deciding whether to come along or not - when I last spoke to them about it, however, they
were worried about the alleged SWP control of 'Defend Council Housing' and seemed to be
leaning towards not coming to this meeting. I assume that they will be campaigning against
stock transfer/ALMOs/PFIs in Blackbird Leys anyway, tho personally I think a unified
campaign would be better.

The idea that UNISON and a local defend council housing campaign are SWP 'fronts' is ridiculous and no reason not to attend a meeting on such a serious issue. DCH has organised some extremely serious campaigns up and down the country with a huge level of tenant and trade union involvement.
If this is a typical example of the IWCA behaviour then it would be hard to see them as any more progressive or serious than any of the thousands of independent councillors up and down the country. They should be fighting to get on the platform and using their significant roots to build the best possible resistance not questioning whether to support the campaign.

Not a front

OK, I know there are a lot of seemingly non-party SWP front organisations around ("Globalise Resistance" is particularly silly) but if DCH was one of them I think I'd have noticed.
