Correction (1995)

From the October 1995 issue of the Socialist Standard

Although we have no objection to workers helping other workers suffering from some humanitarian catastrophe, we do not endorse particular organisations. We are therefore obliged to repudiate an article in issue No 5 of our Norwich Group's Newsletter which implied our support for the organisation "Workers Aid for Bosnia". This expressed an individual view and not that of the Group or the Socialist Party.

I never read the article at the time. (Never saw the newsletter at the time.) Sadly, one of the fallouts from this was that Ian Simpson left the SPGB over the issue. One of the objections at the time was that Workers Aid for Bosnia was a front for a couple of Trotskyist organisations.
