I knew Charlie from my swp days; he lives around the corner from me still I
would imagine. Actually, to be honest, on the UK left more or less everybody
knows everybody else. There’s a lot to agree with here but I still maintain its
an issue that most of the commentariat do not know of who they speak. Not a
clue. Particularly as most don’t venture beyond London and often have little
clue of the hand-to-mouth nature of many other people’s lives. For many,
pontificating on politics is a luxury they can’t afford. I couldn’t help but
laugh either when he uses formulations that imply ‘historical missions’ etc.
but some habits die hard I guess.
This Grauniad article is quite interesting in pointing out just how fractured
things actually are rather than just relying on the lazy ‘us and them’ optic
(and sort of ties in with the Brexit threads and the Corbyn post from Gary
yesterday):
