From today's funeral in Glasgow of trade unionist Jimmy Reid, who died on 10 August. Reid’s famous speech on becoming rector of Glasgow University, in which he told students to reject individualism, greed and the "rat race", was printed in full by the New York Times - a pdf version is available in booklet form, entitled Alienation [4.9 Mb].
What lovely video report and from Sky - He was a great example and steadfast to his own class. I'm surprised that there was no mention of Tony Benn, although he did pay public tribute to Reid.
All comments on Random Blowe are moderated and those that I consider to be downright abusive, wildly off-topic, misogynist, racist or homophobic will be removed.
You may comment anonymously but it would be far better to use a name, for ease of reference by other commenters.
