"You?ll never be wasting our time," reads the Prevent poster. So why did the anti-extremism programme fail to stop the Southport killer, who had been referred to it three times? He's not the only one, says Charlotte Gill.

Are the ICTU supposed to be non-party political? If so why do they only participate in Labour organised events. or was this and ICTU youth event to which only Labour Youth were invited.
Surely ICTU should play a role in working with all parties of the left not just one???

i agree with jim, ictu should turn up at events organised by other left groups as well and i'm sure they do. especially if they are invited. groups on the left should invite representatives from ictu youth to their youth events and representatives from the ictu womens committee to womens events.

many moons ago when i was secretary of ictu youth i even attended wp youth conferences on behalf of ictu (my politics were a bit different back i those days).

Friends,

I can say strongly that no members of ICTU youth were present at this event. The people invloved were all Labour activists. I know this because i called the protest in cork that evening and am standing on the right of the Photo.
Wether ICTU youht committee are non-political or not though i would be happy to hsve them attend any event i am involved with. We should not exclude ourselves from show's of strength because of petty politics when there are greater causes to be fighting!

Cheers,

Eoghan Beecher
