Last Saturday there was also a 'reply' to the SO article on the WRP's anti-semitism, covering three pages - that is, one quarter of 'the first multi-colour daily paper with a four figure circulation' was given over to it.

It accused us of being 'state provocateurs', of 'setting up' the WRP leaders for assassination by agents of the Israeli state, and other idiocies. It made a great fuss over alleged inaccuracies in last week's SO report of their Conway Hall meeting - from which we were excluded, apart from an unrecognised but inexperienced reporter.
