This is Keir, the Campaign Bear. He was given to me by my two oldest nephews. With his striking red wool and a bag obviously meant for carrying leaflets (been there), I decided this was clearly a campaign bear and named him after the pioneering Scottish socialist Keir Hardie, who was born very close to my own home town.
