Ah- Tony Greenstein, ex Brighton Polytechnic student and student union activist- I remember him well. I've no idea what he's been up to since he left there, though he's still in Brighton, I believe. We always thought he was a bit of an arse in those days - a bit like that Groucho Marx character, Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff from "Horse Feathers", who sang, "Whatever it is, I'm against it!".

Links would be useful if opening a thread, or a teensy weensy indication as to subject matter. Or are we playing guess what the hell he is on about?

Iains, people were posting on the Brexit thread about Tony Greenstein. I wasn't appropriate to the subject matter of that thread so I opened this one just for them.


PS It's good to know you are au fait with current news.

Many a true word! is that your contribution to this thread in particular or all threads?


Thankyou Jim. I do like a little clarity. My life is too busy to hunt for deeper meanings in cryptic posts.

Raggytash. You may have noticed. You cannot afford to take prisoners on this forum.
