I will be donating some history books to wltuc that were my late father's (he taught history to 6th formers in Manchester).

Thanks for the invite and the great books via BookMooch! I will definitely have to check it out. I am doing a Politics, Philosophy and History course at Birkbeck and love finding books on labour, trade union history and politics!
Cheers,

you have caught up with my other life! The project looks exciting and I see we are both members of the radical history group as well as some others. I hadn't noticed the revolutionary left group before but see it has a strong libertarian influence.
My back ground on the left is both Marxist(ex member of the communist party) and Quaker and even now in a Trade Union. Deeply involved in social policy now based on political values but rarely formal politics. Hence tend to favour a strong central authority in the state or in the organisation but with the correct democratic counterbalances in either form. Agree with Marx that liberals tend to leave democracy at the work door but don't agree with him that the solution is in abolishing the market(we know where that leads!)but in extending and widening democratic involvement within the political and and economic spheres. Needless to say these points need several days and pints to clarify!
Can't find him for the moment but I have come across a member who collects left wing books who would be interesting to link up with. Not sure if he was UK based. I am in London for meetings and work fairly regularly, In fact on the way there now for a two day team meeting and a stop over. If anything happening tonight, then email me on john.alwyine-mosely@4children.org.uk.
regards John
