They seem to have capitlised on the on going fracture of the SWP. They seem to have picked up a few of the SWP members in Newcastle who resigned a few years ago and have been wandering around like sheep without a shepherd to tell them what to think. To be fair they seem to have a rump of the more well read members of what was the Militant Group, in comparison to the ones who SPEWed out.
That’s the photo in question.
Seems strange they would use the “Revolutionary Communist Party” title, considering the general view of the old 1980’s RCP aka “The Ray Chadburn Party”. Is Martha Lane Fox and all of the now right wing “heed the balls” going to rejoin?
This change might be a result of the large number of ex Grant Trots that have been thrown out of Starmer’s New, New Labour Party.
“Ask yourself, if you were a Palestinian in Gaza and had access to a weapon what would you do? If Israel killed your family, how would you react? Why would you care about international or humanitarian law when you know it only applies to the oppressed, not the oppressors? If terror is the only language Israel uses to communicate, the only language it apparently understands, wouldn’t you speak back with terror?”
And if you changed it around to read “if Hamas killed your family how would you react”
The problem is that eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, leaves everyone blind and hungry
Having never scanned the QR code (or any other QR code to be honest) does the code take you directly to the Party’s front web page, or to some other page. I might be teaching my granny to suck eggs, but would it not be be directed to the “who we are” page rather than the front page.
We are trying to recruit new members, the section about joining is towards the bottom of this web page, maybe this should be closer to the top. Also perhaps we should be more specific about the topics covered in the membership test, explaining what our view is in these areas and why we need to ensure that all prospective members agree in these areas.
but the only country whose foundation is intimately associated with ethnic cleansing and genocide is
What about, the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, All of South and Central America, the Caribbean countries, to name but a few and even though I didn’t mention the word genocide
Very little mention has been made of the Deir Yassin Massacre, or the Lydda massacre, both carried out by organisations which the British had described as terrorists.

This must be unprecedented in British political history — a Cabinet minister acting as an agent of a “foreign” power”
Not really unprecedented, Thatcher/Major Blair was the US’s lap dog in the 2 Gulf wars, Attlee was happy to send Troops in to support the US’s interests in Korea, to cite just a few.
“And that’s why you haven’t been able to convince more than a relatively tiny handful of people in 120 years.”
And it’s also why millions of people are still dying from war, starvation and neglect needlessly over the last 120 years.
Anyway, I thought you had pissed off up to deepest Peru hunting for Paddington’s wellies and traces of marmalade sandwiches.
“i tried to use the quote function but the system blocked me. i’m never sure if there’s a malicious member hanging about (traitor! traitor! let’s nail his balls to the wall)”
From your occasional postings, I really never had you down as a Stirnerist, but perhaps your apparent sense of egoism betrays you.
The truth is, mate, your not that important to be blocked by us, or probably any one else. Sorry to upset you.

With regards following Mayo, I do have that cross to bear (the curse of ’51) as well as following the perennially trophy less Newcastle United. I mentioned my twin affiliations to a farmer from Fermanagh who said to me “Ahh Jeysus, how many mirrors have your family broken”
I’ve been putting a tenner on a double of Newcastle winning the Cup and Mayo winning the All Ireland for the last 25 years, still might come off this year.
It contains the excellent lyric: “Nothing in this world comes without some kind of fight. Got to kick at the darkness ’till it bleeds daylight.”
Sounds a bit violent to me, think I’ll stick with the sport🙄
“I think that in Ireland they play a sort of rugby with a round ball called Gaelic football. I suppose their anthem might be “The Merry Ploughboy” whose chorus is;”
They do play Gaelic Football, but it is definitely not a sort of Rugby, it is a far more fluid and less legally technical than either Union or League. It’s a terrific game to watch (as is Hurling). Been to several games and a trip to Croke Park is well worth a visit. (Maigh Eo Abú)
As to the music (keeping the discussion within the topic, mod) most games at county level begin with the Irish National anthem, The Soldier’s Song (Amhrán na bhFiann) which has the usual nationalistic bombast. The first verse for example starts with:
“Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland,” but to be fair the melody is a bit more lively than the dreadful dirges that make up the vast majority of National Anthems.
