I was present at Jimmy Reid's famous 'Rat Race' speech at Glasgow University and had the privilege to shake his hand on a later occasion. A beacon of principle in an age of political pygmies and toerags. Thanks, Jimmy.

A Nice tribute to Jimmy. A true son of Clydebank and servant of the trade union movement in Scotland and beyond. Proudly remembered
