I've been a member for years now, and try and have my say wherever possible. I'd love to get myself elected to their NEC one day, but can't see me having the time in the near future. Being part of a non-affiliated union tends not to help either.
Becoming a member of the Labour Party is always something I have intended to do, purely on a local level...Last time I seriously thought about was about 10 years ago, but the BNP were trying to sign me up...Nick Griffin would have loved me if his activists were to be believed, one mistake I was pleased not to make.
I honestly don't know if I would fit in in the Labour Party, I have my own opinions on different policies and not sure if they are compatible with Party...Guess I just have to have a good look through the Manifesto for the next General Election
I do come from a very Labour background, my nan was a parish councillor and my great granny was dedicated to Labour, she absolutely adored Arthur Scargill, bad mouth Scargill in her presence and you would know about it.
