"Look for your own. Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings."
(Andre Gide)

Justice for Kelly Crabtree


Many thanks to A Very Public Sociologist for highlighting the appalling injustice perpetrated against Kelly 'legs' Crabtree - a worker at the Underworld factory in Weatherfield, Manchester. Her 'crime', insofar as it was one, was to be duped into allowing a future partner in the business to access inside information on the company. She was publicly dismissed - and humiliated - by Underworld's joint owners, Carla 'Botox' Connor and that complete cad, the ever unctuous Nick Tilsley (the beneficiary of this inside, and surely illegal, information). This cruel sacking was without any due regard to employment law or recognised personnel practice. Of course, the odious Carla Connor is well-known for her bullying attitude and Dickensian treatment of the staff in her sweatshop. There is no union recognition at the the Underworld factory, or sweat-shop more like it, so Connor can therefore exploit her workers with impunity.

To show your anger at the brutal treatment handed out to comrade Crabtree, please send messages of support and donations to the fighting fund to:
