300+ at School students against war meeting in Belfast

School students against war {SSAW} in Belfast after speaking on behalf of youth in the North at the Belfast Feb 15th Demo have held a debate today. Barbara Muldoon SWP and Anti War Movement debated Bob McCartney of the UK unionist party. Over 300 schoolstudents attended the debate. Although only recently formed SSAW have went from strength to strength with already a brief TV slot on prime time news and on radio and today in a paper I picked up gave them almost a half page picture of their big contingent on the demo lead by their banner. Good to see

Please comrade ours is bigger than yours is infantile and is an embarrasment to our party, probably why you didn't sign your name! Try to control yourself! The truth is most people will join an organisation because its against the war, not because of sectarian politics, and why shouldn't they?
