The Working Men's Club, a co-op, not run for profit, member-owned, self-governing. voice-verified

A social institution with cheap pints, cheap pints, because it's not being run for profit, and all the profits go back into the club, but also a space for the families, obviously the miners or the steel workers, mutual aid, a health care, education, political association, like a working men's club. voice-verified

Now the workers have access to showers and cleanliness, and so do their kids and their wives Ah fuck this lad this lad's after breaking his hand while he was making a bicycle and now he can't work. voice-verified

Okay. voice-verified
