The Martyrdom of St. Leon the Loser

The actual "Trot Pick" on a Mexican radio show.

The blogger, Exile, appears to be based in Mexico and has visited the actual site and museum.

He obviously has strong opinions, on which I couldn’t possibly comment.

Dear Mr.Gray,
From Lambeth UNISON site:

Clearly the author is ashamed of naming Lev Davidiovitch Bronstein as Trotsky - presumably knowing that ordinary people will recognise him for the counter-revolutionary scoundrel and murderer that he was.

Hilariously the author then concludes his contribution (about Children's and young Peoples services, remember) with a foreign language quote: “Ergates tou Kosmou Enothite!” – workers of all lands unite. Clearly he doesn’t know how to use a computer to give him Greek characters. What I’d be interested in knowing is how many of his members have Greek translation skills?

And this is about organising trade union members?

What a total plonker.

Now, now anon. He is not really a total plonker. We can’t sink to their level can we? I’m not sure who wrote it to be honest? Is it the CYPS (whatever that means) convenor or wanabe BB (aka the Brighton Bronstein)? I don’t know what they are going on about to be honest and frankly I’m not all that interested neither are the overwhelming majority of our members. Maybe it’s a public school or upper middle class thing? Who knows, it’s all Greek to me.
