Cant say I was a big Bob Crow
supporter; just another leader with power, yeah he did use it to
support his Union members, but in turn he also used it to support
himself in a manner not so working class. All power corrupts! A
'suspected heart attack' has removed a thorn from the side of those
presently holding the(ir) power. A 'crazy conspiracy theorist' might say that his untimely death came at precisely the right time; In the
build up to next years general election the established order isn't
gonna want a charismatic lefty with power pissing on their parade, but who am I to say.

Not that I liked the bloke but he was the only properly militant union leader left, and being the cynical old punk that i am I can't help wondering if The Powers That Be might have given him a helping hand in moving on to the next life. That might sound like one conspiracy theory too far but frankly fuck all would surprise me in this day and age.
Mick Abbott didn't get anywhere near as much coverage but probably should have
