Comments (5 of 5)
Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5The links section of the SETF creates the suspicion that the thing is an SWP front. Out of 16 links we have:
4 to Social forums
2 to NGO's
2 to international activist sites
6 to SWP fronts (ANL,IAWM, GR Ireland, GR-UK, Respect, StWC)
1 to Bin Tax Campaign.
No link to Indymedia, yet we have several SWP fronts that don't even pretend to exist anymore (ANL, GR). Are there any non-SWP people involved? Surely they can ask for the website not to be so obviously biased towards the SWP?
That should have read 7 SWP fronts (Another front is inevitable is also linked).
How can a social forum be credible if it includes no links to any Irish non-SWP activist groups and includes links to all the major fronts of the british SWP. I mean how many attendees of the SESF support the ReSect party in the UK?
Follow the name and mobile number through the fronts! Play at home, boys and girls. And don't be fooled...

but don't discredited the sesf entirely, i dont knw the details but one hopes there some good honest people trying theri best in the grouping too
Very Constructive indeed- just shows that you guys have nothing better to do- woudln't your time be better spent organising something yourself instead of this shit. No wonder the SESF didn't link to indymedia, with this kind of response.
