....Workshops on how to support the UK governments Islamophobic racist agenda, how to campaign in favour of the occupation of Iraq, how to support the Israeli states genocide against Palestinians and generally how to be on the wrong side in today's decisive conflicts.

Genuine studnet left activists STEER CLEAR!

Yes, we need a student left....but I would not support anything organised by these AWL SCUM.

I went to the ENS conference and it included a speaker from the Mulim gay and lesbian group Imaan, an Iraqi trade unionist fighting the US/British occupation as well as the Islamist "resistance" and a report on a solidarity visit to Israel/Palestine, exposing the reality of the settlements and the separation wall very clearly. All this could be seen from a quick look at the agenda, linked to from the previous post.

I have said this before on this site and I'll say it again. People like "Moon Whippet" don't go to meetings or protests, aren't active, never care to reveal who they are for fear someone might know them and point out the above. They just lurk around left websites flingin insults at people. Why do they bother?!
