Grow up please, I was a founder member of the campaign.
Everyone in Britain has the right to belong to a trade union thanks to the sacrifces my colleagues and I made, not that any of you would be interested in what we went through. I tired of gobby dope heads back then as I do now, who inbetween gulps preach peace,but are too cowardly to fight for freedom and democracy. The one thing we can be very proud of here in the UK is we do have freedom of speech, there is no political correctness just good manners.
What a shame though that we have to teach folk manners.
Everyone is special has a contribution to make but Thatcher decided (with her co horts) that greed is good, destroyed home grown industries including a non political civil service, to try to grow an offshore banking haven - oh whoops aren’t we paying for it now. It is this current Government - love or hate them that inherited all that shit and I stopped voting after 1984 after what I saw down in westminster. This month I will break that and vote again.

“I was always lukewarm about this issue.

What about the ‘human rights’ of all the people GCHQ workers spied on all those years? Should such characters ever be accepted into the bosom of the trades union movement anyway?”

excuse me but are you lacking common sense or something? if someone didnt spy on them, then you’d probably be dead by now as most of the people spied on are terrorists
