Reflections of a stormy petrel

When I was in the UK on my trip the other week, I read an editorial in one of the newspapers in the hotel lobby. In it the writer noted what he called (something like) "dangerous hardline Marxism" (or somesuch) that he believes has taken root in a few European countries. One of the dangers he cited were specifically what the article you linked to in your post. I can't recall everything else, only bits and pieces, but I could see what he was going on about. He was supposed to have been someone in the British Labour Party, and he said he was worried because Labour seemed particularly open to some aspects of that which he was scared.
