A group of working men met for tea and formed the beginnings of the TUC.
Marx gave a speech.
It was duly noted in the records for posterity's keep.
The record lay neglected for 70 years or more.
Until one day a Russian learnt of its existence.
When he got home he wrote a letter saying that the Russians must have it.
He stamped it with hammer and sickle and sent it to Churchill.
Churchill locked it in the bank's safe, incase of cold war.
Until one day a labour peer petitioned for its release.
Now its at home in the archives of the institute.
A bit of history with notes on who had tea.
Little to import but what a journey.
