offsite link Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

World Kindness Day may have passed you by. But it won't have passed by your children, whose school will have been sure to teach that climate action and open borders are essential elements of 'kindness', says Steven Tucker.

IAWM "General Meeting" announced

category national | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Sunday April 11, 2004 13:27author by Disgruntled IAWM member Report this post to the editors

IAWM attempts to revamp after expulsions, resignations and disaffiliations

The IAWM is apparently intent on revamping itself after resignations, expulsions, disaffiliations and growing disillusionment has seriously affected an organisation now no more than a front for the Socialist Workers Party. The meeting has been announced on the IAWM website but has yet to be sent by email to members/affliates. The announcement has not been posted on Indymedia.

Members/affiliates have been given 13 days to submit resolutions along with nominations for a steering committee election (a new steering committee is required after the existing one lost half its membership through resignations). 13 days may be enough for SWP/IAWM ghost branches to discuss resolutions/nominations, but is wholly inadequate for genuine/functioning anti-war groups affiliated to the IAWM. The agenda itself is typically weighted in favour of SWP tutorials, with only 1 hour given over to resolutions/election to the steering committee, and 1 hour to discuss a constitution for the IAWM.

The IAWM announcement:

The Steering Committee has decided to hold a general meeting of all members of the IAWM on Saturday 8 May 2004 in the Teachers Club, Parnell Square, Dublin 2.
 
The agenda will be as follows
 
12 noon - 1 pm Opening plenary session: International and domestic political situation

1 pm - 2 pm Lunch break
 
2 pm - 3 pm Workshops (running in parallel)
 
1.  Occupations (Palestine, Afghanistan, Chechnya and Iraq)
2. Militarism and the European Union
3. Civil liberties and the right to protest
4. Women in war and in the anti-war movement
 
3 pm - 4pm Plenary with resolutions, results of workshops and election of new steering committee
 
4 pm - 5 pm Organisation and a constitution for the IAWM
 
Please note that all members of the IAWM and one delegate from each of the affiliated organisations may attend and vote.
 
All resolutions for consideration and all nominations for the election to the new steering committee should be submitted at least two weeks before the date of the meeting (i.e. by 24 April) to the info@irishantiwar.org or to the Secretary, IAWM, PO Box 9260, Dublin 1.

Yes it has, it is in the events section, where it should be.

Mr Stephens - you seem to think that the only charge being made against your organisations (IAWM and SWP) is that you failed to post notice of the meeting on indymedia. You are absolutely correct in that you did indeed post it on indymedia. Now will you address the serious criticisms made about the meeting and - by extension - the IAWM.

PS Just exactly who is on the IAWM steering committee? And, if it's not too much trouble, the steering committee of the Bush campaign? Not a secret is it?

Not one mention or billed discussion of all the resignations/break up of the IAWM. How serious does something have to become before it gets on the agenda!! Does their need to be assasinations or something!!

And we all cry fowl when our issues are not listened to by the world's press and the world's politicians. Oh those bad, wicked, right wing millionaires. We will never be like you.

HYPOCRITES!!

There is not much more that is vile in the world.

Don't take a defensive attitude! OPEN UP. Face up to the problem. Deal with it. Look it in the eye. SOLVE IT. CHANGE.

Regards,
