Socialism issue 5 is coming on strong at the moment… first batch of interviews back in (Alain De Botton & Lonely Planet's Tony Wheeler, since you asked). Trying to work out how to blag onto EasyCruise for a three day insanity session – kind of what the mag is lacking at the moment. We're also thinking of doing some t-shirts and badges soon… anyone interested at all? Mail robin@socialismmagazine.com if you are. They'll be nice, honest.

Hopefully will be with you in time for the school holidays!
