There's no respect for RESPECT!

The RESPECT coalition is in a make-or-break situation with the local elections now upon us.

The SWP have thrown in their lot with the opportunist Galloway and petit-bourgeois and bourgeois Islamic fundamentalists. It comes as no surprise that there is concern within the SWP and other left groups that the coalition is reaching crisis point. For further info see Weekly Worker from mid April.

Even if the coalition does well in the areas it stands in, this will merely reinforce the perception that they are a Muslim party. This is a critical mistake by the middle-class liberals of the SWP at a time when the BNP are making great advances among the white, working class in former Labour strongholds, like Barking and Dagenham.

The nauseating SWP will never appeal to the working class as they are slimy, middle class, politically correct, feminists and liberals. This is not to mention the millionaires amongst their ranks such as Alex Callinicos, Mark Steel, Galloway, etc. No self respecting worker would be seen dead in their company.

Unfortunately the following quote appears to be no longer a joke:

"Let's face it, the middle class politically correct screeching of the SWP is enough to turn anyone to fascism."
