The SWP and a group of Islamists managed to force through a motion in SOAS student union today to make ken livingstone honourary president of SOAS.
In spite of the fact that Vanunu was proposed as an alternative, on the grounds that it would bring greater publicity to Palestine issues and his detention by Israel...trots and islamists used every trot trick in the book to force through the motion.
At the end of the aggresive discussion, they changed the constitution from needing a 2/3 majority to make Ken President, to a 50% majority, because they were worried they'd lose the vote. (Which they clearly would have done)
Jewish members of the Student Union who supported the motion to make Vanunu President, and who also campaign for Palestinian rights, were shouted down and heckled.
maybe the trots think that if they do ken a favour, he'll give them more government money for some trot event or other.
Fuck wits, the lots of 'em. Viva viva Anarchy!
