Anyone who ever did any student politics grasps this playbook:
A teaching union has backtracked on its appointment of Matt Wrack, former head of the Fire Brigades Union, as its new general secretary after a legal challenge.
The National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT) had announced Wrack in the role on Tuesday but on Sunday it said that nominations would be reopened.
He would have been the NASUWT’s first leader not to have a professional background in education.
Branches were informed that the union’s national executive had received “further legal advice” over flaws in the nomination process that had excluded other candidates and allowed Wrack to be appointed unopposed as the executive’s “preferred candidate”, The Guardian reported.
Yes, yes, yes, of course it’s all wholly and entirely democratic. Look, see, we voted on it!
But the actually important vote isn’t all the peeps, oh no. It’s always the revolutionary vanguard who sit on the rules committee, which has the rules nomination committee behind it, which is in turn advised by the nomination rules committee which meets at 3 am in the basement of the Trot Party HQ and behind the door market beware of the face eating leopard….
The point of revolutionary democracy being that the peeps must do what they’re damn well told to by the revolutionary vanguard – democracy, see?
Seen today:
“predictors of being woke are scientific ignorance, having a mental disorder, and being female. Another way of thinking about this might be that wokeness itself, at least in its most extreme manifestation, is a mental disorder that primarily affects low-IQ women, though I would add to that low-IQ, effeminate men.”
What about the members of NASUWT, then?

Couldn’t Matt Wrack share it with the losing candidate, Ron Ruin?
Wrack got 110% of the vote.
By the vanguard revolutionary committee, not the enemy of the people evolutionary committee of the vanguard you back stabbing scab splinter factionalist! Now turn around and face the wall, former comrade!
