SPGB Meetings (1982)

Party News from the September 1982 issue of the Socialist Standard

Blogger's Note:

On the subject of Robert Barltrop and the Cockney language (see the West London branch meeting), Barltrop and Jim Wolveridge wrote a book entitled The Muvver Tongue, which was published by the Journeyman Press in 1980. Barltrop was considered a bit of an expert on the subject.

Here's footage of him speaking on the subject back in 1988. (He appears 2 minutes 43 seconds in.)
