And now for bed
NO2ID Core Board meeting went well, though I’m frankly astonished to discover that apparently half the fringe-left (of which I would consider myself proudly a member) seems to think we’re a front for the SWP!
A front for the SWP?! They’ve obviously never read any of my posts to The List back when I was subbed. Or noticed that UKIP are affiliated. And various bits of the Greens. That’s the one thing I really hate about left-wing politics. If we weren’t all quite so bloody People’s Front of Judæa we’d accomplish so much more.
BBC’s Question Time from Croydon was scary. It didn’t help that Trevor Kavanagh was there (I laughed out loud when he claimed that The Sun try not to wax hyperbolic about immigration). The girl in red in the audience was dead right. I’m paraphrasing, but she “didn’t realise she lived around quite so many narrow minded, Daily Mail reading scumbags”. You go girl. And move North Of The River; you know it makes sense
