Dont they have jobs to go to?Originally posted by Mordac View PostLots of Socialist Worker placard-wavers at Kensington Town Hall last Friday stirring things up. They'll be out in force as usual, and if there's even the hint of a riot, they'll make sure it happens.

I once did a stint with a 'broadcasting corporation'. There was something on a Thursday evening 'political programme' that was causing a bit of a stir at the time. Anyway, there was a protest outside the building by one group, only for another group to turn up and protest about the protesters. About half-an-hour into it we were playing guess which group late arrivals were going to join. As an aside, I thought it very kind of their respective employers to give them time off work to pursue their 'hobby' at three in the afternoon.Comment
