Is Stand Up To Racism an SWP front?
Tired of being asked to "prove" that SUTR is a front organisation for the Socialist Workers Party, I made this quick Storify [archived].
Apologies if it's a bit amateur.

Stand Up To Racism definitely isn't an SWP front is it? pic.twitter.com/SRaZdc1Mnp- SUTR leaflets are always handed out by SWP activists. SUTR stands and SWP stands are indistinguishable.
Stand Up to Racism absolutely definitely isn't an SWP front at all even slightly, part 39 pic.twitter.com/RWaEMuFziF- SWP activists, e.g. Gary McFarlane, are usually billed as "SUTR" rather than "SWP" in SWP publicity.
More on "SUTR isn't an SWP front" - this time inc. Gary Mcfarlane - an SWP member who abuses anti-racist activists opposing him. @FuckSWP pic.twitter.com/cFuF4UyYSL- SWP and SUTR publicity are indistinguishable
SUTR is not an SWP front, they are distinct organisations which coincidentally use the same font and fly poster the same places. pic.twitter.com/Fy1LM3zaCd- The SWP even brag about organising SUTR
Notes for a swappie mtg from last year. Still wanna debate how SUTR isn't a front? #fuckswp #fucksutr No platform for rape apologists pic.twitter.com/xwPgXv1Mez
OK so if SUTR really isn't a SWP front, why are they all right with the SWP claiming credit? https://theleftberlin.wordpress.com/current-debates/brexit-and-the-british-left-a-debate-between-joseph-choonara-and-pete-green/ … pic.twitter.com/qiE1GutbK4
Anyone who thinks Stand Up To Racism isn't an SWP front, this is SWP's own website, from their January conference: pic.twitter.com/W7e3NFn33z- Ex-SWP members will regularly tell you this
- @Jimi_Zine Stand Up To Racism is an SWP front organisation.
- It's not a secret
- @Jimi_Zine just check SWP's Party Notes, and the leaflets it produces. It's not, to repeat, a secret. Anyone in that milieu knows it.
- Just because non-SWP speakers get on their platforms (out of ignorance, or vanity, or because they don't care), doesn't mean the SWP doesn't run the show
- @Jimi_Zine not a big secret that Stand Up To Racism is organised by the SWP. The fact that they persuade non-members to speak - irrelevant.
