And that's a discussion discussion, not an AFA-style "full and frank discussion", right?

I'm not surprised. He's socially conservative already and state socialists are always economically right-wing once they gain power anyway.
A conspiracy theorist I know of is a big fan of Galloway and his 'worker's' party and obsessively posts anti-woke and anti-trans stuff on social media. He's also posted right wing 'libertarian' stuff and loads of anti-vaccine stuff aswell.

From the same 2014 Prospect interview which that quote came from I see this line is also getting an airing on twitter.

Reminds me of that time Robert Fisk referred to Jack Straw as an ex-Trot and he actually bothered writing in to the Independent to insist he'd always been a Stalinist. Can't find the actual letter itself now, but here's a Mark Steel column from the time.

Odd given the shared stalinish background of MacGiolla and GG.

Interesting mostly for the fact of Jack Straw quoting Lenin approvingly. Not unsurprising for a reformist turncoat, anything to his left is ultra-left adventurism that helps the tories. Cuba supporters said it about us (state cappers) and we said it about those dastardly RCP types. I think Militant said the SWP were too. It's not as catchy as running dog lackey of imperialism, but it works.Is it?
Not that I've ever used it myself (whistles nonchalantly)

because, seemingly unlike Ben Wegg-Prosser's family chum, I've actually read it - admittedly some time ago (reason: those dastardly RCP types made me do it) - and I don't think it critiques who or in the way he appears to think it does. I stand to be corrected though.

Big L clearly isn't critiquing trots, because they didn't exist at the time. But, for the far-left, its a question of to what extent the united front applies (I think). If you were in the labour party, not being was ultra-left. For the reformist left, its anything that says labour is shit and just maybe not worth voting for, is ultra left cos it just helps the tories.I was more
Of course Lenin's daft description of just how a newly formed CPGB should proceed hardly helps clarify matters.
I could say more, but I'm pissed.

Was that playing for the full 90 minutes? And was this some sort of cruel psychological experiment on the football players?

I don’t know enough about football to identify the teams playing, but The Gorgeous One did get criticism for attending a match during lockdown. Maybe this is his loophole.
That was when he went to see Queen of the South. Apparently he lives in D&G these days. (((D&G)))

Who knows what further wacky stunts this tedious piece of shit has up his sleeve, to keep his thoroughly irrelevant and unpleasant profile, lodged in the U bend of Scottish politics.
Before, of course, his risible "Alliance for Unity" gets 1.8% of the list vote in May, and he decides with predictable consistency to roll up his shabby Axminster and re-invent himself as exactly the authoritarian left winger the people of Yeovil need. Or Blaneau Gwent. Or Bromsgrove. Wherever, really.
Who knows where the fedora of furious, righteous indignation will land next?

Wyre Forest. Brexity, currently held by a no-mark Tory sex-pest who turns up once every 5 years, previously Labour, previously independent. Feels left behind, streak of rebelliousness.
