  Some? Is there anything but scumbaggery?

  Madame Miao, who is or was a member, once made a comment about the SWP F*ck Circuit or something. No, I don’t think it is all Healey.

  But isn’t it Class A Scumbaggery? The Capitalist justice system is unacceptable, so you have to keep it within the party. Which sides with the trusted comrade. Naturally.

  At least they didn’t put a tyre around anyone’s neck and set them on fire. But perhaps that is just because they aren’t close enough to power.

  It’s a good indication these groups are just cults, like religious cults – which also see sexual abuse by leaders on young impressionable members.

  Homework, young Worstall !

  The SWP already has Financial Scandals you can point out.

  There’s another one as well somewhere about that the key issue is for the leadership to continue to live free off he assets, but I can’t spot that at present.

  Matthew L, SMFS – isn’t there scumbaggery about all politics, when you get to the heart of it?

  JuliaM – “isn’t there scumbaggery about all politics, when you get to the heart of it?”

  I think it is a question of degrees. And the SWP has long had a leadership that is rumoured to be interested in working on university campuses because, well, young people are idiots, but also because they like f**king young co-eds.

  Plus there’s that whole genocide thing they are working towards.
