    London, UK couriers down

    I don't normally do this but as many of you are aware as a messenger you will mostly have...

    ...no union, no salary, no benefits - if you're injured, you're S. out of luck.

    Therefore please have a look at the posting on Moving Target and help if you can.

    As usual, your reading comprehension is outstanding.

    Anyway, if anyone knows of a bike fund for either of these riders lemme know. Seems like a pretty easy way to help, and i'm pretty sure we'd all love to pitch in.

    Yes, there is!

    We are doing collections specific to these riders, but the BMEF will gratefully accept any other donations.
