I always knew the anarchists did it.

Oh yeah - what have the anarchists ever built????

...it says something about you!! Perhaps the content of this 'shock letter' will be that the WSM are - yet again - engaging in real political activity, building the campaign against bin charges in Dublin and Cork, building for the gg anti-war demo in Shannon, producing the next issues of our paper and magazine. I know real political activity which actually engages with working class people in their day to day lives is probably an alien concept to whoever first posted this nonsense. What surprises me is that there are actually people out there who have nothing better to do with their lives than concoct stories which have no basis in reality. Get real, get involved in some political activity, do something useful with your life... or else just do the rest of us a favour and crawl back under the nearest rock.

The trick is that you need a framework of actual facts to hang the lies on. The fact that Ray left the WSM is a good start but you need more than one fact to make a mud pie. The rest of the post is just plain bizzare and leaves the mud pie looking pretty thin indeed. it makes me wonder who could be so keen to have a go at us and so dim as to do such a poor job.....

As for

"The letter, leaked to British anarchist paper "Class War" has been claimed to be "politcal dynamite".

I assume it's probably by the same person who wrote this posting and should make for a pretty amusing read - if it exists.

I've seen some odd rumours flying around in the past but this one is really strange. All the more so beacue while most weird stuff is built around some item that has some truth to is I can't think of anything even vaguely related to the 'bizare cult like wedding' mentioned above. Obviously somebody somewhere has got the wrong end of a very odd stick indeed.

I left the WSM because I didn't have the time or the energy anymore.
This has gone beyond boring, lads, and if its the best criticism of the WSM you can come up with it says a lot about them and you...

Who gives a fuck why Ray left? Are your lives really that pathetic that you find it of paramount importance to establish Ray's reasons for leaving? Why don't ya just leave the internal workings of the WSM to them to sort out. If they are messing things up then they are the ones who will suffer. I don't give a fuck! Most other people don't! And you shouldn't either!!!

What exactly is the nature of the crisis in the WSM, does it involve (whisper it) sex, also I would like to know why did Ray exit the scene?
would the Sun be interested? will Ray delete this comment? post nice we must all retain our sense of humour!!!!

lets censor any criticism ASAP in good old indy style

by Desperate Dan Sun Nov 17, 2002 01:42

I think we should be told

by Phuq Hedd Sun Nov 17, 2002 00:15

this is not news, is not true, is not anything.

Or perhaps it should be left as a monument to the stupidity of those that seek to disparage the WSM?
Its lack of wit or intelligence is striking...perhaps it would be better left up.

by where are the 'IRISH ANARCHISTS' Sat Nov 16, 2002 14:20

do they squat?
are they being criminalised?
or do they just talk?

this is truely shocking news, and spells scandal and disgrace for anyone connected to them. their political aspirations, crediblity and integrity lies ship wrecked on the shores of disgrace.

Public Safety and peace of mind can be found in voting for our paramilitaries. At least with paramilitaries you know what you're getting. If you have a working class socialist orientated paramilitary representative i suggest strongly that you vote for them. Be they Sinn fein or PUP.
