    Labour and the Struggle for Socialism An ON THE BRINK Publication WIN Publications Summer 2020 On the Brink Editor: Roger Silverman, [email protected] Published by Workers International Network (WIN), contact: [email protected] Front cover photo: Phil Maxwell Labour and the Struggle for Socialism By Roger Silverman From THE RED FLAG (still the Labour Party’s official anthem) The people’s flag is deepest red, It shrouded oft our martyred dead, And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold, Their hearts’ blood dyed its every fold. CHORUS: Then raise the scarlet standard high. Beneath its shade we’ll live and die, Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer, We’ll keep the red flag flying here. With heads uncovered swear we all To bear it onward till we fall. Come dungeons dark or gallows grim, This song shall be our parting hymn. A Turning Point The recently leaked report of the antics of a clique of unaccountable bureaucrats ensconced in Labour headquarters has sent shock waves throughout the movement. Shock – but little surprise, because these creatures had always been in effect “hiding in plain sight”: ostensibly running the party machine, but actually hardly bothering to conceal their sabotage. All that was new was the revelation of the depths of their venom; their treachery; their racist bigotry; the vulgarity with which they bragged about their disloyalty; their contempt for the aspirations of the hundreds of thousands who had surged into the party behind its most popular leader ever, Jeremy Corbyn. They had betrayed the party that employed them and wilfully sabotaged the election prospects of a Labour government.

  • Beauty and the Beast
    STOWE 2015-16 mail NEWS HIGHLIGHTS The 2015-2016 season of Robotics at Stowe saw the Junior and Senior teams qualify for the National Finals. Both teams reached the semi-final, but ended up facing each other. The Senior team prevailed and went on to become National Finalists and claim their place among StoweBots 500 of the world’s top teams at the VEX World Robotics Finals. The 2016 World Finals was the biggest robotics competition ever, setting a Guinness World Record with over 1,075 teams from 32 countries, and 20,000 people take on the World in attendance. The scale of the competition and venue was truly astonishing and beyond all expectations. Over the three days of competition the team played ten qualifying matches in the hope of making the playoff games. The team preformed incredibly well, holding its own in each match. Sadly the robot suffered some technical difficulties beyond our control. A change of CPU fixed the problem, but the losses put us further down the qualification ranking than we could have been. The StoweBots finished winning four out of the ten games and were placed 56 out of the 100 teams in their group. However, every single game they played was close despite the difficulties. The other aspect that shows the strength of our performance was the SP score of the team. This is the total score that your opponents achieved in your games; the higher the score the closer and more difficult the games were. The StoweBots SP score was 1658 and tenth highest of the group.

    CENTRE FOR CORpORaTE RE puTaTiON How Reputations are Won and Lost in Modern Information Markets A white paper for policy-makers, practitioners and academics May 2014 2 University of San Diego School of Law I University of Oxford Centre for Corporate Reputation Contents 1. Introduction 5 2. Policy Implications and Recommendations 7 3. Convergent Themes 10 4 Panels 18 Appendices A Panel 1 discussion – Technological Change 28 B Panel 2 discussion – Proliferation of Stakeholders and Audiences 46 C Panel 3 discussion – Polarisation 60 D List of Speakers 70 3 1 Introduction On January 17-18, 2014, the University of San Diego Center for Corporate and Securities Law and the Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation co-sponsored a conference at the University of San Diego on “How Reputations Are Won and Lost in Modern Information Markets.” The discussion included public remarks by more than a dozen prominent experts from academic, business, and media. The videotaped remarks, along with panel discussions and questions, are available at http://www.sandiego.edu/ law/school/events/webcasts/2014.php The transcripts are attached in the Appendix. After the public sessions, a Conference Editorial Board (CEB) was convened consisting of the public speakers and a small number of additional invited members. The CEB discussed the issues and themes from the public sessions, and considered the organisational and public policy implications that emerged. This White Paper contains our policy recommendations in Section 2 and summarises the conference in Section 3 and the convergent themes emerging from the subsequent discussions in Section 4. We hope this White Paper will contribute meaningfully to the debate around how modern information markets affect how organisations and institutions engage with society to deliver outcomes, and that it will be a useful reference document for policy-makers seeking insight into how they might use reputation as a mechanism to hold organisations and institutions to account.

We also welcome them as Old Owenians, hope they’ll keep in touch by reading our Old Owenians Newsletters and come back to join us at some of our 400th anniversary events next year. Perhaps they’ll revisit the school, as over 120 of you did for our highly successful first ever Old Owenians Coffee and Tour morning on Saturday 26th May—read more on pages 3 and 4! We were delighted that our school was represented on two significant Jubilee occasions by current and past students… ...our Deputy Head Girl, Alice Robinson, was honoured to be invited to attend the Westminster Hall celebration lunch with members of the Worshipful Company of Brewers (our school’s trustee), following the Diamond Jubilee Thanksgiving Service at St Paul’s Cathedral on Tuesday 5th June. It was hosted by the 108 Livery Companies of the City of London—around 700 guests and representatives of charities and the armed forces dined with members of the Royal Family. The Livery Companies originated in medieval times as Guilds responsible for trade regulation—today the Companies use their funds to undertake charitable and community work. Alice, whose name was drawn out of a hat for the opportunity to attend, comments on page 5.
