Did anyone go to this?

Any thoughts from people aware of the meeting/groups involved?

Nobody? wow ok. A gathering of leftist groups in London and nobody on Revleft has shit to say about it. Really?

Duh.

I honestly didn't hear anything about it, however.

I've been way too skint to make it out of Birmingham for the last year or so (used to make down to london once every month or so) and considering its the second biggest city in the country its amazing how little happens in Brum!

I live in London but didn't know about it, probably because you guys are the only radical lefties in my life. :wub:

I'm not in London at the moment so can't fully speak on this, but this is the first I've heard of it. Noone I know went and I never saw any mention of it on my facebook/twitter (normally a good reflection of what, positive or negative, is going on). My guess is it just wasn't a very big deal.

Hmm. 1,000 people turned up to the first one, and a few hundred to the next one a few days later, from a variety of orgs/campaigns.

I think a problem is that it's a little London-centric at the moment.
