(Ben Posting, btw) I read this last week, from the LRB online-archives **1**, and---- just to check any potential confusion--- am just sharing it to UCL members and supporters, because there is evidently a case for the argument that it will likely be of interest, be inspirational, or be of some kind of utility, to many if not all of you. (ah! How I hope Im not effectively condemning myself, here, to conspicuously coming across as having just got egg all over my face! Hope not!)... However, the reasons do not end with that on! oh no! For, in addition, I suppose I am also just *putting it out there* to start some conversations and trains-of-thought, about just what kind of eclectic, exciting, oft quite class conscious, firmly folky cultural events our branch could perhaps---one day--put on. (And, of course, Hamish Henderson, and all the subjects and themes that he touched and is therefore associated with, though in himself and in themselves, is, and are, NOTHING BUT TOWERING, is the veritable droplet in the ocean when compared with all the other contenders for same, which that endlessly wide thing, the universe, obviously offers up. ) Lastly, as well as this, it surely stands to reason, that, if a few people in this great labour movement of ours, *can* be inspired a little by people like Hamish Henderson, and that this can be sometimes perceived by anyone working/campaigns alongside them, too, then surely that would constitute a bonafide boon, not just for each individual involved, but for our branch as a whole (if not certain sections of the labor movement *beyond our brilliant branchs ---porous< I assure you; **2** ---walls. **1** for the record, ..for me, it seems.. why!, *everyone* should subscribe, to gain full-access to them! Its quite cheap to do so!(avuncular wink).. **2** i.e utterly devoid of any kind of spiriting-crushing, choking Stalinist rigidity
