This is a great article (and series). It's a litmus test for me with brit lefties as to what they think of Brian Crozier. Most dismissed him as unimportant. I was often ridiculed for saying he played a key part in anti-communism and the rise of the right in post war politics. Same people thought there was no plot against then pm harold wilson. It's an amusing irony that crozier is at least partly responsible for me becoming a teenage communist in the 1970s. Despite my dad being a staunch labour voter, he always bout the rag 'the daily express' which I read when he came home from work. The articles by crozier and his ilk about the dangers of communism were so unhinged, I just thought there must be something good about it. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Thank you very much. We're often left doing the Kubrick stare at Crozier's impact. Systems not people, of course, but HO-LEE SHEEEIT did that one man ruin so many things. Banging out the Thatcher soft coup in a weekend, nbd!
