Strikers thank SWP for donation

THANK YOU to SWP members for your generous donation to our strike fund.

Our first strike, also the first in Trinity Mirror since the company was formed three years ago, has gone superbly well, largely because of the support we have from all sections of the community. We appreciate very much your gesture of solidarity, and we were proud to welcome you.

WILL MAPPLEBECK, NUJ father of chapel (union branch secretary), Newcastle Evening Chronicle and Sunday Sun

Am I missing some kind of really funny sectarian joke here?

Please enlighten me.

Listen prickhead, the only think you are missing is a brain. No, I am not a SWP supporter. I am the guy who thinks that the SWP isn't Trot enough right? But I do think that that they might be moving in the right direction.

I was Liverpool branch secretary of the SWP 30 years ago when they had three factory branches in one Liverpool industrial estate alone: two in large car plants and another in a large pharmaceutical plant (Glaxo) where they were elected to a majority of the shop stewards committee. In the same year they led a highly successful mass total rent strike in the Liverpool suburb of Kirkby (the Tower Hill rent strike) which ended up with the leaders in prison.

Over they years they have tirelessly supported strikes and progressive causes and therefore the above post does not "confuse" me at all--it is a simple thank you from a working class person who acknowledges their support. But you, obvioulsy, are too much of an asshole to appreciate such simple, uncomplicated truths.

This is a genuine letter from a genuine striker.

I'd like to say, on behalf of God and my disciples, that if it wasn't for the SWP, I wouldn't be here and there'd be no hope of salvation in the after-life. Tony Cliff is with me here, at God's right hand, and wants to say "hi" and to tell everyone to stay in touch with proletariat. I mean, I need them to brush my beard and clean my cloud. Oh, but you can forget the Liverpudlians - they are bloody doomed to hell.
