Someone's lying: I wonder who paid for the ticket?

General secretary of the National Distribution Union, Robert Reid, said he was behind Mr Williamson throughout the international in the VIP area

Indeed. Someone is telling porkies. No doubt a name will surface. But the question is why would a NDU Secretary need to be in the retinue of VIPs?

More to the point, who gave a unionist a VIP invite? And who paid for it? Or, as is more likely, was he 'entitled'?
