I was having a conversation with a number of friends, Lambeth Unison activists, who were questioning the wisdom of us putting too much energy into the debate as to whether Dave Prentis should be supported on not by the branch. The decision of course will be made at the branch committee next Tuesday. I think it is fair to say that there is very low interest in this subject right now as most Lambeth activists are turning their attention to the cuts that are just around the corner. I argued, again, that we should have proposed a different solution to the current problem and gone for a younger and newish figure, a woman would have been preferable but if not then someone under 30 at least. One bright spark said that was ageist but I strongly disagree with that. There is little chance of Holmes wining or Roger of the Bannisters so a younger activist who would have made his or her mark in these elections would have been the right choice. Everyone would remember them next time. But of course we have to think inside the box and throw any forward planning out of the window!
why dont you just get it over and done with with that James Caspinal guy, anyone would think you were after him - we get the point that you were suggesting him as GS candidate and no one listened to your ''wise'' words- now can we move on and let that be in the past ...

ReplyDeleteI know who you are and of course you know how to spell the name right so mispelling it as you have on your comment will not prove that you are not who I know you are. Why don't you have the guts to say who you are? The reality is that the 'older' alternatives (and I named two by the way) will not ever win and after they lose they will never be seen or heard...
