Unsurprisingly it has attracted condemnation from a leading US politician with Galway roots but what is surprising is that the idea was first proposed by Labour Party Councillor. <br /><br />As a Socialist myself and a huge admirer of Che, I would welcome any commemoration of the revolutionary, however I find it incredible and hypocritical that the person behind the plan is a representative of a party that would scorn any Socialist or revolutionary action, a representative of a party who condemn strikes and fail to defend the working class from austerity. <br /><br />I'm sure both Che and the workers of 1831 Merthyr would roll in their graves at the thought of being fawned over by a party of the ruling class and a party of Capitalism which the Labour Party have undoubtedly become.Scott Joneshttp://rocknrollsocialist.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
