Tendance Coatesy 
Always an informative, passionate, and well argued read which I learn much from and, also, sometimes, can argue and disagree with. Most often, agree. Excellent on France and Europe generally. Enlightening on aspects of the far left.

Hi Andy. Isn’t the interwebnet age a marvel? Please let me know that I have indeed identified the correct Andy Coates…if “the Enterprise”, Tewkesbury Terrace, Brecknock Road and the Forest of Dean are familiar to you, then you are the correct person.
Best wishes,
Paul

Yup Paul.
Incidentally I notice Big Foot, Nick, is frequently cited as an authority on Corbyn’s time in Hornsey – as a member of the Young Socialists, as you may or may not recall, Mr Rosen was.

Generally the debate is much better than on the infantile blogs like Socialist Unity or the fantasists like Labour List, the nitpickingly pedantic like Left Futures or the totally irrelevant and we’re only writing this because we like to look important Left Foot Forward.
Having said that the whole thing would be transformed for the better by having a reply function as that would enable a continuous discussion.

as if that twitter blue young labour website wans’t created by a fake account to make blue labour look bad to imply it accepted the nazis Vichy france surrender but patriotism view as you know well blue labour is against multi culturalism so as such would never had a young wing if any wing would imply factionalism of identity politics
