Keith Flett (born 1956 in London) is a British socialist historian, author, and prolific letter writer in the British press. Contents 1 Activities 2 Publications 3 Philosophy of activism 4 References // Activities Letters from "Keith Flett, London N17" are regularly published in the press, literary and political journals, advancing his favoured causes of socialism and the Beard Liberation Front. Flett's contributions appear in the letters pages of the London Review of Books, New Statesman and Tribune. Flett has claimed that his first published letter was in The Guardian, criticising an article by Eric Hobsbawm on Soviet history. Flett has written and edited a number of history books. He has also written for the left-wing newspapers The Morning Star and the Socialist Worker. He is an active supporter of the Socialist Workers Party. He is convenor of the London Socialist Historians Group and the president of the Haringey Trades Council. Flett is the 'organiser' of the Beard Liberation Front (which campaigns against the trend of New Labour politicians removing their facial hair to show a more moderate, presentable, image to the public). He is also associated with Campaign for Real Conkers. In this Flett forms part of a British satirical tradition of using tongue-in-cheek flippancy to make more serious political points.

ISBN 1847181848 Philosophy of activism Flett has emphasised the importance of being involved in the affairs of one's homeland. In August 2010 he wrote: In the age of Twitter, Facebook, blogs, texts and YouTube, why bother to write a letter to the editor? I use all the above formats, but it is only when I have a letter published in a national paper that people stop me to say: ”I saw your letter”. They hardly ever say “I saw your tweet” or “I saw your post on Facebook”. The reason is obvious: a letter in the Guardian or Independent will reach many thousands of people. Other, newer media will reach hundreds if you are lucky. Letters to the editor deliver impact – one of the reasons why those of us who are politically active want to impart our thoughts to a wider audience in the first place.[1] References ^ Putting Pen to Paper Still Gives You Power, 23 August 2010 Routledge, Paul, Bumper Book of British Lefties, 2003, Politicos (ISBN 1-84275-064-X) BBC: Pupils wear goggles for conkers, 4/10/2004 Flett, Keith.
