LTB:CWU Activity at the Labour Party Conference

Post by **POSTMAN** » 20 Sep 2007, 17:32

I am writing to advise you that the CWU will be involved a number of initiatives during the Labour Party Conference in Bournemouth next week.

Firstly, we shall be having a fringe meeting for delegates and visitors which will take place on:-

Monday 24th September between 6.00pm and 7.30pm in the Forestdale Suite, Wessex Hotel, West Cliff Road Bournemouth.

In addition we shall have a presence at the Conference everyday and will be leafleting outside the entrances to ensure that delegates are made aware of the latest developments in our dispute with Royal Mail. We shall be co-ordinating this activity through our Regional Secretaries but we would ask that Branches volunteer their services to assist us in our activities.

We would therefore require volunteers to have a presence and distribute leaflets on:-

Sunday Afternoon
Monday Lunchtime
Tuesday Lunchtime
Wednesday Lunchtime

Anyone wishing to volunteer on the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of Labour Party Conference would be asked to assemble at the Elstead Hotel at 11.00am. Further details will be available from your respective Regional Secretary and I would ask that in the first instance, you contact them.

Well the conference will be well and truly over with by the time our strikes start - we wouldn't want to embarass our Leaders - and of course they will be down there all week I assume - heaven forbid they would be at the helm - or is there a pub called The Helm down there.

What a waste of time! Just imagine it!

"Hello Mr Johnson, take this leaflet please. It explains the case for postal workers. See! It's got the CWU logo on the top of the page."

"Go away you communist agitator!"

"But Mr Johnson, you were our General Secretary!"

"No I wasn't! That Alan Johnson used to wear light coloured suits. I've got a dark blue one on. See? It's almost as dark as a coppers uniform"

"Well, take one and have a read anyway!"

"Security! This commie postman is bothering me! Security please!"

"Hello Mr Hayes, I'm one of your members! Here, take this leaflet and have a look!"

"Arr, ey la! I'm tryin' ter get well in fer a job off Gordon, an' dere's you puttin' de mockers on me! Go 'ead la! Do one!"

"But Mr Hayes, you're a Labour Party member, and I remember you fighting to save Copperas Hill when they tried to close it down."

"Nah! Dat wazzn't me lad! Yer must be thinkin' of some udder mush! I'm New Labour, me like! I know I've 'ad a bevvy like, but yer can't kid me la! Go 'ead before I get Pat O'Hara ter burst yer! Yer cheeky melt!"

"Mr Brown, please take this leaflet! It explains our case!"

"How much is it?"

"It's free!"

"I'll take two thousand! That will keep the delegates in paper aeroplanes when some communist gets up and bores them all to death with one of those speeches about school closures, pensioners dying because they can't afford heating or objecting to us being in some other country we have no right to be in."

Quote from Billy Hayes at the Labour Party 'Conference'.

He said: â€œWe know that the Liberals want to privatise Royal Mail, we know what the Tories would do to Royal Mail. When we look at our party we see the difference that a Labour government makes. "

I don't think he was being sarcastic.

Of course he wasn't! He's hoping for bigger things - bigger than the 46" waist trousers anyway.

The Tories and the Lib/Dems are perfectly up front - and the difference a Labour Government makes - well they sneak up from behind and it's wham bam thank you sir and madam I suppose but not as big a shock!

Well I must admit it has a certain ring to it - abbreviated it would be Laugh Hout Loud.

As for meeting in the pub - well I am TT - and I was trained to use the dark and stealth - not fair play.. more of an expect me when you don't see me member.
