Come off it Blu Riband
I am a member of Balpa which IS an association, and a member of the TUC.

I do not consider myself a trades unionist, and nor, I believe, do the vast majority of my colleagues.
At least the British Dental
Association recognises it is a union and says so.
However, I understand that the acronym BALPU
would not sound quite right when used on the radio or television.
