Our Remembrance

This is the abridged text of a speech given by Workers’ Liberty supporter Edward Maltby to an AWL forum entitled “Our Remembrance: a working-class history of war” at the University of London Union on Thursday 15 November 2012. The meeting was attended by over 100 people, stirred up by a controversy around Workers’ Liberty member and ULU Vice President Daniel Cooper’s refusal to take part in an official University of London Remembrance ceremony.
