Support for striking teachers

Sir, I can't believe there are only 30 odd teachers on strike at Rawmarsh School. There should be a complete walk out by the NUT across the borough in support of their colleagues at Rawmarsh comprehensive, but who will support them?

New Labour won't, they are all for academies and free schools-- ask Tony Blair and our three stooges, Macshame, Barron and Healey.

They CLAIM to be socialists. In fact they are rich middle class yes men who dare not say anything or support our local teachers in case the golden goose stops laying the golden eggs they have become customed to.

Labour don't give a damn about you.

Teachers you have my full support, stay strong and don't give in. say no to free schools, say no to education cuts, say yes to better pay and working conditions.
