Ex-Labour hard-left launch Socialist Labour Network

 

It seems that the remnants of the organisations formerly known as Labour Against the Witch Hunt (LAW) and Labour In Exile (LIE) have decided to form a new organisation outside the Labour Party. They announced on Twitter tonight:

Socialist Labour Network is a group formed by the merger of Labour Against the Witch-hunt and Labour in Exile Network. SLN will continue to resist the witch-hunt of socialists from Labour and provide a forum for members to stand in solidarity. Join us & grow the socialist network.

They couldn't call themselves the Socialist Labour Party because old King Arthur (Scargill) owns the rights to that name and is registered as a political party with the Electoral Commission standing candidates with money that no one knows the origin of. Apparently they will be announcing a new logo soon. 

The SLN had their launch meeting last Friday where they were addressed by Ian Hodson the General Secretary of the now disaffiliated Bakers Union (which was supported by their activist caste but no member vote was taken). They announced it's remit as:

Socialist Labour Network aims to unite socialists unfairly suspended, expelled, or resigned in dismay from the Labour Party.

Clearly membership of the group should lead to automatic expulsion of the ever diminishing band around Greenstein and his deluded followers. Given the love affair between the vile one and his counterpart  Williamson in Resist it's surprising that they just didn't merge all their groups into one. This would have at least a three figure membership, however the hard leftists all need their positions from which to preach and pontificate their tomfoolery.

Talking of pointless debates it seems Tony Greenstein the SLN's new Fuhrer figure and Jack Conrad of the now rapidly declining Communist Party of Great Britain (Weekly Worker) are having a mass debate to the observant disciples of both groups this Friday. I'll be washing me hair others may wish to head down the pub and leave the deluded comrades to their incestuous dialogue.

Meanwhile Terry Deans self confessed Marxist Gardner (nope me neither) thinks the SLN beckons:

The unity of all socialist groups is the irresistible force that cannot be defeated

From memory and experience if there's one thing we can all be sure of, the words "unity" and "Socialist groups" have never gone together and never will.

Another amusing if hopeless development by some of the worst of the left has to offer.
