The Line To Take

Let all doubt be dispelled when local MP, Ed Miliband, addressed at Doncaster railway station the rally inaugurating the joint campaign against East Coast Main Line privatisation.

Joint between Progress, which has taken up this cause with some energy, and the Labour Representation Committee, to which the RMT is affiliated, as is the Labour-affiliated ASLEF.

With Bob Crow not only on the platform but speaking from it at this year's Durham Miners' Gala (Durham, like Doncaster, is on the East Coat Main Line), the family reunion is obviously proceeding as well as the ejection of the cuckoos.

Therefore, let Bob Crow be another speaker at this event. Along with Peter Hitchens, indicating that it is this campaign and others like it that have crossover appeal, reaching people of whom Tony Blair could never have dreamed even if he had wanted to.
