Dear Tim
Good news you have left a pro-war political organisation Bham Left Unity. I enclose the recent Bham StWC email bulletin. It deals with the prospect of a military conflict between China and US and British imperialism. Will Bham Left Unity support US and British imperialism in its military conflict with China?
The other question deliberately avoided by Bob in his reply to you is that given he supports the Tory government arming the right wing government in Ukraine is how you pay for these arm supplies. They have spent £8 billion on these arm supplies (it would cost £1.7 billion to reinstate benefits for the 3rd or 4th child). What benefits or public sector pay does Bob propose to cut to pay for this £8 billion cost of Ukrainian arm supplies?
Similarly the pro-war left (Ukrainian solidarity campaign) are also silent on the partial suppression of the Ukrainian trade union movement, banning the Ukrainian Communist Party in 2014 and the banning of 14 Left wing organisations in March 2022 (one with 10% of the MPs and several that obviously derive from the Trotskyist tradition).
The logic of their position is a victory for American imperialism!!
