Harry's Last Stand

This is an excerpt from the book that I am writing about Harry Leslie Smith, my father. It is about the last 10 years of his life as well as the cancer I was diagnosed with after he died.

The son of Harry Leslie Smith and keeper of his legacy talks about his cancer diagnosis, almost a year to the day of when his father died.

Epilogue to Harry's Leslie Smith's Podcast Harry's Last Stand. A summing up and perhaps a continuation.

In the snug of a pub while the storms of austerity batter Britain, I chat with you about the effects of poverty during the Great Depression when the Yuletide was a time of despair, for those struggling to stay alive in a world corrupted by greed.

Our world is much like the world of my youth;we are all working the coal face for pennies a day. Our wages are flat but our expenses are rising while hope for a better tomorrow is diminishing. Don't ever think Conservatives can save us from destitution because their ideology and greed is what is making us poor.
