Manchester Radical History -ryhmä avasi kesällä uuden (blogipohjaisen) sivustonsa http://radicalmanchester.wordpress.com/.
“Manchester Radical History Collective is a small group of politically
active people living in Manchester. We’re not affiliated to any single
movement or Party and have a range of views on major political issues of
the past, present and future.
We share an interest in the city’s radical and grassroots history – the local struggles and campaigns that have shaped the city of Manchester and the towns that make up Greater Manchester, and the people that live in them. And we’re inspired by the way that Manchester’s people have maintained a spirit of independence and resistance which has endured down the years.”
Kolme viimeisintä merkintää ovat:
- Len Johnson: Manchester boxer and Communist
- Mary Quaile: Trade Unionist and fighter for working women
- Paddy O’Donoghue: Head of the Irish Republican Army in Manchester 1919-1921, co-ordinating jail escapes and attacks on buildings
Merkinnät on varustettu sekä teemallisilla että alueellisilla (Manchester ja lähiympäristö) tageilla. Teematagien luettelo on jo tässä vaiheessa pitkä: Anti-Fascism, Anti-Nuclear, Anti-Racism, Minority Ethnic Rights, Co-operatives, Communism, Feminism, Irish Independence, Pacifism, Radical Education, South Africa, Spanish Civil War, Suffragettes & Suffragists, Trade unions, Unemployed Workers’ Movement, Workers’ Education, Workers’ Rights. Kaikki tekstit ovat toistaiseksi olleet yhteen henkilöön kiinnittyneitä.
Tätä viritystä kannattaa seurata. Lisään sen myös oikean reunan palkkiin kv.järjestöjen kohdalle.
