Reporting on the Class Struggle in Borsetshire
Kenton murders Eccles
Angus, a pub consultant, familiar so he claims with Shoreditch, has visited the Bull to advise on the way forward. He notes that the outside seating is covered in bird poo. Kenton suggests this is due to the Bull’s resident peacock, Eccles. Later driving to the cash and carry for supplies of tonic Kenton runs over and murders Eccles. He pleads with Alastair to say nothing but the Ambridge Socialist is not afraid to report the truth

Oliver promotes a moral economy
Inviting Clarrie and Eddie to a Christmas Day meal at Grey Gables (the first Christmas without Joe Grundy sadly) Oliver indicates to them that he is prepared to let them stay at Grange Farm for the foreseeable future. If Boris Johnson is looking for an example of one-nation Toryism (highly unlikely) he could do much worse than this application of the moral economy.
Joe Grundy remembered
On Sunday 29th December at 19.15 Radio 4 remembers the late Ted Kelsey (Joe Grundy) trade union activist and one of the early supporters of the Anti-Nazi League in the 1970s.
