Now -read the book!

Here is a link to my memoirs which, if you are a glutton for punishment, you can purchase online at https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/an-obscure-footnote-in-trade-union-history.
Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

Bloggers anonymous...?

I blog in order to share my views and to let people know what I am doing. It’s part of accountability.
I have little admiration for those who cloak the expression of their views in anonymity.
Since the last General Secretary election we have been blessed with the online presence of a normally anonymous blog set up as a fan site for Dave Prentis (which sometimes carries some useful content).
Now the internet has spawned an equally anonymous blog set up to berate the incumbent UNISON General Secretary and his supporters.
There is something desperately unhealthy about not putting ones name to ones views and politics.

If someone expresses their views anonymously the best place to file those views is the wastepaper bin.
