Iam sorry to be talking in this manner like this about anyone but for some years now Mr Samson and I use the word Mr) loosely in this case has done nothing but hit at me on this forum .how dare he saY"i DO NOT SUPPORT THE PO WORKERS.I still hold my Army discharged book ,also my blue seaman Book showing the ships I have worked on over some years, and my union card I joined the union the very second day after coming out of the Army which I served for six years and that was in 1964 and stayed in the union right up till today and will die in the union When I went round most of the ship yards working in the UK you had to be in the union as a contractor and the years I was on the railways working on the PW and in the workshops I am a union man but not a militant one. Has Mr Samson ever been in a union or worked in ship yards or at sea? I very much doubt it, alot of his time was taken up by sitting on the D,D,C and the Kent C,C.which he pick up a very nice allowances .if YOU live in a greenhouse you should not throw stones.I do support the PO workers and feel
very sorry for them and what happen, but I also feel sorry for the personnel still working at PO and the fear of losing their jobs ,which as I said before will make even more unemployment in Dover.The town over many years have had a very hard time with the closure of the mines ,the Gas works .the paper mills. the Dover Engineering works and other companys even Parker pens and more. So Mr Samsom please stop it all now he is not the only one but I am now very fed up with it all apart from my years in the army and the times I have worked away from home in the UK and over seas I HAVE LIVED in Dover from 1942. End
