I appear to have upset someone
Oh dear, oh dear.. never mind he will get over it eventually.
Apparently this post has caused a most beloved comrade (here) to compare me to this.
He feels like he has been “Savaged by a dead sheep”?
Good to see Denis Healey being quoted approvingly I suppose.
anon so how would that be achieved when we (quite rightly imho) have reserved seats and fair representation in our Union? Do I oppose our Regional leadership because of their race? No. The attempt to equate such opposition to racism (inferred or direct in an earlier anon post possibly from yourself elsewhere)is shameful. What of other equalities groups such as LGBT or people with disabilties being reprenteted also? (But then I am probably more aware of the latter two and the issues they raise being both)
Anon who sent a comment at 13:52 today I have deleted your comment (reluctantly – I don’t like censoring) but don’t start guessing who made anon comments without any evidence. I don’t know but am pretty sure you are wrong in any case. You can resubmit the rest (factually incorrect UUL sour grape whining of course) if you want.
Hi John, I must say your looking well , Is that you on the right looking all sheepish.

Operation Icepick

Andrew is clearly welsh.
ReplyDeletewhy do they oppose the black leadership in the region
ReplyDeletei never really understood
because its not Trot ??
so much for trying to represent our black membership
they would prefer to have all white male middle aged as long as they could vote for strikes, label the leadership as sell outs and sell a few papers
weve had this Trot excuse for far to long
we need a representative leadership yes including Greens, Liberals, Labour, Communists and even yes evenTories and Trots
but they just want one shade of colour and one shade of politics
