Calverts are not to be trusted. We shouldn't give them the time of day. They used to print the Socialist Standard until one of their typesetters took it upon themself to add a dissenting comment to a criticism of the IRA in one of the articles. In other words, to express support for the IRA's anti-working-class bombing campaign (remember Birmingham, Wigan, etc?) that was going on at the time. It was the last issue they pinted for us as we immediately changed printers.

Which issue and what was the comment?

[ALB]

The issue concerned was March 1988 and the article "Hate and its Causes" (subtitles: "Horror in Ulster" and "Sinn Fein policies"). The comment, appended at the end of the article, said:

Quote:

The views expressed in this article are not necessarily those held by Calvert's Press.

The sequence of events was then:April 1988: letter from a member under the heading "Were we censored?"May 1988: letter from "Some members of Calvert's Press" under the heading "Calvert's reply" which began:

Quote:

The article "Hate and Its Cause" (Socialist Standard March 1988) contains inaccuracies and unsubstantiateed generalisations concerning the republican movement in Northern Ireland.

and went on, over two columns,  to defend Sinn Fein and the IRA against the criticisms in the article.June 1988: long letter under the heading "IRA again" from the author, Richard Montague (of Belfast), dealing with the Calvert members' objections in detail.September 1988: last issue of the Socialist Standard printed by Calverts.

A union printing shop is much better, they are being used by many leftist groups for many years. They just print whatever is given to them, they do not add anything else
