Hi Michael, thanks for telling me that, I was just saying to Spike (above) that my blood is still boiling! I was chatting to Norm last night about the Miner’s Gala – I would give anything to be there, I’m from a mining family in South Wales. Have a good one! Alison

Hi Spike, Alison here. Thanks for that. It really couldn’t have made my blood boil more what happened to VFP UK in Blackpool! I’m actually still fuming! As I said, the article went out on Thursday in The Morning Star hard copy but when they sent me the link to it on their website they had eviscerated it and I couldn’t put my name to it. Thank goodness me and Mike have our own news site!

The profiteers of war don’t like the truth.

I was one of the few and singled out to be told we were leafletting illegally. Your support is much appreciated. Today we will be in Durham for the Miners Gala, where hopefully we will be received a little more kindly. Without a licience.
