Angry socialists fight back in bitter newswire war
In a shock announcement the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) have declared a boycott on posting to Indymedia in protest against one of their election advertisements being removed from the newswire.
In a letter to be sent to all their members this weekend the SWP will detail the reasons for the ban. Any member caught posting will immediately be thrown out of the party and have their badges confiscated. All over Ireland intelligent people who can think for themselves will be organising parties to celebrate the decision.
