It's November 15th, so we just wanted to say 'happy birthday' to this Welshman named 'Nye', as he was often known, was a big-time socialist back in the middle of the last century.

It's the 4th of November, 1839. The last against authority in Britain is about to take place... A year earlier, a had come forward demanding the vote for every man in Britain.

It's been a lot of fun building up the Radical Tea Towel Company over the years. But what are we for, why do we keep going, and how does it relate to something German writer Bertolt Brecht said about 'political illiterates'?

I've always loved America. I don't know if it was because I watched a lot of the Simpsons on TV as a kid. Or that Indiana Jones was just as much of a hero for this British boy as James Bond ever was.
