SPGB Meetings (1988)

Party News from the October 1988 issue of the Socialist Standard





Blogger's Note:
Interesting to see that the debate with the left-wing Labour MP, Ron Brown, is listed as being on the 2nd of November, and that the SPGB speaker was to be the late Pieter Lawrence. According to this piece in the September 2024 issue of the Socialist Standard,  which gives the details of a Special Branch report on the meeting, the debate took place on the 7th December, and the SPGB speaker was Steve Coleman. Maybe Ron Brown debated the SPGB twice in the space of a month? I doubt it. Obviously the debate needed to be rearranged, and a new SPGB speaker sought.

I had to split the SPGB meetings over two posts. Too many meetings advertised in the October 1988 Socialist Standard. That's a good thing . . .
