression and genocide by the Israel
state including murder, torture, ethnic cleansing of palestinians.
3
We have witnessed Assaf Kaplan being hired by Labour as a
social listening and organising manager, a new post described as “a crucial new
role at the heart of Labour’s new approach to digital campaigning”.
The complaint from Bindmans solicitors alleges that Kaplan
worked for Unit 8200, the cyber branch of the Israeli Defence Force, from 2009
to 2013. It adds that the unit has been mired in controversy over its
surveillance practices against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank and Gaza.
4
The
party failure to suspend /expel all those Cllrs involved in the Rotherham CSE
Grooming that caused over 1600 children to be sexually abused and raped. The
lack of safeguarding and the Coverups on an industrial scale for years.
Failure
of the LP to deal with above complaints on the above for many years; then again
approving the same unfit Cllrs to
re-stand.
5
Rotherham Council
and other councils embraced tory cuts rather than fight.
They ignored the
valiant campaign to save Day Care Centres in Rotherham that every major union,
socialists, communities and over 100, 000 who signed petitions,
campaigned and opposed the Council's pernicious closure of every
Learning Disability Day Care centre in Rotherham serving the most vulnerable.
6
On the NHS bill we are treated with a
kak handed policy.
Labour is rightly voting against I believe and yet it is
Labour Cllrs who have sat in the integrated care partnerships for 2-3 years and
which are now to be key to further NHS destruction
Not one Labour Cllr has ever resigned from being a member of
the integrated care partnerships.
Its all about the cash and gravy train.
Just 32 Labour MPs (approximately 16%) signed the motion
opposing the USA takeover & wholesale privatisation of our NHS.
Labour should be Standing up for our NHS night & Day to
defend our frontline heroes.
They should be Exposing the sale of the NHS 24/7.
But They won't, they are funded by spivs, fat cats and
several Private Health Vultures.
Labour are reduced to flogging off NHS/Labour pin badges
7
Undermining
the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn for 5 years by most of the PLP and GLU staff.
Recklessly
and deliberate acts to lose the 2017 and 2019 elections.
Putting
forward the 2nd brexit referendum by Starmer that was incendiary and toxic on
the doorsteps despite the most welcome and progressive manifesto for
generations.
8
Emma
Dent Coad was spot on with her recent comments about the Establishment clone
Sir
Starmer. We are under no illusions about Starmer as he continues his merry way
to wreak destruction on the Labour Party on behalf of the Establishment, with
whom Starmer is very unified.
Starmar
jailed julian assange on a pack of wicked lies for the Establishment.
All part of preserving the status quo for the
establishment with Starmers dodgy involvement in the Trilateral commision.
9
Finally,
Keir Starmer refused to sign Unite’s letter demanding an end to fire &
rehire.
It
says so much. Disgraceful.
Time
he showed some guts and passion by genuinely talking for workers.
It’s
pathetic.
10
Covid:
Starmer and his front bench failed to challenge the
Government for months including on lack of PPE and duty of care to our
NHS and social care staff. They were woefully silent and in a state of
paralysis.
The movement and public had to do it.
Then Starmer infamously pushed the government to re-open
schools, “No ifs, no buts, no equivocation” – and schools promptly became the
main driver for the new ‘Delta’ third wave of the pandemic.
They refused to heed the pleas by our dedicated teaching
staff and their trade unions.
We had a footballer who had to lead the just fight for free
school meals. Whilst Sir keith was too busy waiting for his focus groups
to tell him which way to go!
At best, Starmer is totally inept, out of his depth and got
dreadful judgement.
11
The
failure to publish the findings of the Forde Inquiry.
Using
members and trade union monies to reward wrongdoing of party staff instead of
dismissing them for gross misconduct.
Plotting
against party members
There is nothing in the custom & practice of Labour’s
best traditions that prevents members from voicing criticisms of the current
leadership.
Plotting, scheming, diverting election monies - now that
would be different!
12
The
above factors demonstrate the appointment of an unfit and not fit for purpose
acting Labour GS.
13
A
Leadership that has been took over again by Neo liberalism and that has
rode roughshod over the values & principles of the movement.
Behaving
more like a Tory Reserve 2nd eleven or bargain basement Tory Tribute band.
It's difficult to have principles when you frankly don't
believe in anything under the current leadership.
When you inherit the
largest socialist party in Europe, lose over 115k members on YOUR watch,
alienate loyal Left trade unionists, create disunity, take your party to the
brink of bankruptcy. And your answer is to proscribe groupings. Its absolutely
appalling.
14
The
latest attacks on socialist groups and members.
What has happened to the values of
UKLabour when members and MPs can jump in bed with
those who attacked trade unionists, Liverpool supporters and phone tapping
families like Milly Dowler.
As they brief & write for The Sun, seek the support of
Murdoch, without fear of discipline.
But going to political schools to understand the relevance
& application of the theories of Marxism creates panic.
"An
attack on one, is an attack on us all
We
stand in Solidarity"
I
have broken free from my chains.
I
have cancelled my direct debits.
My
conscience will not tolerate it for a moment longer to now belong to a party
that has lost its moral compass.
It
now exists in name only - it stains and violates real labour values of our
Movement.
Yours
sincerely
