[Marxism] BNP INFILTRATE SWP

Bulletin of London Class War)

BNP INFILTRATE SWP
THE BNP RECENTLY revealed that two of their members,
Diane Stokes and Joe Finnion, had daringly infiltrated Manchester
SWP. The easy bit was infiltrating them: risking the danger of
death by boredom was the daring part. According to the BNP, the
two spent a year in the SWP and its front groups, and were almost
immediately (s)elected for positions of responsibility.
The SWP's response to this has been silence. Where individual
members have said something, they have been very defensive
about the issue, and claiming that the infiltrators can't have got
their hands on any of the numerous lists of names and addresses
for which the SWP is famed. Though the BNP claim a number of
successes for their infiltrators, they haven't publicly claimed that
they are now in possession of internal SWP documents. This may
be because they could leave themselves open to criminal charges,
although those members of the SWP who have said anything
about this insist that the pair were not entrusted with such papers.
We find this hard to believe, considering that Stokes was given
positions of financial responsibility and the experiences of
ex-members of the SWP.

What is clear and alarming is that the BNP have used this tactic
for what seems to be the first time.

Although we at London Class War have long been
security-conscious, it's plainly a good idea to keep security on the
agenda. It's unlikely they'll try the same stunt soon, but it's best to
remain wary of newcomers overly demanding in their desire for
information. We are quite happy with our security -
which is more than can be said for the SWP!
