When I was 16 I was a part time Vernons Football pools collector. Vernons also use to run a very poplar “Spot the Ball” competition.
Let’s now all play “Spot the Difference” between these two remarkably similar communications sent out by Hannah and Roger to various branches this month. Both of whom are Socialist Party England & Wales (aka SPEW) NEC members of UNISON.
Amazingly Hannah seems to think that Stockton branch is in North West region not Northern region. This will no doubt come as a bit of a shock to the branch!
I can only assume that the SPEW Executive Committee has decreed that all its democratic centralists must for some obscure dialectic reason believe that the Tees flows west into the sea. Winston Smith would understand.
Apart from this the similarities in these faux “personal” letters are striking. While I am sure that the forces of light and the reason in the union may well have been tempted down a similar path in the past. I am certain that there would have of course been good reasons in their case.
Now, of course a possible innocent explanation for all this could be a well known theory about certain advanced primates, typewriters and Shakespeare.
But... I better not go down that road.
For now (double click picture to bring up detail).
