About Me

Charlie Pottins has been a labourer, left-wing journo (low paid or unpaid), porter and packer. A member of the Jewish Socialists' Group and an active trade unionist, he was in Palestine before the first Intifada and in Bosnia during the war there. Now retired, but the devl makes work for idle hands, and when not partaking in various committees or mucking about on the Internet he likes reading and walking.
