Just a very quick post from the (free) trade union Community Internet stall, about to go to start of conference. First impression, the massive security presence is a bit of a shock. The Police have cordoned off a big chunk of the area around the conference centre. Even pubs have been shut down. No-one is allowed into this area without passes. I suppose this is necessary in this day and age but it is quite a contrast to UNISON conferences. Lots of armed Police and helicopters, even apparently a navy gun boat off shore!
I couldn't find the T&G Unite demo, but there was a colourful "lobby" by GMB over Remploy outside.
Up 7AM today for run along beach then delegation meeting (I am a UNISON Labour Link delegate for London) at 9.30am. I'll try and write something up on this, especially about the rule change. Future delegation meeting start at 7:30am!
