Some of you may remember the wonderful True Christians Unite site, where one of my friends plied his trade as an octogenarian former military man with unreconstructed views on... well, pretty much everything. You may also have seen me post occasional updates on his latest work-avoiding project, the No Good Boyo blog. This is a rough approximation of his actual self, but is no less amusing and rather more erudite.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, here's his explanation, following a drinking session with a mutual Iranian friend, on the reasons for the failure of the Revolution, plus some rather more random thoughts on the future Socialist Revolution in Britain. Enjoy.
