About MeHello and welcome to my website. My name is Jyoti Mishra. According to my server stats, there’s an 83% probability you’re viewing this page because in 1997 I had a brief flirt with fame when my band, White Town, had an international number one hit with my song ‘Your Woman.’ You can find out plenty of detail behind what happened then in some of the rants on this site. Though I’ve left out the bit about EMI reducing me to crying in the bath. (You can listen to and buy all my non-EMI stuff by clicking here!) I was born in India and moved to Britain with my family when I was three. We moved around a lot when I was young and I ended up in Derby at around the age of ten. I was the annoying know-it-all kid at school, a title I held alongside fattest lad. I left school at 16 specifically to go on the dole and join a band. I’ve been a songwriter since then. I became a revolutionary Marxist in the ’80s, via the orthodox Trots known as the Militant Tendency. It was the best education I’ve ever had. Nowadays I tend more towardsu0026hellip;

Bluesky Deep Entryism

I just posted this on #Bluesky :

“Are you on Mastodon? It’s decentralised so, unlike Bluesky, it can never be bought and sold or otherwise en-shittified.

Give it a go! https://mas.to/invite/Q7CqS4tA

Remember, if it can be sold to a fascist wanker, it probably will be.”

Let’s see if anyone bites. ?

And, yes, I am practising #DeepEntryism on social media. After 38 years of being a Trot, it comes naturally.* ??

*I mean, this post is a lil bit of a giveaway ?
