Nick Bird has been a member of the SWP for 17 years. Below he outlines his reasons for parting with what he sees to be an undemocratic and dishonest organisation.

As for my intentions, I have been an SWP member for 17 years, but frankly I’ve had enough. This is a bit of a wrench for me, since I feel that I learnt the core political ideas and principles that I hold from the SWP. But for some years I have felt my belief in the good things that the party does being qualified by frustrations at its practices and methods. I will stay in Respect and align myself with those who want an inclusive, democratic party that fights for peace, justice, equality and socialism. read full story / add a comment

international / anti-war / imperialism / other press Wednesday October 10, 2007 13:51 by Charlotte Despard
See below a plea to the US and UK governments to enter into negotiations with the Iranian regime. This is from CASMII, the organisation that the SWP is involved in. They are suddenly keen to portray the US and UK governments as capable of playing a progressive role in the region! It is clear now who is really creating illusions in the US and UK governments – as well of course as being loyal supporters of the Iranian regime.

We urge the leaders of the U.S., the U.K. and Iran to set aside allpre-conditions and resume direct and open negotiations on all issuesof dispute, to bring about a lowering of tensions, to create an opening for meaningful progress toward understanding, and to
envision a Middle East in which all its residents can coexist and together address the common problems of violence, poverty, illness and environmental degradation. read full story / add a comment

But the truth is that this massacre was carried out by the Turkish authorities, as a pre text to a full scale planned invasion of Kurdistan that is being discussed by Turkish authorities tonight and will be presented to the Turkish parliament tomorrow. read full story / add a comment

The Alliance for Animal Rights and Circuswatch Ireland welcomes last night’s landmark decision by Fingal County Council. This decision instigated by Socialist Party’s Cllr Clare Daly is the first of its kind in this country. It will mean that ‘wild’ animals will not be allowed perform in Circuses in the Fingal area.We congratulate all of the Council for making the unanimous compassionate decision which is the first of its kind in Ireland.

‘We are looking on this as the beginning of the end for circuses with animals in Ireland. This is the first council to get this motion passed unanimously (despite the issue being raised in other areas in the past). Hundreds of emails were sent to Fingal councillors from animal rights activists which helped enlighten them on the plight of animals confined in the beastwagons of travelling circuses.’ Bernie Wright, Press Officer AFAR’. See below for synopsis.
