DAVE WARD CBE

Post by SkiSunday »

So our dear leader... Dave Ward CBE, has accepted the honour of being awarded a CBE - Commander of the order of the British Empire from the King, for what exactly?

CBE. A conspicuous leading role in regional relations through achievement or service to the community

Can anyone point out what part of this is true? Other than accepting a CBE lol

Its f***ing grim. No self respecting socialist should be accepting an imperial title. Lost all respect for him on this one.

Again with this Ren? Why would anyone assume that a union leader would be a self-respecting socialist?

Dave Ward isn't anywhere near as good as Sharon Graham.

One is defeatist, lacks teeth and defends or "sells" deals that fall way short of their own members expectations while the other is no nonsense, hardline on negotiations and prioritises workplace disputes and pay battles over any political alliances. What this CWU desperately needs is someone who will put industrial strength first and stop acting like an extension of RM's PR department.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

I would at the very least expect a soft grey shade of Fabianism.
The machine stops.

Pffft really? The BMA/resident doctors are a good example of why that is just dreamy thinking.
