    They surely don't!

    "Fascist politicians – or the more reactionary employers – denounce all their opponents as 'reds' (without worrying unduly as to their doctrinal differences). Establishment Liberals call the Young Liberals 'anarcho-syndicalists'. Labour leaders appeal to the loyalty of their supporters, denouncing dissidence as 'Tory-inspired'. Trade union leaders, threatened with a rank-and-file challenge to their authority, can only think in terms of 'anarchist conspiracy'. 'Left' critiques of the Communist Party are all, of course, initiated by the Economic League, and opposition to the General Secretary in Clapham High Street must of necessity orginate in Scotland Yard." Solidarity V, 8 (March 1969)

    Obviously it's the WRP (at that time known as the Socialist Labour League) and Gerry Healy that are being referred to. But it's hilarious anyhows. Everyone knows it's MI5 that keeps an eye on us.wink
