Jimmy Reid came from nothing and ended up respected by everyone no matter what side of politics they were on. He understood the dignity of labour and what a job meant to the social fabric of the area. A hero of mine despite having completely opposite politics.

'dignity of Labour' and the 'social fabric' - not concepts/concerns I'd associate with Margaret Thatcher and the Tories.

If you understand the “dignity of labour” and the importance of employment, how can your politics be the opposite of his? How on earth can he be your “hero” if you directly disagree with his politics??

I knew nothing of him prior to him being featured as part of Andrew Marr's History of Modern Britain series a couple of years back. That and his prominence in the BBCs recent: "something that belongs to all of us" promo campaign. Time to find out more I think!
