25 October

I've been getting a lively response to the pieces I wrote last week criticising the European Social Forum, and in particular the attempted stitching-up of the event by the hard left. One of my pieces has been featured here on Indymedia and has quite a good debate going on after it. And I've had a few emails from SWP members - all of them reasonably polite, incidentally; no spleen-venting as yet - which have led to me discussing this with them.

Not that any of us have changed each others' minds, I suspect. But it's good that this debate can be had, and that people on different sides of this fence can thrash out these issues like this. Maybe if enough people do it we can prevent it happening again.
