It all minds me of the RCP's Kings Cross bunker, The Edge. Stuck in a windowless basement with Claire Fox haranguing teenagers, great days.

I walked past and looked at the crowd, I didn't get that impression at all. Weren't particularly well-dressed and there was no champagne to be seen just bottled beer. Didn't go inside to see what they were eating. I think Tony Benn was speaking.

There was fucking champagne, suits and canapes.

I have a thing about people describing places as 'spaces', too for some reason. There's an inherent wankiness there that I can't quite put my finger on.

...and whilst it's obviously a crock of shite, I'd still rather pop in somewhere nicely done out for a cappuccino than a badly lit, dark slightly damp "social centre" to eat vegan slop with a bunch of juggling hippies.

Is this some sort of snipe at PD's Stroud hangout, The Pavlov's House?

We can use it as a Girder distribution point I spose.

Firebox London
108 Cromer St
WC1H Camden Town

I used to live in The Boot just a few doors down.

What time you and hillers booked in for?

Booked in at the Cuts Cafe not this one, but one of Hilary's hyper-posh Trot fellow travelling mates is trying to persuade us to hold an event I'm trying to organise (with Leo Panitch - whose new book is really good btw) - at Firebox.

 

[butchersapron]

One of?

I don't why Panitch bothers with you lot - oh yeah, you pay his airfare. We can beat that anyway, we have Silvia Federici.
