Well, answer # 1: no, not if you're all the way over there, and I'm over here, thousands of miles away.
Answer # 2: of course - or are you pretending that none of the discussions on various mailing lists you are on has intruded in your political practice? I note, as an example, that in 1994 (I might have the year wrong), Tony Cliff of the UK SWP told members not to use email in an (partly unsuccesful) attempt to stop a split in Canada from influence the UK organisation. Does this not tell us something about mailing lists and political practice at least?
Answer # 3: ask J18. I missed the June 18 demo in London, but I'll try and make the November 30 one. I'll keep an ear to the mailing lists to find out where to meet, but I'll also get myself to a photocopier to produce pamphlets before going down to London, since both online and offline discussion are necessary.
