May Day is celebrated as Labour Day round the world and the Red Flag is the international emblem of Socialism.
My father was a lifelong socialist and my mother told me that she sat on the back of a lorry and sang this song in Wolverhampton before the Great War, when her uncle was a Labour councillor. It's in my genes.
The people's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our martyr'd dead
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts' blood dyed its ev'ry fold.
Then raise the scarlet standard high,
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
The hereios of the We're Here! group have paid a visit to the Say Mayday group today, at the suggestion of Mount Fuji Man.
