Yes probably, but my memory holds it as all of a piece, know what I mean? In the late 60s early 70s I had to join and become a shop steward because of the Labour government's undermining and running down of the NHS, where I was first a student then Registered Nurse.
It feels as if the women's revolutionary movement moved into the NHS more or less at the same time, and all of the women I knew were so ready for it! That's partly because as a professional group, nurses had been downtrodden and penalised for the whole of our history. See the merging of action and philososphy, for different yet identical reasons. I loved it Dana, just as you do. It was without doubt the most important and exciting period of my life and we burned with fervour and were driven by passion for the truth. Our truth. By 1996/1997 I was preparing to run for parliament in a safe seat, boundaried by Joan Ruddock's constituency in Deptford when my first brush with cancer put paid to it, otherwise - heaven protect us - I would have been one of 'Blair's Babes' !!! Come the revolution... ![]()

PS And whatever you do, keep checking. Yourself and your close ones. Don't be complacent about the tiny changes, small lumps and bumps. Oh yes, FUCK CANCER!
