At 10:25am, 15 mins or so after Bob's death was announced, BBC Radio 5 Live's political correspondent Chris Mason reported that Bob Crow 'was always winding up politicians'.
How disrespectful. Trades unions have 15 times more members and are far more democratic than political parties in the UK Mr Mason.  http://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2013/05/17/friday-drivetime-122/

One of the most unpleasant people I ever met. He did nothing other than impede technical progress of London's transport system and take a hypocritically large salary whist sitting in a council house.

Now the world can enter this century.
