Lou, "labor movement" is written in the *clear* and *perspicacious* manner:
by my lights you're not doing badly at all *here*, but frankly the "labour
movement"
uses Ehud's Dagger and perhaps there are too many liberal Royalists
and Liberal royalists for a Blakean mentality to carry every day.  The
book sounds
good, although it really is the case that Stan was in love with "Wendy"
and clarification
of context is sometimes necessary; casting the Greens as today's Marxist
alternative
does not (see below).
