Supporting Post Office Workers
By Steve Hanlon | October 3, 2009
After hearing about Cllr Bob Pendleton’s recent threat of expulsion following “personal attacks” on Rosie Cooper, I thought I would dig out the original article that led to complaints. The article was about supporting Post Office workers in their fight against privatisation.
Apparently the Party’s action was because of comments in an article printed in the Champion on 1st April 2009.
Because of the hysterical (and in many places, untrue) reporting by the Advertiser of Alan, Bob and Jude’s recent disciplinary actions, I thought it would be useful to see how bad it really was.
I reproduce the article here – I won’t comment specifically except to say two things:
- that I’m surprised that the criticism expressed should be considered as a nasty personal attack on the MP as suggested by the Advertiser, and
- that I’m glad that we have Labour Councillors who are willing to stand up against the privatisation of the Post Office.
