Maydaze Madness!


Sunday, 6 May .... Fresh, well not fresh really, but last flight back to Glasgow the previous evening (don't you just hate airports??!!) was delayed and I was home very late on a Saturday night ....

Along to George Square for our annual May Day march and rally .... Of course, yet again, we couldn't locate the NUJ Scotland banner (it's a saga we soon hope to resolve with the commission of a brand new banner, much along the lines of our Welsh colleagues) .... and the rain was threatening to spoil the day ....

However, thanks to a switch to the City Halls and Old Fruitmarket, we managed to avoid the raid and enjoyed a trade union festival of music and dance .... Highlight was dancing with Paul Holleran to Eddi Reader (I know, not a good visual at all)

.... Most of those on the left of the TU movement were left licking their wounds after being wiped out at the Scottish Parliamentary elections ....
