So word is going round that a few days ago some students attempted to occupy a ULU building. Clare Solomon, president of ULU, member of Counterfire (SWP split group) and someone who has positioned herself as a voice of anti-cuts protesters in the media, got wind of it. She turned up with other union counterfire goons and physically barred the way into the building, claiming that it would be a 'divisive' action (ironic huh?) and would undermine the hard work of Clare Solomon and her friends - really, that was her argument against it.The argument of the would-be occupiers was that they wanted to directly control the space that was theirs, rather than have a professionalised management. It would obviously then have become more of a political organising space. Clare Solomon took it upon herself to decide this was 'counterproductive' and enforce that view. I guess you can take the girl out of the SWP but you can't take the identification with worthless institutions out of the girl...I try not to be sectarian, I really do, but these trot mobs have spent so long talking radical while suppressing actual radical action that I think it's worth mentioning this and putting it on record.Actually my reaction to this story isn't to be pissed off. I find it kind of hilarious, because this story is now known to every student occupier in London and everyone has seen Counterfire's true colours. There are a lot of new occupations starting up right now, intended as medium-term political organising spaces. So this is all part of the fun and games, and I'm just passing it on because, well, I thought you might like a laugh too
