[That's easy: Heartfield is is a right-winger masquerading as a lefty. He's a fraud tip to toe. Consider his affiliation with the execrable online "Spiked":]

Spiked is a British Internet magazine focusing on politics, culture and society. Its analysis is derived from Marxist and libertarian theses. The magazine focuses on issues of freedom and state control, science and technology, as well as domestic politics and international affairs and seeks to counter accepted thought, such as multiculturalism and Western interventionism. ...

Left-wing publications and environmentalists like the Guardian writer George Monbiot accuse the magazine of pursuing a right-wing, pro-corporate agenda under the guise of being left-wing. ... Critics have also accused the magazine's contributors of forming front groups and of 'entryism'; infiltrating pressure groups, think tanks and governmental advisory committees to pursue a right-wing pro-corporate agenda, forming what has been called the LM Network. ... They are supported by financial sponsorship from numerous individuals and organisations such as the Research Councils UK plus corporations including Pfizer, Orange and Syngenta.

Spiked is edited by Brendan O'Neill following Mick Hume's departure in January 2007, and features regular contributions from James Heartfield [and] Prof. Frank Furedi.
