Got the text of resolutions to be debated at our union meeting this week, it looks like we can expect a long and ugly fight about Israel and Palestine. Some thoughts:

1. The union is a democratic organisation, anybody who wants to propose a resolution has the right to propose one.

2. Should the union be a debating society for political issues? I say probably mostly not, but understand why some people disagree.

3. It's a bit of a problem when these recurrent debates take the place of the union addressing concrete issues faced by union members, which seems to happen a lot more often than it should.

4. It would be nice if the branch leadership at least made an effort to maintain the appearance of neutrality instead of acting as a mouthpiece for SWP.

5. Leave the union? It's not theirs more than it is mine. Why hand it to a bunch of Stakhanovite poseurs?

6. Probably there is a bunch of us who would leave if there were an alternative union to join. Anyone for founding the Cognitariat Labour-Educational Federation (CLEF)?
