sad news today that Bob Crow died this morning of a massive heart attack.

Bob was of course leader of the RMT Union so active in many areas especially London's tube network the RMT of course has a Hackney cab section renowned for its militancy in london.

RIP Bob

The fact that he was such a big character and pain in the at$e to many shows what a great man he was.Bob Crow never stopped being difficult and that made him simply the most important man in the Unions.Me for one will sadly miss him,one of the few I admired.I'm off to watch his beloved Millwal v pool tonight and think of him.RIP Bob

One of the last great Union leaders, one who fought for his members rights. I may not have agreed with him all the time, but he done what he was paid to do, represent his members.

Very sad.

He was very good at what he did, it's just sad there aren't enough like him in the union movement.

Correct, he was a true union man who fought for his members.

He'll be missed by many.

A decent bloke vilified by toszers like the Daily Mail.

His LUL workers have an awful lot to thank Bob Crow for.
