I'm afraid the most obvious and likely question will be an attempt to ridicule Q: Don't you believe in the immediate abolition of all States, Armies, Police and Money?

I do hope my opinion will be taken seriously by the members on the committe who do not want me in the party?

Can I have assurances from the members of the committee who do not want me in the party that they will take my opinion into consideration?
Media Training and the Workshop in generalHi ComradesThank you for all the contributions so far – please keep them coming.All ideas and suggestions will of course be taken into consideration (by myself at least!).About the 'media training' part of the agenda, may I just emphasise there are no plans to deliver media training at the workshop. Its more of a brainstorm to establish what training members feel they need and how it may be delivered. I am collecting information on what training is available. If comrades have any suggestions – including about their local areas – please let me know.Thanks
Thanks, Cde

Comrades New Speakers Training[@ Head Office Workshop – Sunday 26th October]Here are two more ideas about how we could run the afternoon session (Plan A):‘Question Time’: A practise session for some prospective new speakers/candidates being grilled on some more of the questions from the proposed new ‘Modern Speakers Test’. This way no-one has to do a lot of preparation. We could do it like a “question time” show and let someone from the audience ask the question and see if they are happy with the answer.‘Hustings Meeting’: As Comrade Buick has suggested, “the speaking skills required of a candidate would be a local radio or newspaper interview and speaking and answering questions at a hustings.” We could run it as a hustings meeting with one or two members acting the part of the capitalist candidate(s).Both these formats would be a bit more laid back and entertaining for all concerned but could still benefit the participants.Please if you have thoughts on this (and/or would like to take part ) please reply in the usual way or email me c/o: spgb.ksrb@worldsocialism.org Here for info is the current afternoon part of the Workshop timetable:1400hrs New Speakers TrainingPlan A: Mock Public Meeting Short address by and questioning of prospective candidates(If there are volunteer “new” speakers available)Plan B: Guidance for New SpeakersTaking the Test – how to prepareSpeaking to the public – Practical tips & handoutPlan B could take up less time so lead to an earlier finish1520hrs Roundup & Thoughts on Next Steps 1530hrs FinishFor the EC

Can you take out the part where Jeremy Poxman (aka DAP) interviews Danny for nearly an hour and make it a separate item standing on its own? It's good.
