Unite's reaction to David Cameron's speech to the Tory party
conference
8th October 2009
Unite joint general secretary, Derek Simpson, said: "At the
height of the worst recession in decades Cameron said nothing about
job creation, nothing about supporting our industries and nothing
about reining in his friends in the city who caused the economic
meltdown.
"Cameron pandered to the Thatcherite small state obsession at a
time when anyone can see the need for more government intervention
in the economy.
"The Tories are trying to fool the nation with Cameron playing
the good cop and Osborne playing the bad cop.
"Cameron desperately tried to row back from the bleak picture
painted by his shadow chancellor. No matter what he said the Tories
will swing the axe at the public sector while making ordinary
families work for longer and for less."
