Attila The Stockbroker: 40 Years in Rhyme
Zorch Productions
 

THIS spoken word album by Morning Star columnist Attila the Stockbroker has been launched to celebrate his 40th anniversary as a punk poet. Set to dub reggae music from Kingsley Salmon this is a stunning collection of political poetry relevant to our current times of austerity and privatisation.

Afghanistan gives us a history lesson of the country from the hippy trail of the ’70s, to the time of its socialist government and consequent destruction by US destabilisation paving the way for the Taliban, 9-11 and subsequent wars.

Attila poses the question of how different things may have been if the secular socialists had been allowed to continue with their social programmes and the forerunners of the Taliban and al-Qaida had been defeated before they had begun.
