   so I thought I might explain why I have decided
   to join LPF.

I think it's a sad reflection on a society that it's members consider
membership of an organisation whose mandate is to (in a nutshell, as I see
it) fight monopolies in a specific industry as a sign of socialism.

I also find it amusing to reflect that the Morning Star is the name of a
newpaper run by the Communist Party of Great Britain....
