Okay, so let's begin this 'weblog' - I'm running this on Windows 75, which requires three steam operators who (I don't make the rules) must be members of the TGWU. I got three sacks of coal in for this, which ought to be enough for one blog post. It's all a little bit noisy.
It might be about four decades before I get started on this properly, mind. One hopes that, by then, the technology will be a little easier - also that the Reagan/Thatcher axis won't have been in the ascendancy, entrenching money and class privilege, hollowing out the state, and smashing the power of organised labour. Fingers crossed!
