Re: [Marxism] Big Unions Save Blair on Iraq

Mr Blair, who paid a 30-minute visit to the Amicus delegation's hotel to
plead for unity, was present for much of the debate and yesterday's
closing rituals. He was roped in to help a steelworkers' choir to sing
Jerusalem, which followed the Red Flag. . . .

Poor William Blake must be spinning in his grave.


Jerusalem
by William Blake.

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.
