Ultra Left activity

It is inevitable that when there is an economic crisis smaller (tiny actually) little groups with insignificant number of members cease the opportunity to go out and recruit new members we therefore get the 'lets have a banana' syndrome which means that those involved with these groups start campaigning which is based on identifying what it is that angry people want to hear and tell them that. They go wrong of course when it comes to delivering what they promise mainly because what they say they can deliver won't happen. They believe that everyone is ready to reject every attempt to resolve any problem and want to start a revolution. I think most of them would like us to live under Enver Hodga conditions in Albania. Thankfully the vast majority of workers are not naive and they soon realise that the road down the ultra left adventure avenue is simply an attempt by these 'groups' to fulfil their own banana type fantasies. And for the avoidance of any doubt I am excluding from this criticism the well established Socialist Party and the Socialist Workers Party who are, to be fair to them, recognised and well organised forces on the left (not that I am linked to them in any way...)
And of course you have your little other entities attacking these two forces on the left, indeed that appears to be top on their priority rather than the class struggle! So how do you deal with these fantasists? I don't think there is a major problem as they are small in number and they are harmless on the ground but it is a fact that they move in when they see a gap and try to take up resources etc and whilst I do not accept that anyone in any union should embark on a witch hunt those of us aware of what is going on need to keep an eye out and inform the members and tell them the truth so fight them democratically and expose them .

  1. Hey Mr Nick, you need to sort your own branch out first before you preach to others? The news is that there was a take over in Lambeth? Is this true? And who does what down there?

  3. Some major contradictions on your blog. You declare your left wing credentials yet you take a Stalinist approach inside your own Branch and advocate strict adherence to decisions made by yourself and your 'clique' In fact you act like a dictator. Of course no one dares to challenge you or Rogers but things are changing and very fast...

    I don't know why you feel lost? You are a competent hard working Labour party realist on the left of Labour and you are in the same category as others. You are fighting within the Labour party for real change and a return back to real Labour party principles. Where were you lost? On Upper Street in Islington? lol.. sorry bad joke
    Take care!

    I take offense to being compared with Stalin. That moustache just didn't suit him and his dress sense was vile! Stop imagining me as someone else in your mind, its not healthy! I am not some sex object! Branch committees (and have plenty of them) keep me under control believe you me! Now if you thought I was more like Billy Piper then I would understand, blond and young.. chill out?? I know who you are!!
