The Former Red Squirrel's Lair: Foxy letter
http://squirrelcommunism.blogspot.com/2007/11/foxy-letter.html
The Former Red Squirrel's Lair. Wednesday, 14 November 2007. The following is a letter to Socialist Worker by SSP National Convenor Colin Fox. As an SSP member, I have extracted many lulz from the SWP's theoretical "analysis" of what's happening in RESPECT, given their behaviour in the SSP during the whole Sheridan debacle. Cheers to Colin for pointing the irony out. If anyone drove Tommy Sheridan out of the SSP it was the SWP – you could say they supplied the getaway car! Socialist Worker will convince ...

The Former Red Squirrel's Lair: Historical Materialism Conference 2007
http://squirrelcommunism.blogspot.com/2007/11/historical-materialism-conference-2007_12.html
The Former Red Squirrel's Lair. Monday, 12 November 2007. Historical Materialism Conference 2007. There weren't any more 'sessions' for the day, as it extended into a 'meet the editors' session and a lunchbreak, I did have some pretty interesting conversation during this period, so it was all to the good. The next 'session' was a plenary one, featuring some rather big hitters, the talk was on 'Neo-liberalism and Neo-imperialism' and the speakers were Alex Callinicos, Robert Brenner and David McNally.

The Former Red Squirrel's Lair: October 2007
http://squirrelcommunism.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
The Former Red Squirrel's Lair. Thursday, 25 October 2007. Jack Straw, Human Rights and the 21st Century. Just heard a speech by Jack Straw. On 'Human Rights in the 21st Century', although by virtue of his position as politico the talk was of course slightly incoherent it was nonetheless interesting for several reasons. Firstly, the speech has to be read with the recent government announcement on a 'Bill of Rights and Duties'. Of the ECHR it certainly does not. Have a content of positively enumerating.

The Former Red Squirrel's Lair: Historical Materialism Conference - Part 2
http://squirrelcommunism.blogspot.com/2007/11/historical-materialism-conference-part.html
The Former Red Squirrel's Lair. Monday, 12 November 2007. Historical Materialism Conference - Part 2. Wow Apparently my notes on the fisrt plenary session were pretty long. The notes for the next session 'Islam and American Imperialism' are a bit less so. Not becuase the talks weren't interesting, but because I'd already sat through one long session and the lecture theatre was rather sophorific, owing to the temperature and layout. Gilbert Achar - Imperial Uses of Islam. Islamic fundamentalists - who ten...

The Former Red Squirrel's Lair. Thursday, 29 November 2007. Tension increases in Venezuela. Carries two very important articles today. One.

The Former Red Squirrel's Lair. Monday, 23 July 2007. Comrades, I am currently in Greece and being tortured by the heatwave.

Cheerio. Tuesday, 10 July 2007. The following is from Weekly Worker. Condemn physical assaults on this year’s Marxism! The fact is that comrade Simon has attended SWP meetings since - ...
