ALAN McGUIRE welcomes a biography of the French semiologist and philosopher

WRITING this in Walton-on-the-Naze, part of the Clacton constituency, after a very busy day last Thursday.
It all began early afternoon, hanging round for ages next to Worthing Pier alongside Labour comrades from both our local constituencies, East Worthing & Shoreham and Worthing West, waiting for Feargal Sharkey.
Feargal was the singer of the legendary Undertones, whose single Teenage Kicks I must have played at least 50 times during my 14-year tenure as stadium announcer and DJ at Brighton & Hove Albion. His quavering vocal style was unique and brilliant, making him one of the greatest punk vocalists of all time.

The bard recalls the Seething Wells, and how the old anti-fascist fight is back again
