No, I was a fully paid up (half rate) member of the SWP. There were generally fewer shaved heads and, from what I could tell, a lot more cups of tea and sandwiches. Elements within the SWP still represent the most coherent and eloquent leftist critique in the UK. I no longer attend meetings, so I don't know what the situation is like 'on the ground'.

Such a hoo-ha about his appearing in Question Time would help the BNP and it completely backfired. Now when are the Greens going to get invited? I watched it and it was revealing in many ways.
