Now -read the book!

Here is a link to my memoirs which, if you are a glutton for punishment, you can purchase online at https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/an-obscure-footnote-in-trade-union-history.
Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

And now for something completely different...

I didn't want to leave this blog a completely Olympic-free zone...

I see that Boris Johnson has promised a successful 2012 Olympics.

Surely though he could only personally help to deliver on that promise if there were
an important addition to the Olympics?

Boris certainly went down well with the international community this weekend. Not.

I am sure the Hotel workers he denied the minimum Wage to are really pleased

so much for Boris's committment to the poor

But being a millionaire Royal must make it hard to renage on his committment to support the London Minimum Wage for Hotel Workers during the Olympics
