Milne and Abbott hope to force a “revenge” reshuffle onto Corbyn
Press speculation that Jeremy Corbyn is planning to reshuffle his Shadow Cabinet in the first week of January originated from his Stalinist ‘Head of Communications’ Seumas Milne– who fed the press stories to the effect that Corbyn wants to assert his authority by dismissing “disloyal” shadow ministers who have defied his leadership over the vote on bombing ISIS in Syria […]
“What made you appoint fascism-apologist Seumas Milne?”
Above: Seumas Shiraz doesn’t know very much about Kate Godfrey (KateVotesLabour) but she’s absolutely right about this appalling appointment: So Mr Corbyn, what made you appoint fascism-apologist Seumas Milne? I’m told the new politics is based on honesty. So fine, here’s an honest question for Jeremy Corbyn. How could you? How bloody could you? How could you […]
Milne champions Popular Front with Lib Dems, SNP, Greens and Respect
Above: Seumas getting all excited The ‘Popular Front’ (ie what used to be called “class collaboration”) is alive and well in the fevered imagination and wet dreams of the Graun‘s tame public school Stalinist: “[T]he prospect of a Labour-led parliamentary alliance – including, say, Lib Dems, the SNP, Greens, Plaid Cymru, the SDLP and Respect – […]
Shameless Milne: Putin’s admirer at the Graun
The Graun‘s licenced in-house public school Stalinist, Shameless Seumas, has come out with his most craven exercise in pro-Putin apologetics yet. This bit is a classic example of Milne’s method; a crude “my enemy’s enemy is my friend” view of the world that, dressed up in pompous verbiage, pretends to be some kind of serious analysis: “Putin’s oligarchic nationalism […]
Islamism: The Guardian’s tame upper-class Stalinist Milne is on the wrong side
Above: “Posh Boy” Milne This is becoming worrying; I’m agreeing more and more with the Pabloite revisionist Coates (who’s just posted this about the public school Stalinist and friend of clerical fascism, Milne ): In 2004 Seamus Milne, an editor at the Guardian wrote, It is the insurgent spirit of political Islam, however, that has brought the […]
Seumas Milne on ‘Stalin’s missing millions’
This article by Seumas Milne, written shortly before the final collapse of the USSR, appeared in the Guardian of March 10 1990. It is not available anywhere else online (as far as I can tell), nor is it included in the new book, wonderfully entitled The Revenge of History, made up of the “cream” of Milne’s Guardian columns. We publish the piece as a service to the international […]
Seamas Milne supports reactionary “anti-imperialism” – yet again
“In this way arose feudal Socialism: half lamentation, half lampoon; half echo of the past, half menace of the future; at times, by its bitter, witty and incisive criticism, striking the bourgeoisie to the very heart’s core: but always ludicrous in its effect, through total incapacity to comprehend the march of modern history. “The artistocracy, […]
The Guardian on Syria: Ian Black -v- Saumas Milne
The Graun, presumably embarrassed by posh-boy Stalinist Seumas Milne’s support for Russia and China in defending Assad, has now published a corrective by Middle East editor Ian Black. He doesn’t name Milne, but his statements that “For some, however, principled objections to western policy clearly weigh more heavily than the suffering of the Syrian people at the hands of a government […]
Seumas Milne: support Assad to help Iran
As Bashar al-Assad steps up his murderous assault upon the population of Homs, the Guardian‘s tame Stalinist Seumas Milne attempts a defence of Russia’s and China’s veto of the Arab League-backed resolution at the UN. It’s a shoddy, despicable piece of mendacity even by Posh Boy Milne’s debased ‘standards.’ Like the good Stalinist he his, […]
Libya: Clive answers Milne’s distortions and half-truths
Public school Stalinist Seumas ‘Posh-boy’ Milne (above) is at it again, denouncing the Libyan revolution, taking the worst possible view of the rebels and minimising (well, virtually ignoring) the crimes of Gaddafi’s murderous regime: “As the most hopeful offshoot of the ‘Arab spring so far flowered this week in successful elections in Tunisia, its ugliest underside has been laid bare […]
