Wow, where did all your students go?

That's the last time I accept an ageist gibe from a Swoppie about the SPGB.

I am surprised how many are there. That I take it is the opening meeting. That picture can't be very old.

Anyone been following this btw? Someone's got a minor axe to grind with the SP on the falling rate of profit theory, and was banned from the summer school because of it!

I'm kind of feeling sympathetic to the SP leadership on this one tbh as the guy seems a bit of a loon. There are serious issues about democracy in the party though (which is a big reason why I left).

what is the falling rate of profit theory apart from the the lets invest the money we just won on the dogs in the Ladbrokes casino machine bit?

That is a tiny turnout compared even to a few years ago. The opening rally used to be in Friends Meeting House and hold a couple of thousand, packed with young people. Changed times, there's no more than 7/800 in that room and you can see all the longstanding loyalists like Roddy Slorack and Paul Holborrow wheeled in to stand by their man. Looks like a Countryside Alliance meeting

Yes, not the main hall.

Back to 'reality'.

I love how there is a complete summary of what happened at Marxism including the closing rally next Monday. That saves a lot of money in tickets. Of course if you really want to hear what is said at the meetings it will all be on YouTube in due course. That saves even buying the CDs as used to happen in the old days.
