SWP expulsions and squabbles

[emanymton]

It appears a post has been made on this thread after Nigel's, but I can't see it?

eta- turned up when I posted, most odd.

 

[Nigel Irritable]

Yes I had the same glitch until your post revealed the previous one

 

[Nigel Irritable]

According to twitter, NUS conference had a strong undercurrent of SWP bating. Barred from having a stall inside, their stall outside tipped over, Labour shitheels earning feminist points by denouncing them, someone calling for them to be exterminated etc etc etc

Yes indeedy, more at http://liverpoolclassaction.wordpress.com/2014/04/09/swp-not-welcome-in-liverpool/

The authors of that blog aren't really doing themselves any favours tho.

If I was in the SWP I'd be giving out leaflets with all the stuff about labour party paedos, cover-ups of care abuses and rapists and the like that the fash have been collecting for decades at the next one.

I'm getting more than a whiff of 'maybe if I swear a lot people will believe my pretensions at being working class.'

 

[Nigel Irritable]

Perhaps more significantly, NUS appear to have disaffiliated from UAF.

Indeed, not to mention the whole idea that "I cant be anti-working class because I am working class" is blatantly bollocks

You can taste the self-regard.

Whatever you think of the tactics being used here please don't let that make you start feeling sorry for these bastards. The last line of that blog:

The SWP covered up rape, threw survivors under the bus and intimidate anyone who tries to confront them about it (anyone remember the Glasgow anti-bedroom tax rally?). UAF grasses militant antifascists to the police.

this is the bottom line. A few stalls being turned over is fuck all really when you think what this group has done and the damage they've inflicted not just to themselves and the individuals involved in the issue itself but the entire radical left over the years.

Labour right wing (& AWL) grabbing a left cover to do what they've always wanted to do anyway, shock horror.

That's that then - the edl and the BNP will take advantage of this weakening and division of the antifascist movement and sieze parliament in a Kiev style coup

politics as self-satisfaction

the BNP were actually driving Sheffield city centre this morning, loudly proclaiming that if we hated corporations, and were against fracking, they were the only party to vote for!

Of course. But, having come into fairly regular contact with their sort, I don't have much time for the kinds of posturing clowns who wrote this and pull those stunts.

There is no danger of anyone here feeling sorry for the SWP.

who do you write this shit for? like we don't fucking know. on page 568 of this thread.

I got a text about that from whatever that new antifascist grouping is calling itself now, just said they were on the Moor with a van and loud hailer - wondered what was going on. (Stuck in Chesterfield so couldn't go and have a look)

Fair enough

Once again I am struck with the impression that someone who has always hated the SWP is just glad to have a really, really big stick to beat them with, with no regard at all for the women involved. It might just be me but is there a certain amount of 'glee' about these events in some quarters?

Apparently old one eye has come out against the bedroom tax as well.

Sadly I don't think it is just you.

Five years ago they would have been battered for doing that.

it would seem that is their first post, they seem quite juvenile

She's an FE student from a working class background

 

[treelover]

I know, but she is still Labour Students, etc

 

[Nigel Irritable]

Oi belboid is it true that cockers is in the ISN?

 

[belboid]

apparently so, joined with the ACI lot

In other news, the 'Racist Chair' split may no longer be the daftest in political history - in Germany the (nazi) NPD has split over its leader (one Herr Marx) having been seen tucking into a penis shaped cake. The 'Peniskuchen-Affare' has apparently torn the party in two.
