So why so why do a diary? Simple, to remember and describe events as saw and experienced them. More of a chronicle.

Lambeth Diaries
Lambeth Council under the new administration of Joan Twelves and Greg Tucker (from the RMT) wanted to take the government on. This was of course an impossible task but the idea of rebellion appealed to a 20 something man who came from the dark corners of the civil service where nepotism ruled the waves. The vampire government of Thatcher wanted to make an example. So Joan Twelves who took over from D Serabji and before that the great Linda Bellos (she was very misunderstood) was ready for battle. So they broght Reg Race to do a report to change the culture etc and of course make changes which would see the deletion of many jobs. NALGO had to organise and fight..

Lambeth Diaries
The government was obsessed with destroying the rebels in Lambeth and the vampire from up north (Thatcher) came up with new ideas and new ways. In the mean time the people who worked there providing vital services kept loosing their jobs. I could not honour the promise I made to myself and my partner to keep out so I accepted the position of Shop Steward for NALGO a Trades union with great values and forward thinking, or that's how it looked like on the outside. I just hated seeing injustice and thought that if I took a low level job I might be able to help without getting too deep into the shit...
