tatchell gives it to galloway straight!

Was this a different publication to the International Discussion Bulletins they used to put up on the little known IS Tendency website for a while?

Sort of. The Internal IDB was produced as a result of the sub-political struggle between the ISO/USA and SWP/B. Without digging them out I think there were two editions and then the IDB went public as a result of its forerunner being leaked to all and sundry. The IDB was then produced as a print publication for a few issues until relegated to its present netbound semi-existence.

My feeling is that the Rees-German clique are losing interst in international work as they bank on Respect to deliver them fame and continued careers in politricks. This leads to other SWP leaders being made to look like dicks as with the recent protest of the Pakistan IS concerning the SWP hookup with Islamic charidees. Chris Harman who would appear to have put considerable effort into developing the Pakistan IS could not have been well pleased.

Could you post more information on this, please? Ta.

I suggest that you check out issues of the weakly wanker for November in which this was well covered to be fair.

so it was fairly covered?

OK. I'd have settled for a fairly fair summary of their fair coverage - but if I have to go to another site to read the stuff, I will (inshallah).

do you mean this nit?

We have not heard of Islamic Relief, but we would suggest that you keep your distance from them, for their operations appear from their website to be in places where jihadis dominate. If they are in Pakistan, we will certainly keep our distance.

cos it's not really much of a protest if so.

as readers of the liberal-fascist rag the grauniad will doubtless know, outrage!'s peter tatchell has called on galloway and the ruc to sever their links with that homophobick lot, the islamic (sic) party of britain. will galloway listen to tatchell's words of wisdom, or will they rather snuggle up even closer to the likes of the nutty "dr" naseem?

I like the fact that the Guardian omits the fact that Dr Naseem's policys are to ban gay organisations and execute homosexuals. Reading that I can imagine many Guardian types supporting the hostility as just a culture we don't understand.

I do like the idea of Galloway showing himself up as the reactionary bigoted theif he really is, rather than the cuddly Scottish pacifist many get the impression of.

A world ran by Galloway: homos tortured and killed, the legalisation for the beating of women, and the banning of abortions and masturbation.

Well Udo I suspect i know rather more than you. I also made clear that my interpretation of events is based to some degree on speculation.

Well, you have revealed that your major source of information is the Weekly Worker - a bizarre gossip sheet.

And you have admitted that your interpretation of events is based on speculation - so why act as if it is fact and dress up your speculation as being the result of insider information, and pose that you are knowledgeable about the ISO in Zimbabwe.

Reading the odd article in the Weekly Wrecker doesn't make you an expert on the International Socialist tendency.

I repeat my point - you don't really know a great deal about ISO/Z - you are a fake!

 

[lewislewis]

Is it really worth debating Galloway's credibility when he came out with the quote 'Bush and Blair will burn in Hell in the Hell fires' ?

Udo dear boy I cited my sources for information concerning the ISO/Z and the weakly wanker was not one of them. To repeat my sources were the publications of the ISO/Z, the IIDB and IDB of the SWP/IST and personal information vouchsafed to me by an IST member then recently in Zimbabwe.

Now if you wish to challenge my interpretation of events and speculation as to motives of the players involved i would suggest that you bring to bear additional information - which as we both know you do not possess or have access to - or provide some alternative political explanation for events.

It's amusing to be accused of not knowing much of the doings of the IST given that few members of the SWP possess much concrete knowledge of that body. A body that has no constitution, program or campaigns of its own and has only ever made one action public and that the expulsion of its second largest organisation for no good reason.
