Yeah I know !
Apologies for being so vague.
However they have already threatened Oxford Mail and possibly other news & media agencies with Libel, had to make sure what I put down is relatively true from sources; even if subjectively and it was ok by people who gave me this info to let it be known publicly.
I'm sure there will be more on this subject in media up and coming.
I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT IN MY OPINION THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH PRINCIPAL AND WAY THINGS ARE RUN & GOING: THE HIGH TURNOVER OF STAFF & LECTURERS AND ACADEMIC TREATMENT OF STUDENTS IS A PRIMARY CONCERN.
WHATEVER CRITICISM, CONCERNS & ISSUES OF SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY & RUSKIN UCU, I 100% SUPPORT REINSTATEMENT AND DROPPING OF SUSPENSION OF LEE HARPER ALTHOUGH CRITICALLY.
I AM DEFINITELY NOT RUSKIN UCU !

This might give some background to previous liquidation & 're-structuring' of departments along with redundancies with SWP/Ruskin UCU were relatively 'slipperary' & unsupportive of and SWP lecturers benefited from.

Barghouti, Pape & Roberts are all decent names, would probably say something interesting. That does appear to be it though.

The talk i mentioned above was great, it was clear the argument was fully formed at that point. My suggestion that the book should be called We Killed The King wasn't taken up - obv.

This is a preliminary meeting to get RSU re-established !
Hey Nigel,
We revived a moribund RSU when I was there nine years ago. How long has it been out of action? PM if I can be of any help.

Northern chap. Very loud and bellicose. Considered an ultra loyal SWP hack. Been in the Party donkeys years. Someone like that signing a factional document is very odd. Must be really bad up there.

Was Comrade Delta involved in any of this?

A public statement on the website. That's an unusual move for the SWP.

The named people are.
Also I'm pretty sure the person referred to in the SWP reply was a big Delta supporter.

After the Delta debacle and the attempted (failed) cover up they probably thought it best to get out a Statement early this time. Can't blame them I suppose.
They do seem to have a recurring problem with bullying and sexual assault allegations. Leninist groups like that can attract some "Alpha" types.

Was there a sexual assault allegation here?
Genuine question, I don't have the will or the time to read all this stuff atm.
Although I did manage to dig back and find the UCU stuff. Might post later.
In Newcastle for a bit, (early 90's) came across Yunus, he is a bully himself, and like most (older male) SWP big hitters, had young women around him all the time.

No. I don't think there is an allegation of an assault in Newcastle. The allegations are of bullying, misogyny, harrassment etc.. I apologize if my post inferred that there was.
There was an allegation of sexual abuse in the UCU affair involving an SWP member. See here:
