Tommy Sheridan - what a twat
If I had more time, I'd write a big juicy post about the hubris and megalomania of Tommy Sheridan, and about the fact that they Socialist Workers Party are prepared to join him in his pathetic adventures, and happy to wreck the Scottish Socialist Party, the most successful left party in the British Isles for decades, in doing so. The SWP never fell for Uncle Joe, but these days they seem to bend over at the fluttering of an eyelid from any would-be Stalin with a big enough ego (George Galloway, Hugo Chavez, Sheikh Nasrullah...)

- The SWP view here (Check the photo illustrating the "great opportunity": Islamofascism's useful idiots draped in Hamas war garb. James Connolly and John MacLean would be grimacing in their graves).

Which is still the case. The agreement holds.

That'd be James Connolly the devout Catholic and leader of a failed uprising, alleged socialists across Europe condemned at the time as "petit bourgeois" and "immature"? (Lenin, needless to say, did not.) That'd be John Maclean, founder of the Scottish Workers' Republican Party and committed supporter of nationalist struggles, including Connolly's?
And on your planet "Hamas war garb"=a headscarf? Wonder what you'd say to Connolly's crucifix...
