yes i remember the anti-nazi league, rock against racism and blair peach. i also remember 'the leveller' - a grainy but interesting left magazine at the time (not to be confused with an ex-poster on here) those days were the only time in my life when it has been trendy to be a lefty. i'm still a lefty but have never been trendy since. it's quite worrying to think how much time i now spend in the 70s and early 80s when music was good and society was fairer, people had decent houses and the politicians weren't all identical. i'm becoming a melancholic old bore - waiting for my grandkids to come along and ask 'and what did you do in the thatcher wars?' whatever i did then it has to be better than what we do now - waste time squabbling on the machine, signing sodding e-petitions and complaining about being let down by labour and the guardian

peace, love and revolution
