The WSPUS I believe had an existence as the Socialist Educational Society. Perhaps this is what it should revert back to and drop the pretence of being a functional socialist party. People don’t appreciate being mis-led by appearances and grandiose claims.

Perhaps our own SPGB branches should become Socialist Standard Reading Groups if they can find no other productive constructive political role.

Vinnie, I have made my view clear on the hostility clause elsewhere. But it takes two to tango. I have been disappointed with some who are part of what I consider to be on the Thin Red Line having their own unspoken hostility clause. At least we are up front about it. But I agree, it is not a blunderbuss against all non-SPGBers.

None of us have all the answers to everything (unless the answer is 42)
