Campbell cited David Aaronovitch's description of Littlejohn's novel as a "400-page recruiting pamphlet for the BNP". Littlejohn responded (referring to Aaronovitch): "What else do you expect from an overgrown student union leader who used to be a member of the Communist Party?". He later boasted that he would include the quote on the cover of the book when it was reprinted. However, due to poor sales of the original publication, this reprinting has not taken place. Self agreed with Aaronovitch's comments, said that he had read half of Littlejohn's book, and he described its author as "a kind of Tom Sharpe for the far right". Littlejohn said that he should "read the book in its totality", to which Self retorted "Why?... Does it turn into Tolstoy at page 205?".

What has Littlejohn to do with the BNP?
Aaronovitch is a neo-marxist who was in the communist party.
I'd love to listen to the whole debate.
Littlejohn wholly out of his depth against Self
Been hoping to hear this for years. Got the full thing?
Unfortunately I don't.
Does anyone know where the full debate is?
Yes ! Yes ! . . . but what about his bad points ?
