Spion
I hear ya
The SWP/Respect used an attack on bengalis to highlight racism .. i suspect those bengalis would not mind .. yes?i used an attack on jews to highlight a group racialising politics .. i suspect those jews would not mind .. yes?
The SWP/Respect used an attack on bengalis to highlight racism .. i suspect those bengalis would not mind .. yes?i used an attack on jews to highlight a group racialising politics .. i suspect those jews would not mind .. yes?
MC5 .. there is NO article that says " we the SWP do hereby use the benagli muslims for political gain" .. that i would have thought would be obvious! what there has been has, though, has been a concerted attempt by the SWP to court the bengali community by highlighting attacks, racial cultural and military, whether they are racial or anti muslim or not for dishonest political gain .. if you can not see this i can not help you see this ..
The SWP/Respect used an attack on bengalis to highlight racism .. i suspect those bengalis would not mind .. yes?
that's a yes isn't it
so why are you politicising an attack are you the spoke person for the gorup attacked?
if not what right do you have to do so on their behalf.
precisley...
Galloway is quoted as standing down and making way for a Bengali to stand at the next election. This is empowering the Bengali community.
There has been no political gain for the SWP though has there?
The comments (CPGB/Socialist Unity) you posted I'll leave to one side as they are sect driven.
Now I see you've even changed the question I'm waiting for an answer to!
It appears that you now think that racist attacks and war shouldn't be reported at all?
Galloway is quoted as standing down and making way for a Bengali to stand at the next election. This is empowering the Bengali community.
How?
1)eh??? they gained their only councillors in the whole country from this scam!! though now one has crossed to the tories LOL!
2)MC you didn't even read those qoutes did you LOL .. the comment on the CPGB site was from a Dr Shamsuddin Ahmed, an ex Respect activist. The qoute on Socialist Unity is from John rees er of the SWP
3) i have changed what? you asked why have i not given sources of swp using race attacks .. i have .. take any respect election leaflet any socialist worker and you will see it .. it is bleedin obvious .. the swp have concentrated on attacks OF all kinds against muslims as they thought they could gain politically ( it seems they are having second thoughts now LOL )
4) of course ( all ) racial attacks should be reported and war BUT HONESTLY .. did you read the report Playing the Ethnic Card, and how the bengalis have been used, yet
5) not my qoute and i agree with your sentiment .. the second one sentance is of more importance " .. the Iraq war was Respect’s main campaigning issue, and it was portrayed as an antiIslamic war." .. disgusting dangerous stuff
YOu like this?
http://www.respectcoalition.org/pdf/f444.pdf
or this .. doesn't mention oil once extraordinary!http://www.respectcoalition.org/pdf/f450.pdf
and what a gullible man it seems to me my friend .. and you are not even a member of the SWP yet you trust that they have not used attacks, not used the oil wars, not used muslims and not used bengalis .. yes strange indeed ..What a strange man you are.
1) The SWP gained councillors? They were all Respect members and not members of the SWP when elected. The SWP have gained nothing from this and furthermore, lost quite a bit as a matter of fact.
2) So what if it's a quote from John Rees of the SWP? Do you think I'm a fan now? Rees was criticising Galloway's tactics. The very tactics you're criticising now btw.
The quote from Dr Shamsuddin Ahmed, who in that article has joined the Liberal Democrats, is an interesting choice durruti, as it contradicts your argument that the SWP were 'using' Bengali's. From that CPGB piece, the good Doctor is the one whose mobilizing Bengali supporters to back him against the SWP.
3) You're saying here that all Respect election leaflets and all copies of Socialist Worker contain attacks of all kinds against Muslims. What an incredibly stupid thing to say when it is clearly untrue.
4) More stupidity.
5) The opposition to the war in Iraq has alway's being presented as an anti-imperialist war by the STWC. The quote you gave was from Galloway not the SWP you muppet.
As for the links to the leaflets? One's about uniting against racism and Islamophobia and the other one focuses on the war and also asks people to unite against racism and Islamophobia. What a strange man you are.
1) codswallop .. they were paraded as SWP members whene it suited the SWP and you know it
2) he he rees just illustrates how shifty re the swerps these days .. Dr Ahmed? ditto .. and this is the point MC the so called revsoc SWP getting involved with all this bullshit ..
3)? eh?? no is said articles in SW and election materials over and over have used attacks/the wars etc etc
4) so you do not believe differrent political parties have used the bengalis at all now!! not labour not respect not swp not anyone?
5) rubbish indeed just check one of those leaflets .. are you honestly denying teh swp has not in ANY WAY AT ALL bought in relegion to help build themselves?
6) nieve nieve nieve .. and you are not even in the bloody sw .. do the right thing mate and just join them .. there is no none so believing of the ( zig zag )party line at the moment on urban than you
specifically the M18 leaflet does NOT mention anti imperialism and indeed does not mention oil (unbelivable tbh) it gives NO reasons for the wars .. now that is well strange .. BUT what it DOES say is that 'British Muslims are Under Threat!' ..
and what a gullible man it seems to me my friend .. and you are not even a member of the SWP yet you trust that they have not used attacks, not used the oil wars, not used muslims and not used bengalis .. yes strange indeed ..
Galloway is quoted as standing down and making way for a Bengali to stand at the next election. This is empowering the Bengali community.
MC5 I am still not too sure what you meant by this?
Could you explain?
Yes it does and the leaflet also mentions the continued attacks on Muslims in Britain. These include 3,000 police raids since 9/11 and a large increase in stop and search powers.
The rest is rant and cant (from you that is ).
Let's hope for a repeat of the ¡No pasarán! stance... in favour of our Jewish cousins in case there's any doubt.
By that logic you have no right to speak about palestinian or iraqi suffering.
And who appointed you to defend Respect?
don't lie MC5 .. the M18 leaflet does NOT mention anti imperialism and does NOT mention oil or any cause reasons for the war ..
here it is .. and by the way .. off the top off your head any reasons why teh british state might be raiding muslim homes?
post reported bullying and abusivetell ou waht i'll ask one of their senior leaders about it when i see them on saturday shall i see if they have any problem with me speaking on their behalf what do you reckon, they might say...
And as i have stated repeatdly i'm not defending resepect you daft moron learn to fucking read. the entire thread. i am saying that using an attack on jews to make poltical captial for your own agenda is abhorant. which is what duritti and balders and now you seem to be doing...
what is it that you do that's so fucking radical becky other than use jews who've been attacked with rocks to make your potlical points...
fucking surplus you bladers duritti and any other cunt that defends this action...
Sheer incompetence springs to mind. Anyway, shouldn't it be terrorists that they target instead of the innocent? So, a cheerleader for the state now durutti.
The occupation of Iraq not imperialism then?
I would have thought that the point that people 'were lied to about the attack on Iraq' is patently obvious a reference to the real reason - oil. Afterall, the main slogan of the STWC has been for some time 'No Blood for Oil'.
No matter what you write durutti all can see your motives, which is, as Garf writes, to make political capital from your own agenda. I agree with Garf that this is an abhorent thing to do and worse, continually derails any interesting topic and discussion started on threads here. :mad
So why not take your trolling, smears and innuendos and stick them where the sun don't shine eh?
post reported bullying and abusive
post reportedi have you bang to rights on this MC - that leaftlet is disgusting poilitically and yet you accuse me of trolling and smears etc etc! LOL i give up
and yes i do have a political agenda .. and yes i have used this attck on jews to raise it as it is entirely relevent in the area and circumstance
- that groups do NOT racialise politics
- that groups do NOT use ethnic minorites ..
do you agree with me on this?
and talking of smears you say i am now a cheerleader for the state cos i say it is not suprising the state have been looking for terrorists ( and those who carried out the london bombings are scum terrorists like those in the state who invaded iraq ..scum ) in teh muslim community! LOL what do you expect them to do? pretend it did not happen?? fgs
- that groups do NOT racialise politics
- that groups do NOT use ethnic minorites ..
thought i'd do this for a while!Shouldn't you be starting an anti-immigrant thread by now?
thought i'd do this for a while!
garfield i have reported your post above .. yet again you are being abusive and bullying as you disagree with my pov .. this is inexcusable .. i disagree with your pov ( and many others on regular occassions ) yet am i abusing you? do i rant and swear etc at them? no! so do not to me! OK?
.. tbh i think it is cowardice, as i do not believe you would not do this in the real world .. and p.s i am significantly older than you so please do not call me son ok?
as i have explained before the context is that this is a ward represented by an SWP councillor where the swp/respect have used other attacks and the wars etc for political gain .. the only person who could possibly be offended is an swp supporrter .. i am 100% that those who were attacked would not have any problem in what i am saying
and p.s. probably should not have used the word shyster should you?
This thread is generating an awful lot of reported posts and to be quite frank it's taking the piss a bit.
Since I have my mod hat on now I won't comment on the content, but if people really want to have a long, pointless argument where nobody is going to change their position, far be it from me to stop them, and I've not had any comments by others who would like to discuss the original topic and are being put off (though if there are any by all means send them in). Mods are not here to be referees though, or approve arguments (except in extreme cases which this doesn't fall under) and I doubt any other mods here would be minded to censure "robust debate" given that people are pushing it anyway, though perhaps it could be toned down a little.
I think what George Galloway is saying to Bengali's here (to paraphrase his syle) is that they have every right to represent themselves in this democracy of ours.
