Light entertainment from our Stalinist friends

I finally succumbed to the ultimate modern-day vanity excercise: I Googled myself. I didn’t find much, as it happens, beyond some collaborative contributions on jazz that I’m quite proud of. Then I found this:

A website called Network54 – Formercommunists:

Uncle Joe: laugh? I nearly died!

“Jim Denham is part of that weird bunch of followers of trot guru Sean Macgamna, who have gradually abandoned any attempt at remaining committed to socialism, first the International Communist league, then socialist organiser , and now the Aliiance for Workers Liberty…They are soft on Israel, vehemently anti-soviet. Denham, sounds like a public school boy , despite his voluntary proletarianisation in the 1970s at Longbridge where he never made much impact, apart from touting a scurrilous anti-trade union leadership rag, personally is addicted to ‘left’ gossip and is a venomous tongued regaler of tall tales when in his cups about everyone on the left with the exception of himself Magamna and his micro group…. a very sad bastard in other words.”

I don’t think they like me very much. Oh well.

I removed a Youtube clip of a shapely female backside, that accompanied this devastating critique, and that my critics had included as part of their powerful destruction of my personal character and my political allegiances. I thought the backside was very nice actually, but I’m advised that you can’t be too careful these days.
