Was once part of a wildcat strike. Seven of us (out of 2000) walked out over an incident at another civil service Department. It wasn't supported by the union so was a bloody stupid thing to do really, especially as some people reported me for wandering around the building trying to drum up support. Spent the afternoon getting drunk, natch.

Viva! Viva! er, viva!

And within a few weeks of joining my current employers I was part of a union organised march over sackings at GCHQ that took place one weekday afternoon. All well and good, only I hadn't actually got round to joining the union at that time... Lucky not to get the elbow again.

Nowadays I spend more time complaining about tippy paving slabs than manning barricades over injustice and inequality though, which is shameful, though still wouldn't disobey an official strike call.

I do have a relevant story though! Once me and the lads were strolling about town (Northampton) round about election time in '01. It was a nice afternoon and we were enjoying ourselves and then out of nowhere up rolls this bus and none other than William Hague gets out and starts doing his 'campaign trail' malarkey and stands up and gives a speech about Europe or whatever single issue the Tories were riding on that year.

Being 18, angry and a Manics fan I firmly believed I was a Socialist. This led me to, when he fell silent between sentences to bellow (I was standing but a foot away from him) "FUCKING TORY CUNT" at the top of my voice... Hague continued unflinchingly, the crowd didn't look particularly impressed (even the chaps from the Socialist Worker paper standing next to me) and my friends seemed uneasy to be in my company. The wheels of democracy remained unaffected and Hague was duly crushed at the next election. Oh well...

Shame I did this, I actually quite like the chap these days... (although he's a Tory I'm always a sucker for a Front Bench politician with a sense of humour. See also Kenneth Clarke...)

Once was part of a group that stormed Lewisham council chamber to ensure they couldn't set the poll tax level. Naturally they just went to a different room to do so...
