Happy International Labour day!
Sadly my deadlines are pretty damn close so I wasn't able to attend a demonstration though I did manage to squeeze in time to watch this reminder of why Trade Unions and the Labour movement are important.
Its funny how corruption and the interests of the rich seem to run contrary to the interests of the people and the nation as a whole.They also seem to be based on the smashing of the grass roots opposition all under a veneer of "legality" but then I guess it really is a funny old world we live in.
