Hi peeps

In Dublin one of the taxi drivers i was chatting to must have misunderstood my political perspective somewhat. neutral He said i must be a "champagne socialist". Urgh! Can any of you do better/worse?

Love

i've been told i'd make a good lawyer by the former chairman of the green party, that sent a shudder down my spine.

Actually my worst is my Polish workmate, who refuses to recognise that I really fucking hate "Soviet Communism".

I find it equally insulting when called either a syndicalist or a trade unionist.

Workerist, not because of the word but because they thought I'd find it insulting.

i believe a group i was involved with at the time were 'denounced' as 'neo-kornilovists', which was interesting if a little bemusing, as we weren't quite ready to march on petrograd yet....

Elaine Brown, former chairman of the Black Panthers, once told a friend of mine that he reminded her of Mao.

On bumping into Billy Bragg at some Love Music hate Racism gig he told me that "situationist " was just a fancy term for people who like to paint the barricades pink, i never liked the guy.
