I was around at the time tho' my memory is a little foggy. Members acted grossly undemocratically and other members were allowed to say so without being referred to as 'disruptive' Those were the days

Is it just me, but considering we have postings about various movements and how we should reach out to them, is it not time that two organisations who both hold to the D of P looked for some kind of common ground. It's not like both organisations are bursting at the seams

 Ha ha  we could try reaching out to present members who wish to contribute rather than driving them away from the party.

Please direct your request to the EC who will deal with it at its next meeting.

It is the responsibilty of the Internet Committee to make it's documents open to public scrutiny.

Doesn't take a special member to tell you thatNothing is held from the public, the IC should handover the document

"As a matter of political principle the Socialist Party holds no secret meetings, all its meetings including those of its executive committee being open to the public. This means that all its internal records (except, understandably, for the current membership names and addresses which remains confidential) are open to public consultation. In keeping with the tenet that working class emancipation necessarily excludes the role of political leadership, the SPGB is a leader-less political party where its executive committee is solely for housekeeping admin duties and cannot determine policy or even submit resolutions to conference (and all the EC minutes are available for public scrutiny with access on the web as proof of our commitment to openness and democracy).

The document should be available from a request from any member of the public. The IC are in contevention yet again, of our basic priciples. Vin has been refused a copy by the Internet Committee

The length of the indefinite suspension will depend on how long the EC takes to reach a decision based on the IC report now in front of them.  

 In the interests of basic fairness shouldn'y Vin receive a copy of this report? to prepare a counter defence?Who wrote the report? and May I have a copy of the minutes  relating to its acceptance? Or is this information not publicly available as our party proclaims? 

[lindanesocialist]

Vin is working on a video for the EU referendum and is about 70% there with it and has asked me to request suggestions/contributions . He would like to make it a little humerous so any ideas would be welcome.

I fail to see how that is a problem. The role of committees is not a policing role, but to carry on the work of that committee as per the terms of reference for that committee. Just like the role of moderators is to moderate, not join in discussion under the auspices of being a moderator

 Each member of  internet committee has more than one account which contavenes rule 8. Vin informs me that pointing out these Animal Farm hypocricies is the real reason he has been censored. Now that is his his opinion and not mine cos it has been 30 years since I read Orwell. Unless it is a crime to reproduce someone elses opinion I should be OK  PS the forum has a virus and admin needs to address that problem

I'm afraid that the IC are, from my perspective, acting like a bunch of East German Stazi agents. This is not and I will restate "not" the Party I first joined in 1981. ver the last few years, because of a parcity of members and particularly in the domain of "Computer Literacy, Computer programming knowledge, a nod has been given and undue sway, to a certain few individuals, that the Party appears afraid of "offending". In this atmosphere, I am ashamed of the current narrative, so should all Socialists/Democrats. We do ourselves no favours indeed, we do ourselves and our movement a disservice, by the current shenanigans. 

Vin is banned from the forum for saying worse than this? Hardly.  I think not. More likely its personal and I can understand to an extent, he can be irritating at times Nothing against you cde Colborn, good friend. In fact  I agree with you but literally havent got the balls to repeat it lol
