Clare Solomon spent four years in the Socialist Workers Party until she was expelled last year. She is a 37 year old mature student and was, until today, the President of the University of London Union: a post which she succeeded to after the person who came first was disqualified.
You will be delighted to hear that she has been defeated, again, in the election for the ULU President. Let’s hope this is the last we hear of her.
Solomon is also a disgusting racist, who got into trouble last year when she posted antisemitic comments about Jews on her Facebook page.
It therefore is unsurprising to find that Counterfire, the useless vanity project for Germaine Lindsay and John Rees – who were expelled and resigned from the Socialist Workers Party – had invested strongly in Clare Solomon’s campaign.
Very nice to see them disappointed too.
Tacitus Speaks will examine historical and present day fascism and the far right in the UK. I will examine the fascism during the inter-war years (British Fascisti, Mosely and the BUF), the post-war far right as well as current issues within present day fascist movements across Europe and the US.. One of the core themes will be to understand what is fascism, why do people become fascists and how did history help create the modern day far-right.
