Well Done Paul Embery! (May 10, 2023)
I've been very critical of the UCU (University and College Union) on the blog recently and here's more evidence that it's a Mickey Mouse organisation.
The union's general secretary (Jo Grady) has agreed to pay Paul Embery substantial damages and costs after making a fool of herself on social media.
The UCU is the union which failed to support one of its own members (Kathleen Stock) who was bullied and harassed by trans activists at Sussex University - in fact the union sided with the bullies and trans crazies.
Paul Embery (a former firefighter) is a trade unionist, writer and broadcaster - and is donating every penny of his damages to groups campaigning to protect women's sex-based rights and the integrity of women's sport.
Bravo, sir - well done!
UCU - A 'Mickey Mouse' Trade Union? (May 03, 2023)
If I remember correctly, the UCU union called for Edinburgh University to ban both planned screenings of Adult Human Female - a documentary film about women's rights and the importance of single sex spaces.
Now this speaks volumes about trade union attitudes to freedom of speech and their lack of support for members opposed to self-ID and gender ideology - who form the vast majority of the membership of course.
The union also took the side of an angry mob of trans activists instead of standing up for one of their own members, Kathleen Stock, who was on the receiving end of a vile campaign of harassment and intimidation at Sussex University.
Something of a Mickey Mouse union - if you ask me!
