Without wishing to repeat topics previously discussed here not so long ago – about the merits of ex-members or non-members only this time personalised about particular individuals (who may well reapply for membership one day) which I don't think is productive – new members should be pointed to some of the best talks from the 1980s, some of which Coleman made, some of which the late Dick Donnelly made. I suppose you could say it is a shame these are twenty years old. These talks include debates against the major political parties.

To clarify I am talking about successful campaigns or campaigns that can be successful in stopping individual wars.
I don't get it. Governments paying for the building, then paying for maintenance is two payments even if they borrow the money for one.
And Neo-Bolsheviks claims 'a socialist society' or 'a workers state' transformed back into a capitalist one.

Blowing to pieces the base of ISIS is ok for Labour MPs but the crowd with a megaphone outside warmongerer Stella Creasys office is intimidating.Corbyn may be being a shrewd politician to keep his hold on Labour but this is not morally consistent.

So Corbyn's cognitive dissonance / hypocrisy emerges. On warmongering Labour MPs being subjected to abuse'As we have both said many times, abuse and intimidation have no place in politics. And the party as a whole will not accept such behaviour, from whatever quarter it comes,'but on bombing'Today's Shadow Cabinet agreed to back Jeremy Corbyn's recommendation of a free vote on the Government's proposal to authorise UK bombing in Syria.

You can look at the image more closely on Wikimedia commons but it is acknowledged this is was an angelic figure. Were burning torches used in conjunction with the FC Watts classic emblem on the covers of early pamphlets?
As the critic Teju Cole puts it, power like theirs “supports brutal policies in the morning, founds charities in the afternoon, and receives awards in the evening”.http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/dec/02/mark-zuckerberg-and-priscilla-chans-99-pledge-is-born-with-strings-attached
Quote:The UN Security Council resolution (of which Mr Cameron makes so much) actually offers no legal basis for military action. Nor does it cite Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, which authorises the use of force. David Cameron is already suffering from galloping Churchill syndrome (the patient growls, denounces his critics as appeasers, and starts wars). Now he seems to have contracted Blair’s disorder, an irresistible desire to pose alongside military hardware. On Monday he managed to have his portrait taken next to a very macho-looking Typhoon fighter jet at Northolt RAF base on his way back from Paris. Odd, that. Typhoons are not normally stationed at Northolt, and I haven’t been able to get a coherent explanation of what military reason it had to be there, so convenient for a photo-opportunity. The Prime Minister might have been better employed looking up Syria on a map, reading the relevant documents, or consulting with our former ambassador to Syria, Peter Ford – who energetically opposes what he denounces as ‘recreational bombing’.P Hitchens weighs inhttp://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2015/11/this-isnt-just-a-war-its-recreational-bombing-by-our-churchill-wannabe.html
