The Ambridge Socialist
VE Day Edition 8-10th May
The Ambridge Socialist celebrates VE Day: nationalise the land!

With the BBC not currently broadcasting regular updates from Ambridge news of VE Day celebrations in the village may be hard to come by.
We understand that the usual ruling class sycophants like Justin Elliott and Brian Aldridge were out waving Union Jacks and claiming that we are all in it together.
75 years on though the Ambridge Socialist is still winning the peace. We celebrated on the Village Green with glasses of Tumble Tussocks and red flags flying. The defeat of fascism and the foundation of a then fully funded NHS are worth marking.
However we are still demanding the nationalisation of the land, a long standing labour movement demand that was not acted on in 1945. It’s time to expropriate the estates of the Archers and the Aldridges and turn them over to common use under the stewardship of the Grundys.
Bunting crisis for Sgt Knacker Burns
Official VE Days demand union jack bunting and Ambridge has a long term crime problem with bunting theft. Its time for Knacker Burns to take decisive action. No bunting has been reported stolen on VE day. So far.
This week’s Ambridge Socialist poll. Ambridge Socialist reporters have been investigating the past activities of Philip Moss. The bunting theft took place well before he officially appeared in the village but now we ask: Was Philip Moss behind the Ambridge bunting theft?
We Salute Joe Grundy, the Cider Club and craft Tumble Tussocks cider
On 7th May the BBC repeated the official Ambridge wake for Joe Grundy. The report is below
The BBC reported in November 2019
After being part of the annual opening of the Cider Club at Grange Farm, Joe died peacefully in his sleep in October 2019. After the funeral, attended by most of the village, a wake was held at the Tearoom and later members of the Cider Club retired to the Bull to toast Joe with a glass of Tumble Tussock. The Grundys have done Joe proud.
Archers Anarchists Victory in Ambridge quiz 8th May
Another Friday quiz from our co-thinkers at Archers Anarchists. Hopefully this recent tradition will continue. Many of the questions are interestingly obscure, if not usually political.
