1 STRONGLY agree with Steve Rose's in favour autonomous Socialist groups (26 October). This has proved to be extremely difficult, however, in a city like Liverpool which has a relatively large and already structured left, consisting of competing groups.
For example, in Liverpool we have had meetings organised in support of separatelv bv Big Flame and Socialist Challenge. These could no doubt have been more successful had they been organised jointly, following example Combine in united action.
There are examples of co-operation, such as in Socialist activities Liverpool have been dominated by the IMG, intentionally or unintentionaiv. We hope to overcome this by organising regular meetings, including debates with other groups.
To succeed in autonomous supporters group, we obviously need to attract and involve independents OUE including solidarity action in support of struggles such as those of the Ford workers and social workers.
