Eddy Follis: Born June 4 1905 - Died July 4 2005
A lifelong socialist, Eddy travelled in America in the 1920s and 30s, riding the rails, acting in silent movies and ending up in New York in the depths of the recession. Returning to the UK in the early 30's, he joined the Communist Party heading up a Jewish East-End commando fighting Moseley's UK Nazis and fought at the battle of Cable Street.

KEEP RELIGION OUT OF SCHOOLS AND GOVERNMENT.
Religion has a huge influence in our schools and the government listens to religous leaders all the time. Why? 26% of the populace are athiest or agnostic and another 24% profess no organised religous beliefs, but we have no voice! Please join and donate to The British Humanist Association and the National Secular Society.

I Hate Starbucks!
They make the world's worst coffee, agressively attack local cofee shops, they've tried to prevent Ethiopia from registering it's own coffee brand names and a Caramel Pecan Sticky Roll has more fat than a Big Mac. www.ihatestarbucks.com
