His description of Stop The War as "anti-West fury chimps" made me laugh.

Didn't he attempted to backstab Brown, too?

Expect a torrent of fury from MerseyMike because they aren't anti-Israel. |

What's the badge on John Hemming's lanyard? Former MPs pass. Gets him into Parliament and it's facilities. |

Expect a torrent of fury from MerseyMike because they aren't anti-Israel. I thought they were generally regarded as maverick for the sake of it - a bit like the Institute of Ideas who started off as the Revolutionary Communist Party and then morphed into Living Marxism and now fully fledged right wing libertarians. I don't think I have actually met anyone who supports the AWL though.....and I've probably had more exposure to marginal left sects than most |

There was an issue with AWL entryism in Oxford University Labour Club when I was there. Never seen any sign of them since.

A friend of mine used to do one of those Worker's Beer things at music festivals, and was stuck at Leeds Festival with some far-left groupuscule whose name I forget. Now Dave, being a unrepentant Blairite, wasn't fond of them.
Anyone, one night, passing their tent after the late shift, he heard one of them say to the rest of the group:
"Seriously, I just couldn't bring myself to bayonet a baby for the revolution, even if were a kulak".

She was so nice and then would suddenly go off on one, usually totally illogically. And the Trotsky worship was...intense. Next year she's marrying a Mail reader. The mind boggles. |
