Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8from the list of speakers it seems as if the SWP dont want the 'S' word to be mentioned. I bet you that Eamon McCann wont use the word "socialism" once in his speech. And probably wont mention he's a SWP member
It's an anti war demo, stupid. You don't need to be a socialist to attend. No doubt SWP will be selling their papers and discussiong socialism with those interested.
"By the way", why don't you do something useful like help build the anti war movement instead of stupid comments like yours?
Saturday’s anti-war march "Belfast” should not be another recruitment drive for the so-called socialist party's.
We all know where they stand on the war issue, would it not be better if they all march behind one anti-war banner instead of their own tribal colours, they could sell their papers a the assembly and dispersal point’s.
And why are they trying to hide the identity of the speakers, are they ashamed to say they are SWP?
Eamonn McCann is a member of the SWP shock horror!Some dummy ask:--why are they hiding it?
Are you for real?
It’s a bit strange that people with aliases like ‘by the way’ and ‘joe soap’ are hiding their real names, but attack people for not saying their part of an organisation. Sort it out lads, focus on the real issues at hand!
Ya have to laugh, all the SWP heads on here attacking people for going under aliases when the "Irish Anti-War Movement" is really an alias for the SWP!
Also I see that the Belfast SWP shaggers are careful to bill it as the "Anti War Movement". Afraid to be Irish lads? Are yez not the same bunch o' feckers as the lot down in Dublin?
Eamon mccann an SWP member, bollix . Eamon has shared platforms with (PUP)Billy Hutchinson, and occasionally writes for the belfast telegraph, are these common place activities of a SWP member? are these the traits of an SWP member or any member of the pretentious dogma loving intellectual theorists socialist block? Eamon McCann is just an ordinary working class derry bloke, his views are held by many ordinary working class communities, be they loyalist or republican.
