Useful Idiots
Last week I said I thought Tom Nairn had headed into 'useful idiot' territory.
Martin Kettle has an article today in the Guardian headed 'Useful idiots have always apologised for terrorists', and says:
We too face a revolt whose activists are often relatively prosperous young people with a romantic attachment to violence, apologised for by a surprisingly large number of the comfortably disaffected - the people Lenin once called useful idiots.
Glad to see the same message getting through here.
