"Tolerance, Respect and Consensus" - Mike Duggan retires as General Secretary
|
In October 2018 Mike Duggan gave a passionate speech on the importance of "Tolerance, Respect and Consensus" in British politics. In his closing message at the 2018 AGM, he spoke of the need to remember these core values that should remain the hallmarks of democracy for Britain.
His comments marked the end of a ten year journey as General Secretary of the Civil Service Pensioners' Alliance (CSPA). Kevin Howlett said of Mike Duggan; "We have only known MIke for a couple of years, yet we feel a palpable sense of loss on his retirement. Although we will miss his him, we're also pleased to know that in addition to being an inspirational leader, he is also a music buff with great plans to finally sort out his vast music collection. We wish him well." |
