Thank you, it's good to discover wonderful musicians.

"His [Thompson's] Marxism was, however, leavened by two other traditions, that of radical Protestantism, from the 17th-century Levellers and Diggers to the later dissenters such as Quakers and Baptists, and of Romanticism, most powerfully articulated by William Blake..." sounds particuarly English.

Apologies to Steve Bell perhaps?

A good read though.

Can't find a way to edit posts for spelling errors. Can it be done?

Yes. Exactly that - kudos.
