“There’s a movement over here called ACORN… People have faced 15-20 years of having to share their homes with strangers. People don't want to live like that any more.” - Mick Lynch, General Secretary of the @RMTunion👊

I have found this frankly wonderful archive of a Northern Ireland primary #school disco in the 1960s while working on a report and it might be the best thing I’ve ever seen.
