Quotation of the Day for February 12, 2011



They're out there making history
In the Lenin Shipyards today
And here I am in the Hammersmith Hotel
Wishing the days away

- Billy Bragg, from his song Wishing The Days Away.

[The submitter notes: I was listening to an interview with a protestor in Cairo this week and this song popped into my head. Bragg is referring to the Solidarity strike at the Lenin Shipyards 30 years ago.]
