Dear Cde Cedric, Let me offer a little bit of factual personal witness.
You may be aware that I once worked for the London-based communist British national daily newspaper, the *Morning Star<http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/index.php>, as did my son James after me.* The Daily Star is a bourgeois newspaper that was started deliberately to undermine the Morning Star, which then challenged their publishers for stealing our title. We lost that battle in the court and had insufficient funds for an appeal. It hurt the Morning Star. You are now sending round a PDF of the Daily Star and calling it "British Media". I think it is as well to remember that the class struggle is going on in all countries and that the class struggle is manifest in the media as in every other aspect of society. The Daily Star is a vicious anti-working class newspaper sold to working-class readers for next to nothing. Jonah Fisher's question to Julius Malema, as to why he was criticising the MDC for working out of Sandton in this country, when Malema himself actually lives in Sandton, was a fair and class-conscious question which the Morning Star would have been proud to ask and happy to hear answered. The people who work for the British newspaper and broadcast media, including the journalists, are workers, and should be respected as such, just as much as your members who may work for arms manufacturers, for example, must be respected as workers even if the arms they make are sold to the Imperialists to kill workers in other countries. The solution is revolution and not chauvinism. Chauvinism is, as August Bebel put it, the socialism of fools. Workers of the world, unite!
