Still can't understand why there isn't a live link to conference (closed sessions accepted) where the members could watch the conference?
It is their Parliament.
This has been suggested for years. The TUC do it. All the political parties do it. Even the Tory government does it:mad:
If you want an engaged and active membership that will follow, give them the tools to do the job and they will do it!!

That would mean having to wear make up, and not nodding of through an important speech. Here is the choice Benito catching up with marcella, or corry, or watching the FBU conference. It's a tough one Benito.
