Just to echo the comments, thanks a lot for putting this up, I have a VHS copy and was going to upload but it was a great joy to find this, I remember working on this with Pete.

Hi Marian, thanks so much for putting this on U tube. I lost my last copy of this and was wondering how I could get a copy. Solidarity Forever!!!! Now Fight To Free Palestine! Thanks Marian.

Pete Bloomer! How great to hear from you. People before Profit is also on the channel - you did some of the recording for that. I have been working through the TURC archive since I retired. Recently did transcripts of the camera tapes for Youth Against Apartheid including Petrus and Salma interviews. I have been self shielding but went on a big Free Palestine demo in Brum in the summer.

And to think I was nervous about uploading it as I didn't have copyright!
