RIP Clydeside’s Jimmy Reid – A Real Working Class Hero

RIP to Jimmy Reid the Clydeside Trade Union activists who died this week. He was an inspiring orator (something very much lacking in the last couple of decades via politics) – this speech delivered on his inauguration as rector of Glasgow University in 1972 was compared to the Gettysburg address… it has lost little of its relevance!    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/still-irresistible-a-workingclass-heros-finest-speech-2051285.html
