This little man rushes into a bank in Prague and approaches the security guard. 'Can I hide in your strong-room for half-an-hour or so? I'm on the run from some people to whom I owe money and was hoping you might cache a small Czech.'

But is he though? I rather think most people would regard him as a harmless eccentric. I did know him, briefly, in the late 1970s, when he was in one of the smaller Trotskyist groups, Worlers' Fight (or would it have been Workers Fight?!Originally posted by Bryn View Post) and, from memory, one of the leading lights of CAMRA, and I think he was talking about setting himself up as an alternative weather forecasting service. He already conveyed that strange bearing of vagueness. He did appear in a series of television programmes titled "Whatever Happened to the Left?" or some such title, a number of years ago, and gave a good but standard account of The Transitional Programme (which I won't bother people with, it can be located on Wiki). In fact I may have them on VHS - will check.

Dangerous in his organising gatherings of those failing to take preventative action against SARS-CoV-2 infection, thus encouraging further cases of CIVID-19 with consequent deaths from/with it. It is quite possible to be both highly intelligent and severely delusional. More and more home-printed stickers promoting the ideas he pushes have been appearing in the area in which I live.
