hi mark I think you've laid out a good summary here. I'm basically in agreement with it and as you know I feel it is important that pps-uk addresses these issues now. The choice now seems to me do we pursue this agenda in setting up thes...

Hi Anders and thanks for considering and replying to this. Regarding the federated structure you mention my thinking is that this would develop out of step five as more people joined.

In this blog I spell-out (next six steps) what I would like to see happen with the IOPS group. I feel the group has great potential if only members prioritised moving it forward more as part of their activism.

Fair enough. I'm not sure I would be the right person to organise a day school, given that I'm not yet convinced PPS-UK is the ideal vehicle for driving forward a libertarian socialist vision. I would be happy to attend and participate an...

Hello Matt - whilst we haven’t done exactly what you describe - a day school etc - what we do do is have regular National gatherings to which all members are invited to attend and where people can present, discuss etc... For example, at the...
