[edit] Origins

I have just received an email from Politicos which claims that the company was originally associated with the International Socialists, the forerunner of the Socialist Workers Party, but is now independent of it. Obviously, if there is a source going into this in more detail, it should be made use of in the article. Philip Cross 17:16, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Who is politicos? The bookshop in London? sbandrews (t) 15:04, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

• "Pluto Press has always had a radical political agenda. Founded in 1969 as a publishing arm of International Socialism, the forerunner of the Socialist Workers Party in the UK, in 1979 we broke with this political affiliation and became truly independent. Today, we represent authors from a wide range of progressive political viewpoints. With over 550 titles in print, Pluto Press is one of the world's leading radical book publishers. We publish more than 70 new titles each year"

.. that's from the pluto press web site! :) regards sbandrews (t) 15:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lawsuits

Took a quick look on the net, could only find the Sheikh bin Mahfouz lawsuit - are there any others? - The article seems very dismissive about the press, comments? sbandrews (t) 15:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
