Norm on that ever-widening, unbridgeable gulf between the sensible British Left and those who just prefer to froth at the mouth:
It is commonly said against people of what, for short, I'll here just call Eustonian persuasion that our criticisms apply to no more than a handful of dead-enders in the SWP and RESPECT. Yet, week after week, we hear prominent journalists and others of a rather broader segment of left-liberal opinion coming out with stuff of this kind or, where it is a cut above it, still clearly exemplifying the themes we have identified and criticized - the Fisks, the Pilgers and Pinters, the Buntings, Steeles and even the singular Jacques, and then some.
