Regional supervision of UNISON Branches

In a welcome development today, 1 April, all UNISON Branches in Greater London believed to be led by idiot branch secretaries, starting with the Lambeth local government branch, are to be placed under Regional supervision.

New UNISON Regional Manager, Nick Venedi, until recently joint Branch Secretary in Lambeth is to play a key role, alongside newly appointed organisers Sid and Doris Blogger.

This development has already been welcomed by the "UNISON Active" blog, and it is understood that Regional Finance Convenor, John Gray will comment further shortly.

All members in affected branches will be contacted before noon on Thursday April 1st.

Hey John, got that one wrong. I am in fact running away to Hollywood (or was it Crickelwood) with Brad Pitt. He decided to drop Angelina Jollywally as she could no longer deal with his membership of the UL. So won't have time to do the supervision thing..

What is it with Paul Holmes and his inability to quote Bob Dylan (his big hero, or so he says) correctly?

"idiot" Branch secretaries?

What makes you think that such disablist language is acceptable from a trade union official?

"Idiots"? Not very PC is it, and especially not when attributed to another UNISON member. Rule I anyone?

We may all have doubts about the competence and motivations of certain other comrades, John, but is it not a bit harsh/uncomradely to refer to other comrades as an idiots?

Would you publically call an employer an "idiot"? I doubt it...

Hi Nick

Congrats on the new job!

Hi Anon

"idiots" is not "disablist" you dipsticks.

Double check the links before you get off your high horse.

Why do you spit more venom at other trade unionists than you do employers?

Lambeth? What about Southwark, and Havering?!

Shut them all down and run them centrally I say!

Don’t be so naughty – but you can always email me to confirm my suspicions about who and who.

Hi anon 15.58
Don’t be so childish and silly. I only give out what I get. Okay – with interest from time to time. The ultra left extremists can dish it out but are just immature cry babies when they get anything back.

You shouldn’t be so insecure about your politics. If you were, who cares what I say – but you know in your heart of hearts that your ultra left democratic centralism is just cretinism.
