The SWP, basically the Sheffield Stop the War Coalition
[1] is now just a husk run by the SWP... almost everone
else has left, their email discussion list is dead... But
there are lots of other groups that have come out of the
anti-war protests in the last couple of years that are a
lot more healthy and are not organised like churches, for
example the Sheffield Social Forum [2], Sheffield
Indymedia (where there is a load of coverage of the
actions yesterday, [3], The Creative Action Network [4],
the socialist youth group that came out of the school
students walkout etc..
