Sir - So there I am, sipping my coffee and browsing through The Oxford Times (August 3) when - shazzam! - I'm instantly transported back to the 1970s.
The strains of The Carpenters' It's Yesterday Once More drift through the window, and, hey, wasn't that a vinyl-roofed, mustard-yellow Austin Allegro that just crawled by?
The cause of this weird hallucination? I've just read an article reporting that Dave Spart/Stuart Craft of the Independent Working Class Association wants city councillors to show solidarity with the glorious struggle presently being waged by shop steward Fred Kite/Bob Cullen of the Oxford CWU on behalf of the downtrodden proletariat.
Do you think someone should tell Spart and Kite that it's 2007? The general public has no time either for endless disruption of their postal service or for silly gesture politics by Trotskyists.
