WORKER BEES

Three quick links: the first (via Snowball) is the modern interpretation above of Cruickshank's British Beehive, just so you know where you stand in the order of things. The second (also via Snowball) leads to two excerpts by Paul Foot which discuss the history of unemployment in the twentieth century, and the political elite's unctuous efforts to curb it. The third is K-Punk's review of the Birkbeck Communism Conference (with Youtube clips), which apparently was so popular that the venue had to be changed at the last minute to accommodate everyone.
