I thought they were just a private eye invention
have they put you off 'the left' forever yet?

YesNever mind the Sparts, anyone remember Big Flame?
had a friend who was a sprat
Who has done that?To compare the Sparts to Big Flame is crass and ludicrous.
I also once went in a Spart organised march in London. A "Free Mumia" thing. Give ''em their due the Sparta and Earth First! were the only orgs I remember pushing the Mumia campaign over here.
Their red armbanded security detail were a bit wtf though. I also have some vague memories of a kerfuffle over flag burning on that march. Damn memory
The Mumia campaign didn't half attract some bonkers political sects (and not just EF! ). In London there was a women who used to sport a black beret and over whatever else she was wearing a tshirt with 'WE NEED HIM MAO MORE THAN EVER!' around a pic of the man himself.
"Irish Workers Group calls on Pope to expel Chinese Ambassador"They did have the foresight to run a series of bulletins in the 90s with the fantastic title of
Hate Trotskyism – Hate the Spartacist League
which is an absolute treasure trove of bonkers doctrinal and sectarian invective.
Imagine being the Trots other Trots think are weird.
That's like Keith Richards coming up to you and saying "you alright mate? you don't look too good".
I think they left because the proper sparts were too sparty. 5 members in 2016 according to the new book Contemporary Trotskyism.Imagine being these guys then. Too Sparty even for the Sparts. The Super Sparts they were known as.
