An interesting point made by Len:

Making accusations about the PCCC being set up my BA managers. No proof offered of this but he contradicts this claim by saying "we've been trying to find out who they are" and "we don't know who they are".

Presumably the reason for Unite/Bassa trying to find out who are involved with the PCCC is either;

a) Idle curiosity.
b) To offer congratulations on joining the Union faternity.
c) Complain to the world at large that its unfair that they should do this.
d) Advertise their names and details, which could lead to intimidation - for
which of course BASSA would not in any way be responsible for.

I do believe that they are being very sensible in the manner in which they have commenced to set up the PCCC, despite calls by a number of posters, some of which are clearly BASSA trolls on the other thread and who display a very aggressive motivation against them.

They have done extremely well, as the frustration exhibited by BASSA etc. show. There is no legal requirement yet for them to provide any personal details, and they are no doubt setting into place the security needed for their personal protection as normal working CC.

It is of course, alway possible for those demanding that the PCCC come forward, to offer to be the public face of the PCCC as the main contact point, (subject to checking and suitability), with the attendant publicity, personal details, and office open to all comers.

The position may need a car protection officer/driver though and personal ex Marine or two as helpers, plus of course family and home protection squad. If anyone feels that this would be a bit dramatic, consider the rhetoric of BASSA at the Bedfont meetings, never mind some of the statements made on the BASSA forum!

Once again, they're doing very well, leave them alone to get on with it.
