This comedy show gets better and better doesn't it ?
" 75% who attended and heard me speak",,,,Tracey conveniently leaves out the fact that it was only herself & supporters who were allowed to speak . Everyone else was requested to remain quiet .
She also conveniently leaves out the fact that she had brought a significant entourage along with her , so that when the plan they had cooked up to disregard the proxy voters kicked in , it would be 'job done'. She tried to go against the LAA Articles of Association ! i.e. Fiddle the vote ! Yet has the gall to write in her post that this is all about the way the LAA conducted itself.............Pinch yourselves in disbelief dear readers but ,I WAS THERE !
And Tracey's "unprecedented volume of proxy votes" ???? That is how democracy works Tracey . Those were the LAA members who thought you didn't and still don't merit the Bill Woodhams Award.
The rather laughable remarks about "people ringing around and encouraging others to vote against her" indicates people who really are clutching at straws.
As a Unilever shareholder , I was recently approached by a telephone lobbyist regarding a current corporate matter. Maybe Tracey & Co. need to wise up a bit to how things go on in the real world , and not in the bubble.
And for what it's worth . I have no need to do any lobbying or 'phoning around' . Tracey is doing an admirable job of that herself.
