They also critisised the SF sell-out and Ogra's utopic ideas of a "non-political" policing system.

A lot of Alliance Party members would find those two pieces uncontentious and they are liberal pro-imperialists.Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13081564039331261787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995284.post-1174488828992275532007-03-21T15:53:00.000+00:002007-03-21T15:53:00.000+00:00Thanks Snowball, actually it just shows the search...Thanks Snowball, actually it just shows the search engine on the SW website doesn't work very well. <BR/><BR/>I have amended my article, but actually the artciles yu quote don't contradict my thesis, the political line could prety much have been lifted from the Militant circa 1986ANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05901425044840795347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995284.post-1174487303659670802007-03-21T15:28:00.000+00:002007-03-21T15:28:00.000+00:00Andy, sorry I haven't got time now to go through y...Andy, sorry I haven't got time now to go through your whole argument and respond but the idea that the SWP failed to 'provide analysis in the lead up to the poll' only shows that you should read <A HREF="http://www.socialistworker.co.uk/article.php?article_id=10914" REL="nofollow">Socialist Worker</A> <A HREF="http://www.socialistworker.co.uk/article.php?article_id=10915" REL="nofollow">more carefully</A> in future.Snowballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00019207537450855316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995284.post-1174487143660692792007-03-21T15:25:00.000+00:002007-03-21T15:25:00.000+00:00A very good article.

The Old Millie never managed to come up with a principled stance towards the Irish question. Its opportunist legacy has been passed down to all three of its successors, the CWI, the CMI and unforntunately, the SSP as well, although in the latter case, the influence of the Republican Communist Network has alleviated the problem a bit.Korakioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593180610210015493noreply@blogger.com
