My wife has just put this on

I said....

"That's cool!

Why you put that on?"

She said...

'I am still waiting for him to name a woman "
She has now put on "Tony Skinners lad"

I am weeping now!

Someone tell Tony's lad I would walk the land to draw him

Would use a 2 metre pencil so I don't get too close

Skinner reminds me of the people I grew up with

One guy in particular....a guy called John Hoey

1/2
John was a visionary working class welder who got blacklisted from ship building in the Clyde in the 60's and ended up in Livingston in the 70's

He was like a brother to my mum and dad ...helped them so much with their vision of community arts

Anyway.....
Best funeral I had ever been to was one John spoke at

It was of an old guy John had took under his wing and everyone loved

At the crematorium John gave a beautiful and funny speech

But out the corner of his eye he noticed the Minister look at his watch

......to be cont.
"Are we keeping you pal!"

said John to the Minister

Was one of the most beautiful moments of my life!

Class politics is everywhere!😊
John always walked straight into our house

He never knocked!!

And he never shut up!

He lived and breathed the politics of the Left

It was an honour to have known him https://twitter.com/CraigshillCC/status/1001916614252646401?s=19
