Bit rich having a go because Hatton left the socialist movement to pursue a business career, whereas the SPGB allows capitalists to be members! Haven’t SPGB members left you for other pastures? You pick on Hatton and disregard those Liverpool Councillors who lost their personal wealth because of their principled stand against Thatcher. So easy to sit back in your socialist armchair and critise those who fight back, when as Marxists you should offer critical support.
And you are scraping the bottom of the barrel about Militant/Socialist Party supporting the Falklands war, which it didn’t. Never let the facts get in the way of an argument, eh? That is another reason the Labour Party expelled Militant because of their socialist views and actions. I must say that the level of debate has fallen within the SPGB, going by its simplistic views, untruths and regurgitation of capitalist propaganda. Militant/Socialist Party take exactly the same position on capitalist wars as you do, be it currently Libya, Iraq, Ireland etc etc: workers must take an independent position and oppose such slaughter. Again you look for division between yourselves and the Socialist Party when there is none. This is why the SPGB has never attracted workers support and is in its protracted death agony.
