No Bevvying
Jimmy Reid will be birlin' in his grave.
Apparently the anti-capitalist protestors in London - outside St Paul's Cathedral - are arguing amongst themselves about the 'no alcohol' rule.
According to press reports, the protestors took a democratic decision to ban bevvy from their camp - but this has not gone down a storm with everyone.
Some of the occupiers feel it's one establishment replacing another - and just who do these people think they are - laying down rules for other free spirits.
Now in the days of the UCS work-in - Jimmy Reid and his fellow shop stewards didn't go in for all this namby pamby voting business - they knew the world was watching and they laid it on the line.
'There will be no bevvying' - Reid declared in his famous speech to the assembled workforce - no one dared question his authority because they knew what he was saying was right.
The Occupy London protestors should take a leaf out of Jimmy Reid's book.
Because who will take you seriously if the St Paul's camp is just an excuse for a drunken party or two - especially at weekends.
Grow up and get real.
