There was some support for the suggestion of a pre-RB award ballot against
staging in GMSC/GPC yesterday although some expressed the usual faint heart
views about "shooting the foot" and someone even declared his confidence
that Dobbo would not stage the award next year because of the recently
announced NHS largesse.
I had to intervene twice to make it clear that the intention was NOT to put
additional pessure on the RB but purely on Dobbo to make it crystal clear
that staging would be the trigger for sanctions not the size of the award.
The Chairman reminded faint-hearts (my term not his) that LMC Conference
had resolved to consider a ballot for sanctions if the award was staged.
History has led me not to trust GPC/GMSC about ballots and sanctions - and
Dobbo also knows their history and that is why the ballot must be held
BEFORE the award.
The campaign will continue.
