Intriguing chap Sheridan. Can never wholly forgive him for his promise to shop supposed ‘agents provocateurs’ after the Poll Tax demo in 1990. However, as you say, his actions at Faslane are to be cheered (even if they do involve a fair degree of self-aggrandisement). He does well at raising points in the Scottish Parliament/media that wouldn’t get a mention otherwise.
Do agree with MonkeyBoy that the way the (ex)Militant always like to congregate around one ‘heroic’ figure is rather worrying, though I can’t understand what he’s on about in opposing the break-up of the imperialist British state.
All in all, Tommy, a useful fool as, uhhh, I think it was Stalin actually, put it.
