I learned about Bob Crow from the song named after him by Fit and the Conniptions, from their 2017 album Old Blue Witch;
https://bandwagon.fm/677c2a9b5cd233fafccd3b8c
This is a fun album, full of piss and vinegar. Reminding me in parts of the some of David Rovics, especially his more tongue-in-cheek songs like Burn It Down, and rabble-rousing songs like The Commons and Black Flag Flying.

"He squandered a massive landslide from an electorate hungry for change, poured billions of public pounds into private pockets and accelerated the growing gap between rich and poor"
Crow was speaking about Tony Blair. But he could have been talking about Sir Stammer, Albanese in Australia, or in Aotearoa, Jacinda Ardern and Chris Hipkins. Seems there's a pattern here.
