Out for a meal with two Hackney Comrades

 

Back from a great meal in Evin, Kingsland High Street, E8 and political discussion (aka mostly gossip) with my Hackney Comrades, Yvonne Maxwell and Dave Osler. 

Yvonne and I, are your no nonsense, Labour "sell out" reformists, while Dave is more from the purist (but knows it will never happen) tradition. 

I first met Dave and Yvonne during our extraordinary battles against our weird and wonderful libel actions

Meeting up with Stroppy Bird & Dave

It was great to meet up this evening with Yvonne and Dave at the Evin Restaurant in Dalston. It has been at least 2 years since we last met up (due to you know what). I had forgotten where the Overground platform was at Stratford station. 

Yvonne is a Councillor and Mayoral advisor in Hackney and Dave is a journalist. 

We first met in the Royal Court of Justice in 2009 (with Alex Hilton) when we had a little libel issue to sort out. This took about 2 years. 

Yvonne and I both bored Dave silly with our conversion about the exciting life that  London Councillors lead (knocking on doors, wearing hard hats and visiting dog pounds). 

We hope to meet up with our legal guru Robert Douglas soon (Alex is currently in Thailand I believe but will also try and invite)

Merry Communist Christmas

Merry Crimbo comrades (hat tip stroppy)

Me, Dave and the Royal Court of Justice result...

Picture from early on this evening  at the UNISON centre with my social media comrade, Dave Osland, enjoying some beers to celebrate another freedom of expression legal victory at the Royal Court of Justice.

Further details on the case will hopefully be blogged tomorrow.

Communist Christmas Eve 2015

This is my traditional Crimbo Eve Video. Christianity and most other religions have much in common with Communism and Democratic socialist values in theory but all beliefs and political creeds in reality don't tend to practise what they preach.

Never mind. I hear that some people even like pictures of cats on the internet! Enjoy this video!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!

Hat tip Stroppybird!

Merry Red Crimbo

This is my favourite Christmas video. I have stopped sending cards and instead have donated money to further world revolution (aka Children in Need).

Merry Crimbo to all my Labour Party and trade union comrades and here is hoping for a change of government next year.

Merry Communist Christmas!

This is my traditional Crimbo Video. Communism, Christianity and Democratic Socialist values have much in common in theory but not alas so far in practise.

Until then enjoy!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!
