Why are you asking ddraig?

 

[ddraig]

Why are you asking why i'm asking?

 

[butchersapron]

Because i'm interested in what your motivation is in asking the question and how you'd respond if it wasn't being done a by a wobblie. Nick is a great bottom up historian and whether he is a wob or not doesn't effect that. Your response to my original question?

 

[ddraig]

it was/is a straightforward question and nothing to do with the speaker who I accept must be great if you say they are (not taking the piss), and I do not know who he is anyway. not trying to score any points or think it makes any difference if he is or isn't a wob

I was thinking that you might be interested in a transcript or an opportunity to view the video. Going up to that London you say, adventurous.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

I want to come to this and will try to be there.

 

[charlie mowbray]

Sorry meant to say it IS organised by the London General Members Branch of the IWW
(Tube: Blackfriars is nearest, St Paul’s and Chancery Lane are quite close)

Look for the pawnbrokers (also at no.88) just next to St Bride’s Church on the south side of Fleet St. The MayDay Rooms door does not open directly onto Fleet Street. As you face the church you’ll see two doors immediately to your left and just round the corner from the road. One of these is the MDR entrance.
