I have read this with great interest. There is a real "coming in from the cold" about how these ex-Trots have climbed the heights. I am an old Irish Catholic and so am full of notions of betrayal and selling out and being a traitor. That part of me is beyond scandalised by their embrace of Cameron and now Johnson. There is a scene in *Man for all Seasons * where More confronts the traitor who is sending him to the gallows. The traitor had been made Attorney for Wales Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world. But for Wales. My lords! I've done. I feel like saying something equivalent to the Spiked mob. They have sold out to get the chance to kiss Farage and Johnson's asses. How in the name of jesus could they? comradely Gary On Sun, Jul 28, 2019 at 10:40 PM Louis Proyect via Marxism < marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu> wrote: > ******************** POSTING RULES & NOTES ******************** > #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. > #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. > #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. > ***************************************************************** > > This week it was announced that Munira Mirza would be joining new prime > minister Boris Johnson's team as head of Number 10’s policy unit.
