SWP expulsions and squabbles

The woman who has been denigrated and damaged by the bitter internal processes she has endured leaves with dignity and honour, and her statement, to these eyes at least, is replete with integrity.

It appears that the conscience of the SWP has been squandered, and it isn't really clear that those who remain could be capable of rescuing it. A sad day indeed.

I remember the allegation that X's email was hacked. As I understood it the evidence supporting the claim was that a range of private emails had been given to the CC and she was the only person who had received all of them. I hadn't heard that whoever accessed her email account also deleted one if the emails that was used as evidence for her complaint!
 
If 2 women say similar things about a man, both accounts are more likely. For instance with Jimmy Saville, there was no DNA evidence but all the women showed he had a pattern of behaviozur. So it's even more unlikely either of these women are lying. As to 'any advance', I am resigning due to the misogyny,rape apologism and denial of the reality of men's oppression of women- will email Charlie now.
 
Pity people stayed in at all, I can recount many examples of bullying, intimidation, unpleasant behaviour, etc ,by the comrades over many years as I am sure others can..

Neale's accusation openly suggests that they were just her private emails rather than collective ones relating to the dispute and that some digging needed to be reached conclude that something was amiss - so simply, that they were stolen:

Finally, another secret. In early July Charlie presented 20 emails among opposition members to the CC and then the national committee. All 20 emails had been sent to “J”, who at that point was bringing a complaint of sexual harassment against Delta.There is now an official party investigation into the status and origin of these emails. The sooner its conclusions are public, the better.
We are lost in secrets.

It doesn't sound like, from reading the resignation, that the official party investigation happened/did anything.
 
Actually surprised by the number of young(ish) women resigning. I didn't think there were half a dozen of them still in the SWP in the first place.
 
Not that I have much interest in the SWP, but I know an infrequent Urbanite that's resigned today after a silly proportion of his life spent devoted to it. Is it all over?
 
A normally reliable exSWPer says on twitter she's seen 15 resignations in the last hour. I've seen 8 or so.

I think the bulk of the opposition will go.
 
According to Jen I (who would probably be in a position to know), there will be 200+, possibly 300+, opposition resignations. The bulk of them to come as signatories to a collective statement in January. Plenty will jump the gun before then.
