I am sowly blitzing the house, throwing some things out, putting others in the loft (just to prove that men do have a use - grin), and finding a 'proper place' for yet more.
This evening I piled a pull of stuff out of the filing cabinet. Most of it to be put in an orange bag next to the green bin, some of it to be transported to work and put in Confidential Waste, and among the rest, a couple of gems.
The Labour Party Song Sheet, with The Red Flag taking pride of place, followed by The Internationale, Jerusalem, We Shall Overcome etc etc.
And, a total find, my 1995 Labour Party Membership card. And what does it say on the back?
To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry or service
Pure poetry!
