what are your opinions of him?

he's obviously a lefty. but london class war seem to not like him :unsure:

i'm not sure about him. he says fidel castro is his idol, which makes me want to like him, but on a recent visit to china he was asked about tianamen square and basically dodged the question and refused to condem it, which pissed me off.

He told striking RMT workers to cross a picket line. So he's a scabby wanker.

i used to like him before he basically became a petty london nationalist with nothing to say about the enormous social cleavages within london.

I also his comments in his most recent controversy (not the fiegold one) somewhat indefensible. Telling two jews to go back to Iran - acountry in which the government publishes anti-semitic tracts and in which jews are officially discriminated against is not too dissimilar from telling a black person to go back to apartheid south africa. His refusal to apologise suggests he thinks such comments are OK.

And he has a massive ego.
