Stop STW
Kate Godfrey wrote a great piece recently about the background to the Stop the War (STW) coalition which Caroline Lucas from the Green Party has just left.
Now STW has a complex history, but essentially it is a front organisation for various leftist groups including the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) which self-destructed recently over serious rape allegations against a leading 'comrade' that were dealt with in-house by a committee in preference to involving the police.
Says it all really, bonkers as can be, but Kate Godfrey (a Labour activist) saves her best for last when she asks at the end of her piece:
So summarise. What’s good about Stop the War?
The name.
What’s wrong about Stop the War?
Everything else.
Ha ha, now that is funny and you can read the rest of what Kate has to say about STW via the following link:

1 Who are Stop the War?
Stop the War (StW) are a campaign group that, in recent years, has campaigned against some military action (not backed by Russia) and supported other military action (that backed by Russia). Occasionally they branch out, and things go really wrong.
