    The design of focusing on a single image segueing into a series of slideshows of images is used in many attractive websites, including the SWP split ISN. We should use that here instead of four equally sized images. In fact we could include upcoming meetings in the slideshow.

    Great!You have to go to http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/socialist-standardto see Latest Additions on the right A Trotskyist Sect By Any Other NameMilitant DishonestyMr Angry Goes to Town…Debate With A.W.L. – Socialism or Trotskyism?Book Review: 'Gerry Healy – A Revolutionary Life'The Collapse of Trotsky’s MonumentBook Review: 'The Unbroken Thread', by Ted GrantWhich Way to Socialism: Militant Tendency or SPGB?A Shorter Working Week?Opportunism Knocked: Bradford Debate With SWPFunny title, but possibly inaccurate and certainly the wrong approach. There's a danger of looking more like a sneering Private Eye than a serious journal making political criticism.

    I don't think it is as difficult as you think it is. IRC servers are off the shelf products readily available at no cost. Much more straightforward for people who don't have the equipment or don't want to sign up to Teamspeak. IRC can run on any PC/device made in the last quarter century.

    I'm talking about installing a server on our website, not someone posting a link to an external website. Even some sort of IRC daemon (server software) on our website would be extremely useful for meetings.

    The high prices are explained by computer algorithms to deter customers buying books that the third party sellers do not stockhttp://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110425/03522114026/infinite-loop-algorithmic-pricing-amazon-how-book-flies-cost-2369865593.shtmlif customers buy it anyway, then third party sellers cannot source the book, they simply cancel the sale and refund the money

    A comment on Labour Party Marxists readshttp://labourpartymarxists.org.uk/the-safest-place/

    Jon says: “a victim-centred approach which starts from a position of belief is not synonymous with a presumption of guilt as the end point of an investigation.” No, but it is synonymous with bias.

    I think they are close to the CPGB/Weekly Worker as this publication carries many of their articles.

    Some good articlesI thought this was quite interesting and made some accurate pointshttp://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/timstanley/100211357/the-swps-fanatics-have-outdone-themselves-with-their-margaret-thatcher-is-dead-rejoice-cover/ as does thisRussell Brand: ""Barack Obama, interestingly, said in his statement that she had "broken the glass ceiling for other women". Only in the sense that all the women beneath her were blinded by falling shards. She is an icon of individualism, not of feminism." and thisBusting Thatcher Myths- There was no Economic Miracle Under Thatcher: Recessions, Credit Bubbles Bursting, Mass Unemployment, Tax Hikes for Most of us, a drop from 83% to 40% for the Superrich, like her.andWhy Would Anyone Celebrate the Death of Margaret Thatcher?
