Not only that, but he seems to object to non-existent leftists. Scargill has nothing to do with the SSP (which are the initials of the Scottish Socialist Party). Rather, he formed his own party called the Socialist Labour Party, which does reasonably well in old mining areas. Which is to say that there is no such entity as "Scargill's SSP". Could Michael be Palast's researcher? I think we should be told.
