It is with great sadness and regret that the family have to announce the
passing of George Barnsby at 2.13 am today in Newcross Hospital,
Wolverhampton. As you all know, he had been ill for some months and last
week he developed a chest infection, that by yesterday, had turned into
pneumonia. His family were all at his bedside when he passed away, and he
did not suffer.
We will post details of the funeral arrangements when we have further
information available.

Today comrade George Barnsby breathed his last and thus ended the life of one the most remarkable stalwarts of working-class movement, a dedicated Communist and a political activist who exposed the role of the war criminals like Bush and Blair and their genocidal wars. He had fought against the Nazis in the Second World War and had witnessed the price humanity paid for such wars. He firmly upheld the cause of peace and social justice and his website articles he wrote when he was in his late eightees are a living testimony of his revolutionary zeal and committment.
Comrade George Barnsby was a close friend of mine and I feel deeply sad on his pasing away.
On this sad occasion I offer my condolences to his family and friends.

Very sad to hear of the passing away of George today.
He was a true fighter, a wonderful blogger, a great neighbour and a very warm hearted person who never gave up the cause!
Our thoughts go out to his dear family & Comrades.
