Oh for fucks sake! Same day as the A-F meeting.
Annoying!

How'd the rally go?
I unfortunately missed it.

Pretty well.
The organisers claimed 12 thou, which was obviously over the top, but 6-8 is reasonable. It was also over by around midday, and the politics weren't too sharp, but what do you expect from Sussex St?

The tone of the crowd was pretty sharp, though, and we got a very good response. Check out the socialist alliance website for pics.

Will do.
thanks.
