Jinky’s Chinwag – Bruce Findlay
I only just got round to listening to this last night (listened to the podcast rather than watching the YouTube video). It’s 2 hours long and I started listening to it late last night.

The prints are of stunning…
Jim (and Charlie – for a little bit) Speaks!
Talking about political activism in the 1980s and the Minds part in it. This…washing away of its relevance now. “It’s all been said.” That may be so, Jim. But…no one’s learning!
