The brick wall at 0.19, I am not sure where this is but, my mother remembered one just like this in the suburbs of South East London. It seperated the council estate from the nearby private houses, keeping the people segregated. When I was a child back in the 70's I found it difficult to believe when she told me of this.
I included Jimmy Reid because the things he stood for are directly relevant to the theme of ordinary people struggling for a better life.
(The speech he delivered when he was made rector of Glasgow University in 1972 can be found at independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/still-irresistible-a-workingclass-heros-finest-speech-2051285.html )
It is also the case that the struggle for workers rights has always been international, not sectarian!
