Now -read the book!

Here is a link to my memoirs which, if you are a glutton for punishment, you can purchase online at https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/an-obscure-footnote-in-trade-union-history.
Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

Institute for Stating the Obvious

Breaking news! Cutbacks are biting in the public sector and our managers are seriously worried about the scale of further cuts to come. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8523144.stm)



What a good job we have a high powered Institute (of Leadership and Management no less) to find this out for us (http://www.i-l-m.com/research-and-comment/7750.aspx) - though I seem to remember reading about this regularly on our Unison website for months now.



Still at least this research wasn't launched at an expensive lunch! No, there was a "breakfast briefing" with a "high-level panel debate" with a "select group of senior public leaders."
