I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

A significant victory for PCS. Check-off was withdrawn 10 years ago by the Tory/Lib-Dem coalition government in an attempt to vindictively smash the largest Civil Service union for having the audacity to oppose austerity. Well done to reps and members for fighting back. ✊
PCS has today won a stunning victory in the Supreme Court against government departments that withdrew the check-off facility. The victory opens the door for the union to now claim substantial further damages
