UK - Trouble for Galloway and Stop the War Coalition

Harry's Place reports.

"It looks like Rees will have his work cut out for him in Swansea - they're trying to 'no platform' the whole of Respect:"

The motion resolves to “no platform Mr Galloway and any member of RESPECT in accordance with the Union’s anti-fascist stance” and to forbid Swansea students from holding membership of RESPECT Students. It also proposes to withdraw Union membership from the Stop The War Coalition until Mr Galloway steps down from his position as Vice-President of the organisation.

The motion accuses the Party of collaborating with “Islamofascist” groups who support the death penalty for homosexuality, and criticises the RESPECT Students movement for allegedly labelling supporters of the 2003 Iraq war “racists” and for “hijacking Union campaigns to promote themselves and their own agenda”.


What took them so long?
