Comrades we have taken a lot of stick over the Annoy the Swappies badges and mosts of all the Ramon Mercader one which we though was really funny.
So in the interests of solidarity and brotherly love we have produced a nice badge for you to wear for your Swappie mates
I used to work with someone who was in the swp. He wasn’t my mate then but now he is but no longer in the swp. So i guess it is unlikely.
Well it’s an improvement, I’ll give you that.
I think the problem’s more than a badge in bad taste. The SWP probably has a membership of 4000 (max) while the UK has a population of about 62 million. My maths isn’t great but I reckon this means that it’s extremely unlikely you’ll have a mate in the SWP. Unless, that is, you live in the political/activist ghetto and the people you know and socialise with are mostly politicos.
The fact that many anarchists have friends in the SWP is because the anarchist movement very rarely emerges from the political ghetto and has orientated itself towards the SWP for the last decade. Hence, why you don’t think a protest called by an SWP front group (Right to Work) outside the Tory Party conference is a waste of time and money.
