Crap Comrades; Mark Thomas has had enough of the SWP

Written in 2003 in part a reaction to the antics of the SWP (Socialist Workers Party) inside the then campaign against the Iraq war (under the SWP's front group Stop The War Coalition or SWTC for short). Mark Thomas comically lays out the problems with the leftist group, namely its conservatism, its uncooperative attitude to other radical groups, its constant emphasis on party building and its hostility to any form of spontaneity which it can't ultimately control.
