SPREADING THE WORD......

Tonight back to The Crescent, one of my old haunts from Salford days, to a meeting of the Salford Left Forum, which was originally an offshoot of the Convention Of The Left and now doing very nicely in its own right as a meeting-point for young socialists (note lower case) . Obviously I do not qualify for the latter accolade but I was asked along to say a word or two about the LRC and why I think the Labour Party is still the place to be etc etc .
The meeting was a really interesting mix of socialists, anarchists, members of Young Labour and one or two people I remember from my days in Salford Labour Party. One young optimist described Hazel Blears as a "class warrior" - well, anything is possible in the current climate I suppose. But all in all a friendly evening and, because I am a little older than comrades who are no doubt still arguing the toss in the pub, I am too tired to comment any further and off to bed. Well done, Alex, get those LRC leaflets circulated lad........
