Kate Godfrey, Three years as a Labour Party candidate. Ten years in the Middle East. Never noticeably successful.

And how many years and years to come as a shill and apologist for the for the oligarchs of the international financial markets’ sham UK democracy?

They won’t allow social democracy any more, their greed, arrogance and ambition are far too great and they no longer face an existential threat from communism. Real socialism, with the complete destruction of the political power of privately-held capital and the political traditions that go with it is the only way forward. If you’re up for that, you’ll rejoin tomorrow. If not, you’re on the side of the Thatcherites and their Establishment masters and , in turn, their International Finance masters.
