What is WorkersPlaytime6-Dec83-Jan84 about?

Online archive of Workers’ Playtime, a more-or-less regular class struggle-oriented journal produced between Feb ’83 and May ’85. Workers' Playtime was written and edited by a small group of revolutionaries who had got together through the London Workers Group (LWG) in the early 1980s, although it never aimed to be the journal (theoretical or otherwise) of the LWG. It is of interest because it provides detailed analysis of some of the most important workers’ struggles which took place in the UK in this period – notably the miners’ strike (1984-85), but also strikes in the printing industry, the docks, oil rig construction, car factories, railways, hospitals, sewage works etc. The analysis is combined with an absurdist style of humour all its own, which the WP collective tried to develop as a kind of “trademark” of the journal. Don’t worry if you don’t think it’s funny! You’re not the only one. WP’s attempt to be the Private Eye of the ultra-left didn’t always meet with success... or even comprehension. Several of the articles were written as pure satire and not intended to be taken seriously, but some people did take them seriously and wrote outraged letters to the WP collective! T
