[edit] Publisher of Red Mole

Actually, the IGM did publish "The Red Mole". Maybe later they changed the name to "Red Weekly", but I have had the "Red Mole" in my hands quite often enough. There is also this famous photo of John Lennon holding a copy thf "Red Mole" at some demonstration. --84.129.105.221 15:39, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

A Google search turned out this interview of Tariq Ali with John Lennon for the "Red Mole" ", 1971. : http://homepage.ntlworld.com/carousel/pob12.html

See also Tariq Alis account here: http://squawk.ca/lbo-talk/0002/1782.html where T.A. mentions that he "suggested that Robin Blackburn, who had recently joined the IMG and was an editor of The Red Mole, might join us and he agreed. " --84.129.105.221 15:47, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Indeed, it was Black Dwarf which was broader, and though Red Weekly looked broader at the beggining, it was indeed an IMG project. --Duncan 17:40, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ireland

I just discussed this comments "They were firm believers in Leon Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution going so far as to claim that the IRA's bombing campaign in London indicated that the permanent revolution was coming to Britain. " with three former IMG leaders. They were in different currents of the IMG, but all deny this accuracy of this comment. --Duncan 17:40, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I have pinned this down. In 1968, International described the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland under the headline 'Permanent Revolution comes to the UK'.
