I'm bemused by the Socialist Republic reference as well, and I initially thought of a De Leonist group as well. (Was it Sam Brandon's lot, the Industrial Union Party?) With regards to a Socialist Republic paper/magazine in Britain or the UK, I'm really at a loss to remember one. Wasn't there an Irish paper called Worker's Republic? That's the only one I can of.edit: Quick edit reveals the Irish paper:Link: Workers RepublicThe journalist obviously made a mistake with regards the name of the newspaper/magazine, and it'll probably be Socialist Review, or something of that ilk.

I disagree with Joel's comments about Bowie but I hope the letter is published in next month's Standard.

Typo in article. That overrated dullard, Wayne Rooney, is in fact on 300k a week.

I guess this really should be posted in 'off topic' but I just stumbled across a website that suggests that an SPGBer – and his two SPGB sons – introduced modern tattooing to Scotland, and there's a website to prove it.I just posted a short obituary from the January 1948 Socialist Standard for a Comrade Prince Vallar of Glasgow Branch and, intrigued by the unusual name, I decided to reach for google. It only turns out that there's a small website dedicated to Prince Vallar and sons 60 plus years after his death, which makes the case for Prince popularising tattooing in Scotland.

Congrats on the new design. I'm really impressed with the individual countries feature at the head of the page.
