Why did you link to a thread about bisexuality

I am not employed by VM. Unfortunately, due to reasons of corporate confidentiality, I am unable to elaborate any further.



I am not in a VM focus group, nor connected to the CWU. The last time I had any involvement with trade unions was a long time ago. It was at the TUC conference in Brighton when Tony Blair was prime minister and Gordon Brown the chancellor. I had a brief chat with Gordon Brown after his speech. In the evening, I attended a dinner organised by the PFA (followed by a free bar ) at which both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were present, but I didn't get chance to speak to them.

I spent much of the following day talking to the General Secretary of AMICUS (now part of Unite.) He was called Derek Simpson, he had a union credit card for expenses and went on to take part in a TV series following professionals at work (IIRC called "A Day In The Life Of") narrated by Adrian Chiles.

This was at the hotel where the IRA tried to blow up Margaret Thatcher, I can't remember it's name.

Would you like to see the CWU merged with Unite?

The Hotel was the Grand at Brighton - I was in the Victoria Bar when it went off, and we all came out covered in plaster.

We got off lightly.
