In 1920, in the Cammell, Laird & Co. shipyard in Birkenhead, a ship was built that would change the shipbuilding industry and shipyards forever. ss Fullagar was the world's first fully welded ocean-going ship. For generations, ships' iron and steel hulls had been held together with rivets, put in place by specialist teams of riveters. In 1920 electric arc-welding was not a new technology but hitherto had only been used for repair, rather than construction. Fullagar changed that forever, though the technology was adopted slowly. No longer would vast teams of highly skilled and well-paid riveters populate the dockyards. This was a moment when technology took away the livelihood of thousands and changed forever the techniques of shipbuilding and the culture of the shipyards. To find out more Dr Sam Willis spoke with Max Wilson, head archivist of Lloyd's Register, the maritime classification society that surveyed and classed Fuallager, overseeing this novel design and pivotal moment in maritime history.

Audio version of the pamphlet. More here: https://workersliberty.org/laird-occupation In 1984 workers at the Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead occupied their workplace in defence of jobs. The occupation and the strike which preceded it lasted just over three months, and then on 3 October the occupiers were arrested. 37 of them were found guilty of contempt of court and jailed. There is a campaign to lift the convictions. Workers' Liberty has published this pamphlet so that we can remember those who took risks to fight to save not just their jobs but the jobs of future generations.

Here's a rare opportunity for you - a chance to sit in on a conversation between me and my therapist Amadis Cammell where we discuss absent fathers (his was cult film director Donald Cammell, creator of my favourite film of all time, the proto-gangster movie Performance, starring Mick Jagger) spirituality, ancestry, music, rock and roll, beatniks, mythology and dance. What more could you ask for?Amadis is a very cultured, eloquent, deep and fascinating man who solved the problem for me of who I could possibly turn to for guidance having myself been a therapist for over two decades at that time.Like myself his approach is unconventional, as is his heritage and his way of looking at the world as you might expect from someone from such bohemian roots and it was a huge pleasure for me to spend an afternoon bouncing ideas around and finding out more about the man to whom I regularly entrust my spiritual and psychological wellbeing.Enjoy... https://inspiritway.com/therapyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_(film)Title track composed by Jerry Hyde and Nick Van Gelder, produced by Nick Van Gelder, keyboards by Kenny Dickenson, brass by Noel Langley, vocals by Sian O'Gorman.

Episode Four features Associate Professor Jennifer Frost, a women's historian, Katie Cammell, and Louise Ryan from the University of Auckland discussing what it means to celebrate International Women's Day (IWD). This day was set with certain, quite progressive, ideals for its time, aiming for equality and peace for all women. Over time this has progressed to equality and peace for all, irrespective of gender, race, and social standing. Despite these founding ideals, many controversies have arisen over the commercialisation of feminism, and the "colonial mindset" that is still prevalent in today's society. Discussions also took place around whether IWD is worthwhile considering that many people only think about these ideals on one day a year rather than every day of the year.

David: An art movie, a drug movie, Nicolas Roeg’s directing debut, a Mick Jagger acting debut, a late, post-swinging 60′s bohemian manifesto, but underpinning all that one of the best British gangster flicks around. It features a foulmouthed, thuggish, head kicking turn by the erstwhile toffee nosed James Fox as bovver-boy Chas, who comes in for some heavy deconstruction when, finding himself on the run, he chooses the dark cave of a retired rock-star recluse to lay low in. Not an atom of machismo survives. Add mushrooms and flip genre. Tasty.Jules: The reality-distortion of fame, and its possible relation to the shamanic undercurrents of consensus reality, seem to intersect in this glimpse inside British counterculture. Cammell and Roeg expertly oversee the somehow-mythic triumvirate of Fox, Jagger, and Pallenberg in this postmodern Greek tragedy where normalised sociopathy substitutes for humanistic virtue. overlookedpictures.com

Although, I say it with a mad, hallucinated grin. Once I thought that to be human was the highest aim a man could have , but now I have nothing to do with the creaking machinery of humanity, I belong to my madness, my excrement, my ecstasy, to the great circuit which flows through the subterranean vaults of the flesh. A man who belongs to this race must stand up on a high place with gibberish in his mouth and rip out his entrails. One has to earn death with all one’s appetites, refuse no poison, reject no experience however degrading or sordid. One has to come to the end of one’s forces, learn that one is a slave - in whatever realm - in order to desire emancipation. And anything that falls short of this frightening spectacle, anything less shuddering, less terrifying, less mad, less intoxicated, less contaminating, is not art. You put on a bishop’s robe and miter, he pondered, and walk around in that, and people bow, genuflect and like that, try to kiss your ring, if not your ass, and pretty soon you’re a bishop. So to speak. What is identity? He asked himself. Where does the act end. The identity of the purveyors of the poisons concocted of brain-destructive filth shot daily, taken orally daily, smoked daily by several million men and women-or rather, that were once men and women- is gradually being unraveled. The rest is counterfeit. The rest is human. The rest belongs to life and lifelessness. The benevolent pride of the genius lies in his will which must be broken. The secret to deliverance lies in the practice of charity. the Impostor
