but if they care as much about others as has been alluded here then I think I would be proud to hold my head up in such company.
But that's the whole point, they don't.
The SWP exists solely for the benefit and enjoyment of it's own members. They don't give a toss about the workers or employees in the companies or organisations they "target" with thier past-it's sell-by rhetoric, other than to see them as pawns to be used in some vision of "the class struggle" they endlessly play out.
I well remember back in the Thatcher era standing on a cold picket line when some little tw*t came up spouting his SWP drivel, and a huge Glaswegian boiler-maker literally throwing this w**ker across the pavement.
If I could do the Glaswegian accent I would, but he basically said "You're happy to turn up now, but where are you at 3 o'clock in the morning when we need a cup of tea, or when do you make collections for the striker's families, or organise pickets, etc." All things the local union branches WERE doing, along with the local Labour Party, the local Trades Club and the rest.
As always, the little middle class twerps and students who comprise the SWP talk a good fight, but that's all it is, just mindless talk, and contributing nothing and doing nothing for the very people they claim to reach out to. Still, some will always be taken in, I suppose...
sod that NT, he's sent me right up the garden path 
, I suppose there's only one source of news/info you can trust, and that's Hellmail they never let you down 
You think anyone will believe this after everything you've said ?
