The tour will be guided by Reuben Bard-Rosenberg, a history PhD student at King’s College London and enthusiast of English radical history.
Meet at Firebox (Cromer Street) at 12 noon on Saturday 16 August – cost of tour £4 on arrival. Booking essential. Places are limited, to book text 07581 418 837 or email info@fireboxlondon.net

Ah, The Water Rats.
Celebration!? What a bunch of fools. Might as well as go pay homage to Hitler (another radical socialist). Things like this disgust me about the fools in my local area.
