SWP activist being paid for out of GR funds

An e-mail from the GR e-group asking why an SWP member/ex-activist is being paid for out of GR funds.

I've recently heard that GR funds are being used to pay for a full-time activist who is, surprise surprise, an SWP member and one of their ex-organisers. If this is true this is yet another example of the SWP using GR as a front. Where was the democracy in this decision? I'm a GR member and was never consulted. These funds are raised by GR supporters and surely they should be consulted if a big chunk is gonna be spent on an SWP activist!!! As I said if this is true it's an outrage.
