This is when I realised the left is hideously compromised across the Western world. On one such March, we arrived in a large group (whilst never being fully accepted into it) carrying our Red Flag flying at Trafalgar Square (Central London) – and met a young woman wearing a striking headscarf (there was something about his woman that attracted us – usually we do not engage random approaches). This lady treated us as Comrades – and gave us a leaflet about the injustices suffered by the (Maoist) Workers’ Institute by the Tory government! Something good came out of all of this – but not what we wanted or intended.
