Bob Crow was a fighter and a man of character. "Whatever our political differences, and there were many, this is tragic news." ~ * 'A sad day' 10:45: Mr Johnson added: "Bob fought tirelessly for his beliefs and for his members. "There can be absolutely no doubt that he played a big part in the success of the Tube, and he shared my goal to make transport in London an even greater success. It's a sad day." ~ * 10:31: Former Mayor of London Ken Livingstone said said: "I assumed he would be at my funeral not me at his." He told Sky News: "He fought really hard for his members. The only working-class people who still have well-paid jobs in London are his members. With the passage of time people will come to see that people like Bob Crow did a very good job." |

He was the subject of an interesting piece - a quasi-interview really - which was broadcast yesterday on Radio 4's PM programme, where journalist Becky Milligan took Bob Crow to lunch. Worth a listen - around 7 minutes in duration. Starts at 49mins 45secs: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03xdk8q |
