C'mon, Gary.  Anti-Communism is the one solid plank of the modern Trotsky
program.  It is the *only* reason they are promoted by imperialism, though
with the demise of the Soviet Union, their services are coming at quite a
discount.  Rodwell lives neither on his feet or on his hands; he sits on his
fat ass in an exclusive private school in Sweden and issues his dotty
revolutionary pronouncements; Adam Rose is an SWPer, which means he has been
on the same side of the class barricades as the imperialists (and, I might
add, the fascists) since 1950, when Tony Cliff supported the bombing of
Korean villagers by US B-29s ("We must not support bloody Russia").  Today,
he traffics with assorted scum like Lech Walesa (who gives credence to the
view that a genuinely "working class" government, left to its own
inclinations, will by nature be fascist), the Afghan mujadaheen, and Hamas. 
As for Bos, personal experience shows that he well suited to his nickname
from Mel Brooks' *History of the World, Part 1*.  

Oh, and you ask "which breach"?  The breach left by a rapidly evaporating UN
"coalition" that, for various reasons, can no longer stomach the Hitler-like
behavior of Clinton and his "liberal" Democrats.  As I said; time for the
British Social Democrats to get on with it.
