| Introduction | I've got a bit of form when it comes to internet left things. I was a moderator for the defunct Commielove yahoo club 1998-2000. While there I got bored and set up the notorious UK Left Network discussion list, which I still help moderate. I was also responsible for the ‘Around the Web’ column in the Weekly Worker for 18 months and got into blogging in late 2006 at A Very Public Sociologist. I also contribute to the Socialist Unity and Union Futures blogs. I am a member of the Labour party and have recently completed a PhD looking at the life history of Trotskyist activists. |
