"John Riddell - Marxist apologist - former leader of the Revolutionary Workers League "
The article contains transcripts of the discussions around whether the left should support the war - unlike you pair, it is not opinion but a documented study of those discussions.
Who should we believe - a pair of extremists like you - Thatcher (the lady who described Pinochet as "a democrat") supporters, people who try to glorify a bloodbath, or to tell us to "get on our bikes" after the tories have destroyed British industry, or who describe that industry as "crap" and say we have to buy from abroad - British skills aren't good enough
Might as well go to the BNP to ask about the contribution blacks make to Britain
You are a pair of screaming right winger extremists.
If you care to look at further documented evidence, I suggest you follow the other articles on on the site
A reminder of what it means to be right wing
"Your right wing shit gave us the Holocaust, a King who supported Hitler, and a Royal Family teaching their sprogs to give the Nazi salute, not to mention a Depression, an ongoing series of recessions, mass unemployment, a divided Britain, permanent high employment, an increasing gap between rich and poor, mass homelessness, a non-industrial Britain - and to top it all, a Prime Minister who exposed herself as a fascist by announcing that Pinochet's mass-murdering policies was her idea of democracy.... need I go on?   
Wouldn't be too proud about being right wing, with your political record. "
"wonder why that was Jom?"
That you have to ask that question defines what you pair are - as about divorced from the real life of ordinary people as you can get.
I really am not interested in your (unqualified as usual) minutia nitpicking of the article - what it does is make total shit of Keith's claim that the left supported the war.
Of course we all know that you know far more that someone who has studied and written as many books and articles on the subject, that's why we don't need any evidence to your crass claims of a classless army and a prosperous pre-war North of England and Democracy at the time workers were being shipped to Australia for farming unions or before half the population got the vote - you just6 have to state it and - whoosh - it's a fact!!
Now once again - how about showing us that my description of right wing policies is an " idiotic little rant"? - No - thought we'd have to take your word for it again.
You pair really are a joke
