So the plan to retrieve the Barkas is taking shape. After intensive discussion and negotiation amongst the trade unions and factory committees, a collective of three- five (to be confirmed) comrades are heading to London towards the end of next week to fulfil the heroic goal of the 5-day plan, namely bringing the Barkas back to Scotland.
The plan has been meticulously drawn up to the last detail by state experts, featuring the following elements:
1. Head to London via GNER (probably arriving five hours late owing to a faulty buffet car coffee machine short circuiting the entire East Coast line between Newcastle and Grantham- the problems and iniquities of hyper-capitalism)
2. Spend Friday and Saturday on "fraternal delegations" to, er, the National Gallery and "Fabric"
3. Minimise hangover on Sunday by intensive ingestion of energy drinks and a pre packed stash of Irn Bru. Pick up Barkas by 10am
4. Drive back up north with a sub-committee in the back responsible for in-Barkas people's entertainment (ingestion of Bollinger and absinthe, suspension-shaking dub reggae & drimnbass, 'convenience stop' somewhere around Nottingham if that proves to be too lethal a two-stroke alcoholic mixture)
5. Meanwhile the other sub-committee takes reponsibility for alcohol free delivery of the driving quota of the plan (Comrades Steeplejack and "Tatty" Taylor)
6. Arrive back in Dundee around 10pm.
My next entry, therefore, in about ten days time, will be a full Aktuelle Kamera two hour special covering the trip in detail. It will be my first substantial entry on this blog since the "Plastic Dart" exited stage left and, after that, we should be smoking away as normal on here. I'm hugely looking forward to it!
