Wha minds o the name o the judge who condemned him to 3 years for speaking against oppression and injustice. Naebody. He's forgotten.

@nacho1560 John McLean is buried in a cemetery between Thornliebank and Pollokshaws.I once went to a ceremony there where Tommy Sheridan spoke at his grave.

I genuinely miss Alistair Hulett. His loss has left a huge hole in revolutionary music.

[nacho1560]

Where is john McLean buried? And where Alistair Hullett? Just wondering, like to pay my respects some day.

[nacho1560]

Alistair's message will never die.
