This is interesting, and should be worrying for the SWP. HM was one of the very few areas where an SWP inspired initiative has won wider support outside of their own ranks. That the Indian organisers felt that anger at the rape crisis within the SWP was so great that they felt it necessary to...
Well your lads hung around India and sundry other countries (cough, Ireland, cough) being unwanted guests for more than a century, so. . .
What you say about Ivan is true though - but he was still preferable to Fritz.
Here's Callinicos's response to getting the boot from the Indian academics. It's from his facebook page but is doing the rounds now on social media. If (unlike me of course) you are a particularly cruel and heartless bastard who enjoys seeing people get their just desserts it just might raise a...
Meanwhile, we've had Jimmy Savile hot on the heels of Rochdale and Worboys. What the fuck are you trying to "just say"?
And increasingly common here thanks to the EU Posted Workers' Directive. You're talking about the extremely privileged end of the employment market. By definition, the...
One of the people who took part in that email exchange is in our neck of the woods (and I didn't think she was a student to be honest). The person that the weekly worker reported being genuinely distressed by a female member of the SWP disputes committee being at her workplace because she is a...
PROF. CALLINICOS IS WERY ANNOYED INDEED
Oh the inconvenience, the expense, it really is too bad……………
LETTER TO ORGANIZING COMMITTEE OF HISTORICAL MATERIALISM CONFERENCE, DELHI
Dear Organizing Committee,
I was very surprised to receive your communication. You ask me ‘to withdraw [my]...
The monkey man is back. In Mumbai, apparently kidnapping kids, and raping women before eating them.

Who can forget the original appearance of the Monkey Man? He...
He is, amongst other things, a proper military historian. Which can only leave the above sleight of hand that you have highlighted here, to be deliberate.
"Nationalist protest, India, 1942 - where the British had more troops deployed than were fighting the Japanese
This made the war harder, longer, and bloodier than was necessary. In 1942, the British had more troops policing India than fighting the Japanese. Nationalist demonstrations were...
Right. Had time to go back and read this article. Neil makes the point that for Britain the war was about defending Empire, and its economic interest of the Empire,
and underlined the point by pointing out that Britain had more troops subjugating India, than fighting the Japanese, and you don't...
Obviously it's a better situation than what we have at present if the sex industry were to become all-women, but given the reality of sex workers and johns, all-female brothels with protection afforded by women would be undercut by lone possibly trauma-survivors or former abuse victims or hard...
that is the law in the UK too, as it should be. There is no need to attack Sweden's laws on rape (which are probably better than the UK's, altho even less well implemented) to defend Assange.
What about if you go to Bangkok? Who is groping women and under aged women there? Look at the attitudes to rape in this country with the percentage of people who think that women who have had a drink or wear short skirts are somehow partly responsible for getting raped. I'm not saying that...
Yes I entirely agree with you. Whilst we need to acknowledge the particular savagery of Axis militarism/fascism during WWII it is all to easy to discount the ruthless undoubted brutality of the Allied powers. eg,The extraordionary destructiveness of the Allied advance across Europe following...
From CIA world factbook entry for Bangladesh

"Trafficking in persons > current situation > Bangladesh is a source and transit country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and...
Ummm, I think the point was that according to eric jarvis - Bengali gangs based in the UK are statistically just as culpable when it comes to grooming vulnerable UK indigenous children for rape.
I see no proof of that in your link.
