Witch hunt fringe @ unison Conf

Apologies for not blogging yet - this is the first time I've had to myself all week!

The witch hunt fringe was the biggest fringe of the conference again this year with between 250- 300 people at the fringe to hear from Yunus Bakhsh, Caroline Bedale and Glenn Kelly.

All 3 got a warm welcome and the meeting was informed of the mornings events where a delegate from the west midlands, was banned from the conference floor and had he's delegate credentials removed because he had a t shirt that said "Yunus Bakhsh working class hero"

This was apparently offensive to some delegates.

People will be aware of the cases of those 3 but for updates see www.supportcarolinebedale.blogspot.com www.defendthefour.com

Yunus should be hearing from his tribunal soon and I will put those details on the blog.

We then marched following glenn yunus and caroline back to the conference hall chanting all the way and had a brief rally outside calling for an end to the witch hunts.
So there's a quick update for you.

Now back to the conf.
