Urgent: the US Announces Boycott, the UK Must Follow!

 

Last night, the Biden administration announced that the United States will not be sending any officials or diplomats to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. This is a direct response to the Chinese Communist Party’s ongoing human rights atrocities.

We have campaigned hard for this moment. Joe Biden has made a stand. Now we need to push others to follow.

Thousands of you contacted the Prime Minister a couple of weeks ago but it appears that he did not get our message. Now is the time to up the pressure. Will you help by contacting UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson again, demanding he announces a boycott of Beijing’s bloody Winter Games?

Tweet the Prime Minister

Contact the Prime Minister

For over a year, Free Tibet and its friends around the world have been campaigning with a strong message: a government that carries out torture and genocide should never have been granted the Winter Games. We must boycott Beijing 2022.

Thanks to your continued support we are now seeing results. Biden’s announcement is a significant victory and there have been exciting developments in the UK too. In July, parliament voted in favour of a boycott of Beijing 2022, and several members of the government have said they will not be attending. But that is not enough.

The UK government must officially announce a boycott and they must announce it now. That’s where you come in. Will you demand that Boris Johnson acts now for human rights, and boycotts Beijing 2022?

Demonstrate for Freedom in Hong Kong, Tibet and end the persecution of the Uighurs

Galloway & Williamson to unite the dark side?

 

Hot on the heels of the latest splits, resignations and squabbles inside the around the various groupies of LAW, LIE and the LPM (see articles below) it seems that Chris Williamson is entering yet another electoral arrangement with his tiny band of followers with that George Galloway character.

In his latest tweet Chris "Nosferatu" Williamson announces he will be sharing a platform with the gorgeous one at the Workers Party HQ building which is the rather unfortunately named Moseley Street. A wee bit too close to the truth methinks...

It seems the mash-up between Gerorge Galloway and the pro-North Korean Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) known as the Workers Party is planning to run candidates in the 2022 local elections. Williamson is going to send his familiars to lend a hand or two with their campaign.

How his other alliance with the Trade Union & Socialist Coalition will react is not yet known, The remnants of the Socialist Party (Militant) backed Williamson's Resist candidates during the last election. No doubt the TUSC will be running what candidates it can and maybe Williamson hopes that getting the backing of both Trotskyists and Stalinists will double his chances of losing any contest.

Meanwhile the Greenstein faction reels from yet another court ruling that poor old Tony has lost. Greenstein was found guilty of harassing Labour Party employees and has been banned from contacting them or the Labour Party for two years (1). That comes on top the other court decision that he can be described as an antisemite because of his writings  rantings on line and elsewhere (2).

Greenstein seemingly aims to link up with Williamson and form a new party, possibly with Galloway  who gave Greenstein a platform on his RT TV propaganda chat show.(3). No doubt the major political parties will not be taking much notice of this ramshackle outfit of failed politico's though these extremists will target seats with high Muslim populations to push their grandiloquent anti-imperialist campaign riddled with so-called anti-Zionism.

A Resignation letter from Jackie Walker & Friends from Labour Against the Witch Hunt

 

Following yesterdays report on the antics of the overlapping memberships of Labour Against the Witch Hunt (LAW) and Labour in Exile (LIE) Jackie Walker and her Communist Party of Great Britain (Weekly Worker) supporters have issued a letter which I have reproduced in it's original entirety for your entertainment..

Further updates will no doubt be sent out for the benefit of their cheering masses (some 27 supporters judging by the vote) in the edition of Weekly Worker due out on Friday. This blog along with the working class awaits with baited breath....... well maybe not but this story of sectarian folly will no doubt continue showing how inherently useless these people really are.

Labour Against the Witch Hunt: A Merger followed by a split.

 

The internal civil war between the really unsavoury hard left tyes around Labour Against the Witch Hunt (LAW) and Labour In Exile (LIE) has become a fascinating example of the hopelessness and navel gazing hatreds of the far left.

As previously reported there has been trouble inside these organisations as an ideological and personality fallout took place between the followers of Tony Greenstein and those around the Labour Party Marxists (LPM) (a front for the Communist Party of Great Britain/Weekly Worker) crowd. 

It seems most members of both these organisations are now outside the Labour Party having recently been joined by a number of activists from the fake Jewish Voice for Labour (JVL) hate group likewise.. being expelled.

Greenstein & his charming ally Esther Giles proposed that LAW & LIE merge which even caused Tina Werkman to initially oppose what she saw even as an ex-member of the CPGB a "hostile takeover"

This causes a dilemma for the LAW Steering Committee majority dominated by the LPM (CPGB) who in advance of the vote wrote:

There are a number of problems with this proposal.

The most serious is that, despite the claim to have a “focus” on fighting the witch-hunt, that is precisely what will be ended - fighting the witch-hunt in the Labour Party. To produce a combined organisation for general political activity out of LAW and LIEN is to accept that there is no longer a need for a campaign focused on that priority. Remember that LAW is already committed to fighting to transform the Labour Party into a united front of a special kind - of all trade unions, working class partisans, socialist groups and parties. For unity to be worthwhile, for unity to be a net good, it would have to be on a serious basis that would supersede the otherwise separate existence of its components. That seriousness is partly a matter of immediate practicality and partly of principle.

Now we go to the practicalities of the squabble as the mass organisations of the Labour hard Left met to do battle. The two groups had to meet on separate days as some of their members belong to both groups which should be taken into account when examining g the derisory voting fidgures at their respective meetings.

First up LIE met on Friday and voted 31 to 8 in favour of a merger. A total of just 39 particpants from a group that once threatened to set up "Shadow CLP's". They would have indeed been a very small shaow in a dark comer not even noticeable to any adult.

Then came Saturday and the massed ranks of LAW voted 47 to 27 in favour of the merger (the 27 being presumably the entire membership of the CPGB which has only around that number of members). There were 12 abstentions. A grand total of 86.

That was not the end of it as the infamous Jackie Walker, Stan Keable, Tina Werkman and Kevin Bean resign from LAW.

One assumes they will now rename themselves Left Out of Labour. (LOL).

Peter & the Wolf -Viv Stanshall with Various Artists (Cherry Red Records)

 

Those of us from a certain generation will be familiar with Peter and the Wolf from our schooldays. This classical work was originally written by Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) in 1936 and uses a story to introduce listeners to the whole range of the orchestra. A wonderful piece still performed to this day by orchestras.

It should come as no surprise that it was adapted by "prog rockers" in  1975 and features a whole range of great musicians from that wonderful period of music including Manfred Mann (who "plays" Peter), Gary Brooker as "Bird", Gary Spedding the "duck", Gary Moore as "Duck" and Stephane Grapelli, Wolf.

Other musicians include Eno, Jack Lancaster, Julie Tippet, Bill Bruford, Phil Colllis, Cozy Powell. Aklvin Lee and many more. They are joined by the English Chorale.

Topped off with narration from the wonderful Vivian Stanshall this is certainly a "must have" for any record collection!*

*Yes I know it's a CD but I speak in an old fashioned way!

This was released yesterday (Friday 26th November). I pre-ordered a copy but it seems it's out of stock already. In case they do a second pressing here is the link: www.cherryred.co.uk

There's trouble in Labour Against the Witch Hunt and Williamson to set up a new party.

 

It seems that the deranged and duplicitous leftists in and around the hard left of the Labour Party are all starting to fall out with each other and even indulging in some of the strangest accusations against anti-racist campaigners that have been heard since the hey days of Gerry Healy's rantings in the pages of The News Line.

According to Chris Williamson the organisation Hope Not Hate (well known for it's anti-racist work over the years in everything from the media to football) is now accused of being racist for reasons best known to the nefarious  one himself.

Talking of Jokers the various activists of Labour Against the Witch Hunt (LAW), Labour In Exile (LIE) and the Labour Left Alliance (LLA) have suddenly discovered antisemitism in the Labour Party probably at the behest of the treacherous Jewish Voice for Labour (JVL) that at least one of the signatories of the letter below. It seems it's only antisemitic to expel left wing Jews despite the Greenstiens of this world having spent years to proscribe the mainstream Jewish Labour Movement. 

These schmucks who consider everybody but themselves the "wrong type of Jew" are lashing out as they are expelled for their various misdemeanours and extremist politcs which include covering for and excusing antisemitism within the Corbynite and Marxist left.

Chris Williamson is now turning his Resist groupscule into yet another "Socialist" Party. So many groups now competing for an ever declining audience. Even the Young Communist League is doing better than these sectarian wasters it seems.

Various individuals (all in "personal capacity" of course) are calling for LAW and LIE to merge into one group so that they only have to pay membership for one organisation. Their venom at the moment is aimed at their former allies in the Labour Party Marxists or Communist Party of Great Britain (Weekly Worker) as they have been known for years.

Their slanging match conference is tomorrow. Oh to be a fly on the wall or not...its gonna be a cold day the hot air generated should at least keep them warm!
