Yipeee... Something for anti-war activists to expend their energies on. The SWP have been pushing to create an electoral bandwagon out of the Stop the War Coallition since the first big demo. Now you have it, a really "broad" "serious" attempt to do .... errr.... hmmm... well.... "We have to do something with all the people mobilised", "we could give blair a real shock"...

I hate everone who never even bothers to talk to anoyone unless its on the internet, its typical indymedia shit to go and post a load of links to difrent things that anyone with a life couldnt be bothered to read!

Its funny that all the people who sound all high and fucking mighty on indymeadia acutuly are the ones who do fuck all to buld the anti-war movement, cos there spending there time on the computer all the time! So fuck off you can carry on slaging off people in the swp but your never gonna change the world cos your stuck in front of your fucking computer screens all day and you never talk to anyone who is real.

And if you ever have a meeting theres just 2 of you and you have to wave your hands arround if you wanna say something, fuck off thats not democracy if it dosn't challenge anything! The respect coalition like it or not will challagnge the fabric of socity, do you wanna be part of that or do you wanna go on insulting me on the internet. If you do you can carry on, but if I ever see you in real life, witch is unlikely, i will probibly find out how rich and middle class you all are, and not even be bothered to kick the shit out of you, you gobshites!
