What do you make of this guy Ricky Tomlinson? A mate of Arthur Scargills and a darling of the left. This guy, who claims to be a socialist, is now an actor or illusion maker. The establishment sent him to prison, now he is held up by that same establishment as an icon. Did you read what he said in the Liverpool Echo newspaper the other night? Two full pages. I suppose it was no coincidence because the next day he was in W.H Smiths signing copies of his new book.

Were the hell is this guy coming from? One minute he’s banging the working class drum the next minute he’s on the Parkinson show with some Tory journalist. I tell you we are living in a crazy world. How can these guys be socialists if thy are millionaires? He also stood as a local election candidate for the National Front. You know what they say about racists? Once a racist always a racist. It’s about time the left woke up to guys like this. But the left have always been asleep to local and national issues.
