Something appears to be wrong with the library filing system above. I clicked on first Workers' Dreadnought, then Winstanley, then Situationist International. Each time it took me to a Whoops page?
OK, tried the other method suggested and that works fine.
Reading of the enclosures by the landed gentry of Gerrard's days brings to mind a defeat we faced recently near my locality. A bourgie property developer named H. P. purchased a mill house on the edge of a lake that once powered the mill. Soon after the purchase, said P. fenced off a footpath that local people claim has been in use for one hundred years or more and that I have enjoyed for 30. Walkers protested and managed to get an inquiry set up, which lead to the footpath being reinstated. P. then bided his time, spent untold capital on sweetening up residents near by with "improvements", including making an alternative footpath via a meadow, probably greasing some palms in officialdom. He then took it further up the greasy pole to the Planning Inspectorate. The fucking toffy nosed bastard then got 30 of his rich friends (money has lots of friends, the poor have few) to back up his property interests. Only two stalwart objectors perservered to this point.
The cost to the taxpayer must be in excess of... god knows, but a lot. He portrays the house as a residence but I've seen no sign of him, just poor peasants slaving away cutting his blessed 100 ft laurel bush with secateurs. Judging by the nature of his business, the property will now be sold off at a great rate of valorisation.
Read all about it! But don't, it is too depressing for words. If we ever rise again, we better make it stick this time.

On old Libcom there was a library and also history sections and now there isn’t. I think?
