New Left Review I/70, November-December 1971

Richard Clements

Letter from the editor of ‘Tribune’

Dear Comrade,

I much regret that I have to take issue with the article by Tom Nairn in nlr No 69. Having for so long appreciated the scholarship of nlr you may realise how appalled I was to see Mr Nairn making the following statement: ‘Inside, the editor Richard Clements outlined the long history of the left’s opposition to the Common Market. As a cold-war, capitalist conspiracy, the actions contrast strikingly with those of the neutral and socialist Britain we have enjoyed since 1945.’ (my italics)
