The self proclaimed Revolutionary Socialist Columnist Southpawpunch (see what is believed to be the only known public picture of him left - of course) admits here on in a comment he made (bizarrely) on my post about the “Roding Valley Way" (comment 29 January) that he is actually a paid double agent of the Labour Party!
He confesses to receiving “my cheques, direct from Labour HQ”
His mission was to ensure the Party had “no credible” Left wing enemies. By “scoring many direct hits on the muddle-headed, shilly shallying of the useless Labour 'Left'(sic)”.
Southpawpunch claims also to “have managed to completely discredit the ostensible Trotsykist take on the world by making the most ultraleft points this side of Left Communism (and showing their vast rightward shift from Bolshevism)”
Well, if this is true then job well done Matey!
Southpawpunch is obviously a very busy chap. As well as causing problems for my blogging mucker and keen Labour Party supporter Dave Osler (see here) he is also apparently “a Liberal Democrat candidate with a possibility of getting into parliament this time”.

Some of the links in the article above are great; I can’t think of anything showing the "muddle-headed, shilly shallying of the Labour Left (sic)" more than the McDonnell Labour leadership campaign, where as I reported on my website, he stood on a platform to the right of the Limehouse Declaration, the initial 1981 policy statement of the SDP. Some of my soon-to-be Lib Dem parliamentary colleagues are not quite as right-wing as this lot.
Just to be clear on what I wrote, in case of any inadvertent ambiguity on my part, when I wrote I "have managed to completely discredit the ostensible Trotsykist take on the world" I mean that I have shown how supposed hard Trots have slipped a million miles from Bolshevik politics e.g. by comparing their support for armed groups fighting for national self-determination in Ireland in the 80s to their descent into national chauvinism, and near flag waving about Iraq and Afghanistan now.
Osler’s remarks about me and his case are both ludicrous and inaccurate slurs (e.g. if the state was really bothered in finding out my ID, it would be two clicks away for them - they wouldn’t need a court case to find it out) but, for Osler’s benefit (and unlike him), I will keep my peace on this until after (I hope) he wins the case.
Sadly, I have no mountaineering ability, save over prison walls, so that isn’t my photo but the one is - http://www.usvetdsp.com/story36.htm
nah John,
SPP is taking the piss, altho he might have been an agent provocateur I doubt it, most of the stuff he came out with he seemed to believe it.
But who knows?
I hope Dave does well in the Court case.
PS: thanks for your support of Seismic Shock :)
Hi SPP
The photo is surely you (or your twin) without a beard?
Yes, those dipsticks that wave the flag for terrorism and rejoice at the murder of innocents are indeed shameful.
I still don’t understand why you won’t give Dave a statement?
BTW I do think you and Dave ought to kiss and make up. Perhaps we could have some sort of an East London 5th International to sort these things out?
Hi Modernity
Surely everything SPP says is gospel? Do you mean he could be telling me porkies?
Dave should be ok with twitter but the law as you know is bananas. I am sure however he appreciates your support.
