Crow: Cable merely a ‘bag-carrier’

Bob Crow, general secretary of the RMT union, comments ahead of Vince Cable’s speech to the Lib Dem Conference:

“On the one hand he says that he will try and control unfettered capitalism but on the other hand his government is implementing cuts that will hit the poorest hardest while leaving the bankers and speculators who created this crisis unscathed,” he said.

“Whatever way Vince Cable and Nick Clegg try and dress it up they are merely bag carriers and apologists for the most right wing and reactionary government in a generation which will unleash misery the length and breadth of the country as the austerity cuts hit home.”
