Sorry. I should have been clearer. Tariq Ali's article was a joke but the witch-hunt against Corbyn is not. Unfortunately his decision to have remained as the nominal head of STWC was misguided. It made him vulnerable. In terms of Ali's article, his comment that SWTC "does NOT take positions on the demerits or otherwise of the Taliban, Saddam, Gaddafi, Assad. It is in favour of the withdrawal of ALL foreign troops (this includes the Russians) and bomber jets" is utter nonsense. I don't care about its pro-forma anti-intervention statements. The fact that its leading members go around giving speeches hailing Assad is what matters.
