SWP/SAW pull back from stupidity

The SWP (as "Schools Against War") has cancelled its 4:30 PM Day X rally in Belfast.

It appears that SWP/SAW have now cancelled what would have been an extremely stupid stunt and have fallen in behind the walkouts and 1:30 PM rally called by Youth Against War.

The call for a nice after school rally could only have had the effect of causing confusion and making it more difficult to organise significant strikes and walkouts in Belfast.

This is the second occasion that the SWP/SAW have cancelled similar plans in Belfast, the one area where their schools front exists. They previously had to shelve plans for a 4:30 rally on March 5, the day of the enormous walkouts across the North again called by Youth Against War.

To remind everyone, Youth Against War are organising school student walkouts at 12:30 and rallies at 1:00 across the North. In Belfast the rally will start at 1:30.
