And so the impression of an organised conspiracy was created. The reality couldn't have been further from this picture. I was held in solitary confinement as I refused to work or wear clothes. The prison governor, a former bricklayer who retired from the trade after developing arthritis in his hands, took pity and handed me a copy of Robert Tressell's The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists – a book that remains the building worker's bible.

I've just finished reading that book for the second time.
