I was in the SWP during the madness and I didn't want Smith expelled until after he had been disciplined. This was because I wanted him properly shown up for what he had done. I was proved right when, following his resignation, some twats argued that he had been 'hounded out' and had never actually been found guilty so therefore he was innocent. OMG and WTF. etc etc
To say that the following conference changed the policies is really missing the point. Everyone who had a backbone had resigned by that point. Those making the changes had already done the damage, already chased good comrades out of the party and already shown that they didn't care about the awful sexist rubbish their supporters were coming out with. So why should they be trusted when they had spent a year fighting against some of the very changes they then said they had always supported? Liars and scumbags. They reminded me of the sharks in finding Nemo.
