The Gaping Holes in the BBC?s ?Boiling Spring? Story Thu Mar 06, 2025 09:00 | Chris Morrison
The BBC has run a story claiming UK spring temperatures are up 1.8?C. It's alarmist agitprop straight from a Green Blob press release and it doesn't check out when you look at the facts, says Chris Morrison.

Why Are We Funding Arts Council England?s Woke Nonsense? Thu Mar 06, 2025 07:00 | Charlotte Gill
The Javaad Alipoor Company is a theatre company with a woke "nine-point manifesto that drives everything we do". Inevitably, the Arts Council is stuffing it with taxpayers' cash. Why do we fund this crap?

The round they won't have
Round One
Questions and Answers.
1. What is the first line of the constitution of the IAWM?
There is no first line. The SWP don't believe in programmes or constitutions, so all attempts to lay down structural foundations in the IAWM have been opposed. You can't run a front if you can't control it.
2. How can you be a delegate for a non-active local anti-war group?
Join the SWP.
3. Why are all the officers, (bar one) SWP members?
Once again, you can't run a front if you can't control it.
4. Why does the IAWM orientate towards the TU bureaucracy and the Labour aristocracy?
Because the SWP have a simple analysis, in which, they believe that if you can turn significant numbers of the makers and shakers to even the most diluted of socialist ideas then the revolution is around the corner. Another one of their Disneyesque socialist dreams.
5. Why haven't the SP stood up to the SWP and outlined their despicable behaviour?
Quite simply, even though the SP are an improvment on the SWP, they still don't believe that democracy is an important thing. Can't be calling foul on practices that you carry out yourself.

Answers to follow.
"its all a bit of sad end to what was a great movement." It's a terribly predictable end to what was just another SWP front. The diversity and breadth of the movement was never even remotely reflected in that particular bureaucratic vehicle of the trots. Hopefully the good folks who were naive enough to bang their heads off the SWP's control freakery will have enough morale left to take part in the building of a real, democratic anti-war federation. The IAWM is dead, long live the irish anti-war movement.!
who runs the anyi war movement now, is it the peoples front of judea or the judean peoples front? its all a bit of sad end to what was a great movement.
The above gurrier is impersonating me. It is obviously an SWP troll attempting to make the IAWM 'rebels' look silly by proposing something that is a complete waste of time.
The SWP trolls are busy today. We've had a few alphabet learners and now they've learned their abc, they're onto the old black-ops.
Face the facts SWP boys n girls, the rebellion was primarily about internal democracy and no matter how much you try to smear your critics, that will be remembered.
Lets picket this quiz in protest against the SWP takeover of the IAWM and the expulsion of Laurence Vize.
