This organisation is a front for the Labour Party and their old side kicks the Union of Jewish Students. These two organisations have repeatedly and undemocratically carved up the NUS for decades, providing a platform for New Labour hacks to become MP's and preventing any criticism of the state of Israel by student unions.

As a political party the Labour Party has killed more non-white people in Iraq than the BNP could ever dream of, it has miss-led Britain into an unlawful war and is screwing British workers (of all colours) by mass immigration in order to keep wages low so the CBI can make money.

Their campaign against 'Theocracy' never mentions that all marriages in Israel are subject to religious authorities and a rabbi must give permission before a woman can divorce her husband - so much for Israel being like a democratic western society or any less 'Theocratic' than Iran.

This organisation is a propaganda front preparing people for the forth coming war against Iran - check out who also is beating the war drums!

Why the fuck is this organisation being allowed to advertise on Indymedia? Why not give David Cameron or Nick Griffin the chance to put across their points of view?

The struggle against the BNP begins with the struggle against New Labour!

No Platform for Fascists and Racists!

No War but the Class War!

The motions which Education Not for Sale has put forward at NUS conference have, for the most part, been opposed by the right-wing Labour Students bloc. ENS is a vital radical force within NUS and has nothing to do with the Blairite careerists who threaten to wring the life out of the Union.

The briefest perusal of the literature put out by the organisations who are listed above will show that they are opposed to the neoliberal agenda put forward by New Labour, whilst acknowledging that the Labour Party - as a party founded by and for the Trade Unions - still has the potential to become a radical force in the future, so long as socialists engage with the party, the unions and each other - and don't engage with the petty, paranoid, knee-jerk sectarian bickering being spouted by Lubbe above.
