The United National Antiwar Coalition is affiliated to – maybe even a front for – the Workers World Party. Not saying he’s a member or a fellow-traveller of the WWP. He might just be a useful idiot for them.
Though the WWP has it historic roots in the American Socialist Workers Party, they’re best described as tankies at this point.
Not a fan.
A genuine question: why do you think it’s painful to read the website version?
PS – There is a PDF of this month’s Socialist Standard. Someone sent me a copy.
Surely an album review deserved its own separate page?
If only to mark the fact that it’s only the fifth album review in 1415 issues of the Socialist Standard.
The only reason Mr Blobby would have got more votes is because he once appeared on the front cover of the Socialist Standard.
That aside, DJP makes a fair point which I happen to agree with.
What the world’s been waiting for: the 20 most viewed articles on the Socialist Standard Past and Present blog in 2021:

Ross Bradshaw sent me that link two weeks ago. My bad that I did not pass it on.
I think Andrew Whitehead cribbed that comment about Jack Fitzgerald from the SPGB wiki page. You wouldn’t get that idea of Fitzgerald simply from reading old bound volumes of the Standard.
The current number one read on the Socialist Standard Past and Present blog:
Just read this article this morning in a not so old Socialist Standard.
The Labour Party shagging the flag is like flared trousers: it comes back into fashion every 10 or 12 years:
“So you are for the Loony Left?
That is what they’re all about: erasing and silencing.”
Yeah, you got me bang to rights.
I live in the States and I had to look up the Cervantes statue story. It was not a big news story over here. So, some ignorant numpties defaced a statue not knowing who he was . . . or maybe they did, and they defaced it out of frustration ‘cos – like me – they couldn’t finish Don Quixote.
It’s not on a par with these muppets from 2000 but it is facepalm funnier, I guess:
Paediatrician attacks ‘ignorant’ vandals
PS – for the hard of hearing – I’m not in favour of ‘cancel culture’ but neither am I in favour of right-wing culture war talking points either. In many cases I think there are wankers on both sides who are birds of a feather.
