layers of privilege and oppression with Keith Flett's unsubstantiated assertion that he has appeared in more leftwing periodicals than me (Osierism or optimism? SO37) cannot go unchallenged.
I have written articles or letters in Socialet Outlook Socialst. Tribune Now Statesman, Labour Briefing, The Morning Star, Socialist Organiser, cialist Review, Trade Union News, New Times, Marxism Today. and Fight!, Socialist Action (both earty 80s UK and current American versions), Inbernational Viewpoint, Rouge (France), and Internationalen (Sweden).
Moreover, I have been attacked by Press, Workers Power, Analysis and The Leninist, and by implication in Workers Hammer and Casablanca. Do pending on what Flett defines as left, I Outlook (the other one), Now Musical Express and Nicaragua Today.
When we come to commercial pub No. 40 cations, its a safe bet that not even Keith can boast front pages splashes in zetle, International Freighting Wookly and Tokyo-based Shipping and Trade News (I'm still their London correspondent), or 6000-word features for Loyds List.
This is before we get to my broad cast work are contoons int Daily Telegraph, The Financial Times, International Musician and Recording tail Week, Camden and St Pancras Chronicle, Sounds, Marine Business and Tradewinds (Norway). Need I go on?
Stll, keep up the good work, son. You might get there one day.
