United Left Surrender position?

I can’t resist either posting this web picture of my old mucker, NEC member and Bromley Local government branch secretary, Glen Kelly, at the recent United Left Trotference in London.

What is Glenn on about I hear you say?

Is he surrendering to the forces of light and progression?

Is he indicating the trade union density you need to start a revolution?

Or is he referring to the average number of votes that SPEW (Socialist Party of England & Wales) get at each seat they contest at a general election?

I thought SPEW had Left United Left?

I think we should be told? If you have any other ideas no doubt you will let me know.

Hat tip to Comrade Mercader

I think he's doing the King Cnut thing (check that spelling will you?) - trying to turn back the waves that are washing away Trotskyism!

(Which - for the pedants amongst us - I know is unfair to Cnut as he was really trying to show he was a mere mortal...)

Perhaps the left are finally uniting behind the real problems in our union - the paid help and their bag carriers!

Is this the same Cde kelly who on the UNISON pay demo in London carried copies of the Socialist rather than a UNISON placard

So who does he represent when hes on a demo

NEC member, Service Group member, Branch sec

or non of the above as he is there in his Socialist Party capacity
