And thanks again to Matt Worley, who was my co-editor on the first two volumes (and involved in the early days of the third volume). I joked that Matt was Ralph Miliband, I was John Saville and Dan was Leo Panitch, passing on the editorial baton!

11 November being both Armistice Day and anniversary of Rhodesia’s UDÌ was exploited by the far right. This 1971 Times article mentions the UK’s National Front, which supported Rhodesia, laying a wreath on Remembrance Sunday in memory of Rhodesian airmen.

On 9 November, 1982, the alternative comedy sitcom The Young Ones debuted on the BBC.

48 years ago today (4 November 1977), the New Statesman published this article about divisions in the Communist Party of Great Britain. It is the first written use that I have found of the term ‘tankie’ to describe someone who (uncritically) supported the Soviet Union.
