This could be a thing! Westminster politics is not going to do anything for us.
Mick Lynch has shown us there is another way...

Thanks for posting, have signed up.

I'm trying but I'm getting a 502 Bad Gateway error, anyone else?

Thanks also, signed and shared.

Acorn are very good guys, so didn't hesitate once I saw they were involved.

Too many trying to sign up, crashed the site, apparently fixed now.

Still "bad gateway" for me. I'll give it a day or two.

Argh, dumbasses...

Why start a movement on a platform that can't cope with sign ups. They are losing thousands even as I type.

Awful colour scheme.  They should reconsider that.

Also I'm not sure about union of unions it's 3 of the smaller unions in the UK about 300k between them.  Still you've gotta start somewhere but it will be interesting in how UNITE (probably the most amenable), UNISON or GMB will feel about it without being founder members and under what circumstances they would be involved.

They've created a rally point which is what was needed, let's see.

Yep it's not like it hasn't been done before.  Time and place are key influencers of success though.

Didn't see this earlier but it's obviously a very positive step.  So heartening to see CaBbers stepping up and signing up.  Loved the vid.  And I love Ronan Burtenshaw and Mick Lynch.  And Zara Sultana.  Dave Ward.  Eddie Dempsey.  Beautiful.

A good sign

Armed Traffic Warden

Signed.

Missed a trick not using:
'(The establishment's) Alright already!'

Instead of 'enough is enough'

Vodkafone

Signed up. I'd heard about this from Acorn, which I'm a member of, and they are a good lot. Looking forward to stuff happening near me.

When will I receive my stickers

Buelligan

Give me your address and I'll send someone round.

This is great, has the potential to grow into the best thing for the left since Corbyn. Clear aims, the right people involved, a good start,

Is their name Bill? I won't hesitate to have them prosecuted.

Captain Z

Sounds good, signed up.

Crenners

Top people involved here, unwaveringly intelligent and incisive communicators. Dempsey and Lynch will make people feel they can run through walls, which is what's needed.
