"Jim, please don't lecture me,"
Wouldn't dream of it Ake - I'm responding to what you said, not what you used to be
Please don't describe Anti Apartheid, Anti-Bomb, Anti-Thatcher as "totalitarianism" - it's not nice, nor is it accurate
The young people I knew took to the streets in their hundreds of thousands in support of such causes - and Travellers, and the Miners, and against the Greek Royals' visit to London, and the massacres in Chile - I was scared shitless standing next to Peggy in Grosvenor Square on the historic day that helped drive the Yanks out of Vietnam - a proud moment for me
The thing I remember was how many of them jammed into The Singers Club later to laisten to Ewan and Peggy sing - on that and many other memorable occasions when we managed to "Overcome"
Still got the segs on the soles of my feet from Aldermaston, Faslane and South Wales
Extremism - how dare you !
