Really good talk last night. For a man of 92 years Bob possess an extradionary spirt and mind and looks extremley healthy.
He is as much an anti fascist now as when he was fighting in Spain and his thoughts on capitalism replacing facism are very true and up to date.
Bob called on this generation to keep up the fight against State observation and global Capitalism and all the evils it possess. He doesn't want to see the efforts he and his comrades made to have been in vain!
The night started with a showing of the Documentary "Spanish Earth" then went on to a speech by Bob before concluding with a song about the war by Manus O'Riordain.
I would reccomend people to get along to the remaining talks on Bob's tour.

No pasarán!
