Time to have an update on what is happening to our comrades in diss-Respect. My last post on this subject in September featured the SWP slagging off Gorgeous George and his Muslim fundamentalist allies for being anti-gay and practicing "Communal politics".
George had demanded the resignation of the SWP secretary of Respect, John Rees, and his own people to take charge of the Party. The expected bloodbath was postponed due to the prospect of an impending General Election. So we had the farcical performance of George saying he would not stand as a Respect Candidate in Poplar and Limehouse, only to be then “persuaded” by a grovelling plea from the SWP to stand! Now the immediate prospect of a general election is off, things are beginning to return to form.
The Tower Hamlets “Respect” blogger Nedlud (who appears to be a functional human being) latest report is titled “Combat corps-à-corps de Respect, apparemment” (which I think if my CSE French is correct, means that there is hand to hand fighting in Respect, apparently) speculates on reports that Tower Hamlet Respect Councillors will split.
The small number of SWP believers, led by nice but led astray, Oli Rahman, will be kicked out by the Muslim Brotherhood, head honcho, (and Council opposition leader) Abjol Miah.
While I love the recent Workers Liberty (AWL) “open letter” to the SWP in which they allege that “your association with Galloway is demeaning and befouling? ….Do you now find yourselves suddenly realising what you have got into, with the shock of someone who wakes up to the realisation that he has been sleep-walked into a disease-ridden stream of sewage?... pissed on secularism….”
I couldn’t possibly comment.
Meanwhile former long term SWPer Nick Bird who recently resigned, is interviewed by the infamous “Worker Weekly”. The SWP is exposed as a flock of sheep controlled by Napoleon’s sheep dogs.
While anti-SWP critic Mac Uaidhas rejoined Respect and has decided that since he has taken George’s shilling he must defend the indefensible. Poor chap.
Meanwhile Galloway himself, in the middle of the mother of all battles for the soul of “respect” has decided to commit himself to his many East London constituents in Blackpool to hold (according to his official web site) “You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll rage! Know why? Because George is launching the Mother Of All Talk Shows annual convention in Blackpool on Friday, November 9 and Saturday November 10. There will be a cabaret, competitions, prizes, a late-night disco on Friday, an all-day conference and on the Saturday night his talkSPORT radio programme will be beamed live from the venue - with audience participation. We might even chuck in a stick of Blackpool rock. And only £25 a ticket!”
Pass the sick bag
