This kind of behaviour doesn't sit well with me.

Trots up to their old tricks, they used the former CPSA, now the PCS, as a training ground. Obviously they are not yet as powerful as they want to be since they have reduced the threshold for triggering a selection process. Be assured once they are in control they will raise it again.

Why do I make this prediction? Because they changed CPSA conference rules for triggering a card vote from 25 delegates up to fifty, so as to make it more difficult for the union right wing (mainstream Labour not EDL) to institute the same.

Hmmm... many years ago, 15 perhaps,  I used to belong to the mapperley branch mentioned (long since lapsed as a member), back then there were a number of activist who were what I would term as hard left. The difficulty I had and have with them is, that like the odd poster on here, there is no room for shades of grey. I find that both intensely irritating and profoundly depressing.
