Question Time is coming from Rugby this Thursday (May 31). “As soon as
they heard, members of the Rugby Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC)
applied for invites”, spokesperson Pete McLaren informed us.
“As Secretary, I asked for a group ticket for ten Rugby TUSC members
“Individual members of Rugby TUSC separately applied as members of
TUSC. In the event, so far, three
members of Rugby TUSC have been successful in their applications and will
definitely be in the audience, hoping to ask a question or to be consulted over
responses from the Panel. It is possible the BBC will contact additional
members tomorrow, the final day for informing applicants whether they have been
successful.
“The three TUSC members appearing on the programme are:
Dave Goodwin RMT Health & Safety Rep and TUSC candidate
in Hillmorton in 2011 and 2012
Ally MacGregor TUSC candidate in New Bilton 2012
Clive Dunkley TUSC agent and candidate in Brownsover 2011
“As Secretary, I am really proud that members of Rugby TUSC have been
invited to be in the Question Time audience – as members of TUSC. It is a recognition of what we have
achieved locally in just fifteen months, further evidence that we have
something to offer, that we have a very different message to that of the
establishment parties – a message that is increasingly being acknowledged and
accepted,” he concluded.
BBC Question Time is broadcast at 22.45 on Thursday
