Talk:Workers Revolutionary Party (UK)

message: I feel that the page is lacking relevant information such as what the WRP actually did (achieved?) during the 70s and 80s. Instead it's filled with allegations that other parties/media have made. Some of these may be relevant, but more content of what WRP actually did is needed. For example, to cite the accusation of the Youth training centres as being anti-police, we should first mention something about the centres, where they were, what WRP aimed with them, otherwise even the allegations become meaningless. A passive reader could imagine army style camps, schools, etc.
I was directly associated with WRP in the 70/80s and the youth training centres were created from abandoned buildings, renovated, and made into a 'community centre' for urban areas where other resources had closed. There was one in Liverpool. There were jumble sales, craft classes, and young people could meet and chat. Strict classes were not held, it was very casual, and no more political than any average community centre would be.
WRP had candidates in many local elections, for council and government, with limited success, apart from the North west and Scotland which fared better. I cannot give stats but I assume they will be available somewhere. Many campaigns and petitions with protests (peaceful) took place to try and save or overturn decisions that would adversely affect communities, such as the well known Tory policies of closing small schools, taking away school milk, school dinners, community centres etc.
These had many successes that were documented in News Line at the time.
I hope this is helpful, I realise that I could be accused of using weasel words, but this is just supplying information in my own words. I would like to see a more historically balanced article, not just the negative allegations. I do not want to change the article myself before getting feedback otherwise I suspect my input would be removed.

message: Someone told me that Gary Younge, the Guardian Journalist and author of No Place Like Home was in the WRP.
He was a member of the WRP's CC in the 1970's but of no importance. He is still of no importance come to think of it.
If he is of no importance, why on earth did you bother to mention him?
[He is too young isn't he? He's in this 30s, surely --DuncanBCS 12:30, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

message: The very idea of NPOV may seem absurd to trotskyites, who are drawn to this article with magnetic force, but the quality of the article is terrible. I don't want to start hacking and slashing (don't have the time now) but is anyone else interested in maybe doing a bit of a revamp and citation hunt for a bunch of the stuff on the trots? Alternatively, am I paid agent of the CIA, Kremlin, Bejing, and the zionists? Can we put a bunch of work in without being set on fire?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.238.208.2 (talk) 22:44, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I propose merging The Club (Trotskyist) into Workers Revolutionary Party (UK). The section on The Club within the WRP article is already longer and contains more citations than the main article for The Club, which has been tagged as unsourced since 2009. Given that the WRP is the direct successor of The Club, through its time as the Socialist Labour League, I think it would be best to merge The Club article into the Workers Revolutionary Party article.Grnrchst (talk) 14:50, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
