First off let me apologise to everyone for the two above posts I made last night that were subsequently edited.

 

They were edited because I broke a form rule, the one regarding "flaming" i.e. abuse and personal attacks.

 

I broke the rule by telling another member exactly what I thought of him, and I will endeavor to see that it does not happen again.

 

We still have Mr Branch Sec's thoughts though , that is that anyone who isn't a member of the GMB is a moron!

 

Given that the membership of the GMB is about 600,000 and the population of the UK is about 6.7 million a quick calculation will show that over 99% of the populace are morons, an interesting statistic isn't it?

dont worry about it Hopper. who knows how long he'll be around ?

he's no youngster and i'm sure it must be recognised with in the gmb by now that terry is an hindurance rather than a neccessary tool out in the provinces !

losing members rather than recruiting is what terry is doing on here and else where !

he is the best recruiting tool for other unions and associations out there with his personal attacks and lack of knowledge out side of London.

Listen i am an old style trade unionist, and regard anti union workers as morons!!!


You dont like that Hopper i dont give a fukk, every non union worker is a threat to the workers overall well being, your unable to see it, your problem !!!!!!!!!!!!!

You get a bottle on your head at christmas, dont ask us too help, you dont need any help.

THE ONLY GOOD SCAB IS A DEAD SCAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps its this bloody weather making me tetchy Tel, not like me to let you really wind me up 

 

Still love you    LOL

Hopper itake it all back you must be a bloody genius, keep the sense of humour and yes i was a trifle rude SORRY!

But when i read about the carnage out there. and the obvious [to me ] need of being organised, the old RED MIST comes down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL!!

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!!!!!! CHE, APOLOGISES TO HOPPER perhaps there is hope of wedding bells,shall i buy a new hat!!!!what ever you do dont play misty for terry,cos he, feeling blue or is it green, as he got yellow fever (normal service renewed tomorrow)

KEEP THE REPORTS OF INCIDENTS COMMING IN PLEASE

FELT THAT YOU NEEDED AN UP-DATE ON THIS POST/RECORD;the statistics comming in are truly astounding, for example in the last 2 months ie september / october taken from national reports.  3  killed.........16 seriously injured(most never returning to trade)  WHAT A TERRIBLE INDITMENT OF TODAYS YOBBISH CULTURE.

II need more details of robberies,racial abuse,from all sources.please help as this information is crucial to the success of the proposed press conference at the house of commons.

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/7131274.stm

Latest up-date. Attended a meeting with senior officers of the GMB yesterday regarding driver assaults.The meeting began with a jovial attitude until i produced the figures of assaults for all to see.The atmosphere changed dramatically,silence was deafening and all looked visibly moved by the harrowing stories beging to unfold before this group of hardened professional people ie barrister,national press officer and national political officer.T he meeting ended with a unanimous decision to undertake a national campaign of giagantic proportions including press conferences at the house of commons,a leaflet mail out , and involvement of members of parliment. ... WE have been asked to contact you all and request that the reports of assaults,are continued as so many of you have done THANK YOU keep them comming,and watch this space.Thr GMB pdb will not let this matter rest so if you wish to join us in this fight,consider membership...........regards . Don

I think I can speak for all the members here when I say a big thank you to Mr P for his initiative regarding this matter.


For to long has driver health and safety been ignored, hopefully this will bring the problems we face out into the open and we get the protection we are entitled to.


Keep the reports coming you guys!

So the big question IF we were to arrange a mass lobby of Parliament who will give an unequivocal commitment to be there?


UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED YOU FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Attended the meeting with the President yesterday and he is quite right in that the professionals who provide the back up in the union were shocked and once you begin to see what has been collected so far on paper it does make shocking reading.

There will be a great deal of work going on now to prepare leaflets, possibly petitions, arranging  meetings, preparing press statements and so on.

We have been asked if it is possible for us to contact any of the bereaved families of any of the nine murdered and/or a driver or ex driver who has been assaulted.

The reason being if we are going to be speaking to ministers and arranging meetings to try and get the publicity to make it known what is happening as widely as possible having the people hear it from those who have suffered directly is the most effective way of getting the message across.

The blood runs cold with fear at the very thought of having to possibly do this, the same fear we all experience on nights at the weekend and bank holidays wondering what the next pick up is going to bring.

But until we get those CCTV’s, screens, panic buttons, proper training and the like there will be no dramatic reduction in attacks like there has been in one town as the president explained at the meeting.

To get this implemented everywhere will mean a subsidy from the government to the licensing authorities to ensure that the poor sods who are living hand to mouth don't have to be exposed to unnecessary danger simply because they can’t afford the equipment or to go on the training.

It is time to put any silly differences we have had in the past to one side could anyone out there please help us with any leads

So you were with George W, were you?? Do you mean GMBPDB Branch president Don Glave??

You might think its a stupid question, but it wasnt clear who you were referring to [president]

So where have all the gobby gits gone??????????????????????????????

Lobby parliament, protect yourselves, not one volunteer, SNIVELLERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER GIVE THE MUGS AN EVEN BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
