I doubt you'll understand a word, but you'll get the idea.
If I ever gather enough money to come see my club play (I only watched the two games in Belgrade vs Partizan, years ago), we'll have a Brown Ale or two on me.

Nothing much now coggeh, alls quiet not at the mo.
Hows all down your end?

Today was the first official meeting of Newcastle United fan club in Serbia. I was surprised...there is more than 30 of us Toon lunatics in Serbia and I thought I was the only one. I'm vice-president of the new-found fan club. Howay!

Well it's a difficult one really. There are a couple things that I would reproach Crow with (f.e his inflated union wage, he's gets quite a lot per year), but I believe, at the moment, the left needs to be pragmatic. I.e. I like him and support his actions mostly because he's a well-known figure of the workers left in the UK, and there's some totally unnecessary slander against him. I support him because, partly, there's no other UK, mainstream leftist to support. As for TUSC, same as well. I support TUSC 100% because they're 100% more progressive and pro-worker than anyone else. Read this (it's only really short): http://tusc.org.uk/pressreleasestrikeruling.htm and then decide whether we should support Crow and TUSC. We have to show solidarity when comrades are assailed by such anti-democratic draconian laws, even if we disagree with some of their actions and beliefs.

Ah lovely, nice area? And yup, it's great that the CWI has at least one MEP that I know of. Maybe with the upcoming election we might see a guy like Nellist in with a really good shot at getting solid support. And it's the same here with a guy like Bob Crow, who, in my opinion, has been doing some sterling work recently with the RMT, but also TUSC. Like Higgins, he is fully behind the workers movement and standing up for strikers.

Yeah, it's nice to know we're not alone on Revleft, we don't seem that popular :P. I was wondering, since you're in North Ireland (I think) did you see that letter from SP MEP Joe Higgins, giving support to the BA strikers? It made me quite proud, that there's at least someone willing to stand up for them.

And yeah things here aren't bad I guess. Activism has stepped up quite a lot recently, but I'm also really busy with tests, so I've gotta balance the two. It's quite difficult. How's things with you?

Thanks for the friends invite comrade.

things are going well I must say. Not everything though, but still .

Hi Coggy, how are things going?
