I'm sure you can appreciate my cynicism.
You write of regret that you did not pursue a more active political agenda whilst younger, and yet you now tell us that you were beating up fascists in Southall and housing striking miners back in 1984. In addition you have " a folder full of paperwork" (which has since become a "few old charge sheets and a few newspaper clippings") as evidence of your leftist credentials. I doubt your charge sheets would tell us whose side you were on anyway, would they?
Thank you for your kind invitation but I'll pass.
You have frequently displayed a, shall we say, more conservative attitude in matters of racial equality which simply does not fit with your alleged past. Even stating that race-relations is now an industry - which makes absolutely no fvcking sense - shines a "spotlight" on your actual position.
You either oppose prejudice towards minorities or you don't.
