Coffey’s ‘plan for patients’ boils down to more targets and some magical thinking

Posted by: John Phoenix Reams of empty phrasemongering are aimed at hiding the fact that Truss and co have no plan to do anything to fix the crisis in our health service. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel For decades, government after government has promised to ‘prioritise’, ‘improve’ and ‘fix’ the NHS. And yet, despite all the money poured into the pot marked ‘health service’, the experiences and outcomes for patients have continued to grow steadily worse – for the simple reason that it is not patients the endless reforms are aimed at serving, but profiteering monopoly capital. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1364010013&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true While Chance...

Gideon Levy: Palestinians are prohibited from defending their families from violent aggression

Posted by: John Phoenix Reposted with thanks from the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz, June 25, 2023 There aren’t many populations in the world as helpless as the Palestinians who live in their own country. No one protects their lives and property, let alone their dignity, and no one intends to do so. They are totally abandoned to their fates, as is their property. Their houses and cars can be torched, their fields set on fire. It’s all right to shoot them mercilessly, killing old people and babies, with no defence forces at their side. No police, no military: no one. If some such desperate defence force is organised, it’s immediately criminalised by Israel. Its fighters are labelled “terrorists,” their actions “terror attacks,” and their fates sealed, with death or prison the...

Dr Bob Gill: The demise of British primary healthcare

Posted by: John Phoenix First they came for the cleaners, then they came for the caterers, then for the porters, the student nurses and the junior doctors. Now they’re coming for the GPs. Bob Gill Subscribe to our  channel Our NHS is being slowly dismantled and sold out from under us in order to provide another cash cow to imperialist corporations. Are there enough honest and determined doctors to see and tell the truth? Are there enough class-conscious and action-ready workers to fight for the reinstatement of a real public healthcare system in Britain? The costs of failing in this mission will be high indeed. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1308764218&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user...

The ruin of the NHS for the benefit of private interests

Posted by: John Phoenix In their desperation for sources of profit, our exploiters as individuals even end up damaging their own collective interests. Lalkar writers Subscribe to our  channel The fatal undermining of the health service by round after round of privatisation is creating a social and economic time bomb at the heart of British society. And governments in the present conditions of economic crisis and the desperate quest of the monopolies for profits are powerless to change course. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1420944715&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true For as long as our party’s political publications have existed, our writers have been logging and commenting on ...

Covid: China changes gear

As the People’s Republic moves on from the era of zero-Covid, western media are desperate to portray its decision as a sign of failure. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel Members of a Chinese anti-epidemic medical team heading to Palestine to aid in the Covid emergency. China’s Covid response has always been focused entirely on the needs and wellbeing of her people, but that hasn’t stopped the country’s leaders from doing everything in their power to help combat the pandemic at a global level. Certainly, if others had followed China’s lead in the beginning the virus might have been stamped out in short order, so that the many terrible consequences of allowing it to let rip through the world population would have been averted. https://w.soundcloud.com/playe...
Why does Russia now believe that Covid-19 was a US-created bioweapon?

Why does Russia now believe that Covid-19 was a US-created bioweapon?

Evidence released from secret biolabs in Ukraine reveals the deeper secret of imperialist attempts to create targeted biological weapons. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel Abandoned papers found at US biolabs in Ukraine have led the Russian ministry of defence to declare its belief that Covid-19 is a bioweapon. Whether purposefully or accidentally leaked is not clear. What is becoming clear is that the holy grail of the imperialist bioweapons programme is producing diseases that will affect certain genotypes (Russian or Chinese in particular) more than others. Western mainstream media reporting of chemical, biological and genetic experimentation, ‘biosecurity’ and bioweapons has become so integral to the information war that it has bec...

Prigozhin’s failed mutiny

Collective west hopes dashed once more, as President Putin remains firmly in charge and Russia’s military continues to grind down Nato’s proxies in Ukraine. Lalkar writers Subscribe to our  channel While western media and politicians are desperate to assert that Vladimir Putin’s position has been weakened by Yevgeny Prigozhin’s ill-fated mutiny attempt, the reverse is quite clearly the case. Indeed, many would say that a troublesome fifth column has been smoked out, leaving Russian society even more unifed than before. On Saturday 24 June, Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner private military group, occupied key points in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, after which he began a march towards Moscow with a view to effecting a change in the composition of th...

Burden on students becoming unbearable as fresh rent hikes planned

Students are being milked like cash cows, while the vice-chancellors who facilitate this profiteering enjoy huge salaries and perks. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel Two years ago there was a widespread spate of rent strikes at university hostels as outraged students found themselves forced to pay full rents and fees during Covid lockdowns. It will be interesting to see whether the actions are restarted in the light of plans to increase accommodation fees at many universities by an inflation-busting 19 percent as the privateers look for ever more ways to screw profits out of the student body. According to recent media reports, a large number of British universities – including many from the prestigious Russell group – are planning&nbs...

What happened to Ukraine’s spring offensive?

Despite sending ever more powerful weapons to Ukraine, the only thing the imperialists have achieved is the death of more Ukrainians. Lalkar writers Subscribe to our  channel It has been estimated that 120,000 Ukrainian men were thrown into the struggle for Bakhmut. What was intended by Kiev as a trap to stop the progress of the Russian resistance turned into a killing ground for their own troops. With Kiev smarting from the loss of Artemovsk (aka Bakhmut) to Russian forces, the long anticipated counteroffensive by Ukraine began on 5 June. In the first few days Ukrainian forces launched attacks all along the front line and there are reports of towns being taken, lost and taken again, but to date there have been no significant inroads into Russia’s...

Mick Lynch, Sharon Graham and the capitulating left

As the next election approaches, supposedly ‘radical’ trade unionists are lining up obediently behind Starmer and Labour, against the interests of their members. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel For as long as trade unions remain subservient to the imperialist Labour party, they will continue to bang their heads against the same brick wall. In the battle of class against class, it is impossible to make progress for the workers without damaging the interests (reducing the profits) of the capitalists, but Labour has consistently made it clear that the latter are its top priority. The following article is reproduced from the Class Conciousness Project with thanks. ***** Another week and another exasperating capitulation by the so-called lead...
