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 another thing...

Shortly after blogging the post immediately below, TIGMOO alerted me to this informative post on the ToUChstone blog - http://www.touchstoneblog.org.uk/2011/06/what-can-we-learn-from-european-public-service-mutuals/.



This useful summary of recent work on examples of mutualised delivery of public services elsewhere in Europe seems to underline the point that such "new models of service delivery" are best seen as possibly complementing public delivery of public services.
