Yes I am nearly at the end of my series of posts about Marxism 2014 (one more after this as an overall retrospective).
Given the necessity of stowing my more awkward baggage (I had nothing that was massively heavy) in the room set aside for such purposes, it was necessary that I set off early on this final morning so as to have time to do so. Therefore at 8:15 AM I said goodbye to the person who I had been staying with and set off on my travels.
Having made allowances for things to go wrong I arrived at the venue at 9:30, exactly as envisaged/ intended.
My last two regular meetings were Emma Davis on “The Russian Revolution and the fight for women’s liberation” and Kieran Allen from the Irish SWP on “Alternatives to capitalism”.
After lunch it was time for the final rally, expertly chaired by Emma Davis. We had someone from Gaza address us via skype, student activist Kate Hurford, Evronia Azer from Egypt and SWP national secretary Charlie Kimber to finish it off. I missed the tail-end of the final rally because I did not wish to stand all the way to Cambridge on the train home (my inevitable fate had I got on the 16:45), so ensured that I would get to King’s Cross in good time for the 15:45.
As always I have some excellent photos for you…
