This is Vijay Prashad, a well known "left-winger" globally and regular speaker on UK "anti-war" platforms.
In case it's not clear:
"Zero Covid" indicates support for the Chinese government against protesters.
And the highlighted Z indicates support for Russia's war in Ukraine.

Stop the War's calls for: “Stop sending arms [to Ukraine]; immediate ceasefire and peace negotiations.”
This is effective support for Russian victory + a regime of terror. Democratic, stable peace will only come after a Ukrainian victory.

We hope that this will finally put an end to Prashad being invited onto platforms that claim to be anti-war - since this is very clearly a statement of support for Russia's imperialist war in Ukraine.

The election of George Galloway is not a step forward for the left. He fought the election on a platform of thinly-veiled transphobia and homophobia, appealing to religious social conservatism and nationalism. We need a left that fights consistently for equality, everywhere.

It would be great to know if people who make such arguments believe workers in the USSR should have demanded it stop arming the Vietnamese resistance against the US in the 60s and 70s.
There is a tankie version of such argument, ie USSR/Vietnam good and US/Ukraine bad.

But tell that to the peoples of Afghanistan, for instance.
The real reason it was a good thing that the USSR armed the Vietnamese is not about the character of the "Soviet" govt and the Vietnamese resistance. It's about freedom from imperialist oppression.

Supporters of Workers’ Liberty went to protest against Galloway in Lewisham this evening. His self-serving reactionary politics have no place in any progressive working class movement!
Lewisham mayor candidate John Hamilton has just concluded his pre-election rally in Catford with guest speaker George Galloway, recently elected MP for Rochdale as hecklers protested against the two.
