When the Tories pretend to be socially responsible, caring and cuddly they are nothing short of laughable, but when the mask slips and they show their real face they are beyond parody. The latest scheme is to try pushing the idea of ‘cutting the red tape’ as contained in John Redwood’s new cunning plan. By […]

The last couple of weeks have seen a whole pile of relative-visiting. After I went up to see Dad in hospital, Jayne found out that her uncle was also in hospital and her Dad wasn’t well either. Last week she went over to East Sussex to visit her family and now she is back we […]

Like my dreams they fade and die

Bugger! Not a great start for West Ham. Its some sort of consolation that after all their heavy spending and talk about breaking into the top four Spurs also lost. Looking on the bright side, Crawley Town beat Stevenage so they now only need another win to reach zero points.

Fallibility of the Internet

Yesterday I came across what looked like a brilliant bit of trivia. The film Personal Services was on TV and I wanted to check up something about it on IMDb. In the trivia section it said: Upon theatrical release, the film was banned in Ireland. Only four films have been banned in Ireland, and three […]
Lloyds TSB

Poor old Lloyds TSB are going through a bit of a rough time at the moment, and staff must be feeling a bit vulnerable, so that makes it all the more impressive that a crowd of Lloyds TSB staff in Crawley gave up a day this week to go along to the Broadfield Community Centre […]

For the third season in a row Crawley Town have been docked points. This year we start the season with minus six points. At least we are 4 points up on where we were at the start of last season, which is a tiny consolation.

Question of the day

There has been a lot of attention given to Tom Cowie’s decision to stop donating money to the Tory party and to join the queue of Tory supporters, members and sympathisers who are lining up to stick the knife into David Cameron. I was more interested in the tail end of the story in the […]
Uncharacteristic burst of energy

I really have had a flurry of activity today. This evening I had a trade union meeting, immediately followed by a Unite Against Fascism meeting, where I picked up a big pile of actions.

Does anyone have any photos of the Crawley Mela which show the Wealden UAF/Crawley Campaign Against Racism stall or which show all the crowds wearing UAF/Unite badges? If so, are you willing to let us have a copy for future UAF leaflets or the website? No payment (we are saving funds for campaigning) but full […]
