Attack over ‘two Britains’

BRITAIN is made up of two countries, with lengthening dole queues alongside “bonus-drunk” bankers carrying on business as usual despite the state of the economy, the leader of the country’s biggest union has warned.

Unite general-secretary Len McCluskey also stressed that he wanted the Olympics to be successful, despite sparking controversy by suggesting that strikes could be held during the Games.

Writing on the Labour List website, Mr McCluskey said his remarks about industrial action this summer had been “hyped” and had caused “confusion”. He said he “couldn’t care less” about the criticism he had drawn from Prime Minister David Cameron.
