"CPGB": Time to tell the truth

The pathetic intervention of the CPGB at the AWL-Machover on Sunday has been followed by an even more pathetic write up in its paper, the Weekly Worker (16 October). Interestingly, it does not print what its own comrades said – as we have in Solidarity – since to do so would expose the apolitical poverty of their contributions.
The CPGB gave out a leaflet headed “time for politics” at the debate – yet none of its speakers said anything substantial about either Israel-Palestine or about Iran. Instead, the tone was set by the hysterical Ben Lewis, and reiterated by editor Peter Manson and “guru” John Bridge – lying about Sean Matgamna in order to whip up left public opinion against the AWL.
