Believe it or not, yes! I know someone who shares articles from The Canary and at one point actually joined the Trade Union and Socialist Coalition. Having gone on protests, I don’t think they would have any qualms about buying a copy of Socialist Worker. Some people can still surprise you!
On the contrary, most leftist activists under 40 seem to regard the Socialist Worker as something of a joke publication.

Surely by their very nature, there are no leftist activists who aren't under 40? As the famous quote by Clemenceau goes; "if you're not a socialist at 20 you've got no heart, if you're still one at 40 you've got no head."

By todays terms he was quite a socialist well above the age of 40. Mind you these days people think that Tony Blair is/was a socialist.

This is person is I speak of is over 40. They were never always socialist, and I've never known them to read Socialist Worker, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Even so, considering that the Daily Mail is now being put back on the shelves, I don't think Virgin would have a problem selling joke publications would they? :lol:

Having left wing views and considering yourself a socialist still doesn't mean you'd take Socialist Worker seriously!

But I suppose if Virgin sold Asian MILF Gangbang VIII magazine too, you could buy that and tuck your copy of Socialist Worker inside.

There'd be no room for it, not with my copies of Rail; Railway Modeller; and Coach & Bus Monthly to hide too! ;)

That's not a publication I am familiar with - is it on sale at WH Smith ? o_O

You really think a company called "Virgin" Trains would tolerate such publications?
