I have crossed sabres with non-comrade Carnell before. I am inclined now to
think that perhaps he performs a useful role on this list.  Ever so often he
pops up with his grovelling, cringing,  capitalist lap-dog act and makes a
fool of himself.

At the same time, however, he succeeds in reminding all and sundry how
bankrupt are the apologists of Capital.
