Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

Card carrying hero of the working class?

Well dear reader, according to an article in today’s Sunday Times magazine I am a “card carrying hero of the working class” – do I add it as a strapline at the top of the blog I wonder? I think I prefer being described as “affable”… :)

I was interviewed because of my involvement with the leadership campaign of John McDonnell MP. John has been invited to speak at the next meeting of the UNISON Greater London Regional Council on 14 December because of his involvement with the Public Services Not Private Profit campaign, and his general support for trade union policies.

Your reference to being "inside the tent pissing in" shows great insight on your part about the dirty entryist role you play in the labour party. Don't you see any contradiction between your membership of the labour party and your anti-labour alliance with the SWP in the unions?

"Jon Rogers 42 agreed to meet me in a pub"

You evade the point - how do you reconcile your junior partner dependency on the SWP in the unions with your membership of the labour party?

PS putting aside your self serving construct of the 'left'?

Interesting that you missed off WIL - Workers International League, publishers of Workers Action - why am I surprised?
