Our schools need more than money

It is not only cuts that are devastating and gutting our schools but privatisation and outsourcing. School Cuts campaign Subscribe to our channel Headteachers demonstration in September 2018 demanding extra money for schools. The email below was sent to supporters of the School Cuts campaign. ***** School cuts: ‘Schools need more than empty promises’ Our hard work is paying off. The new prime minister, Boris Johnson, claims he wants to address the school funding crisis. But so far his promises are vague. Schools have had enough uncertainty. What we need now is a clear commitment. £12.6bn more per year is exactly how much our schools and colleges need to reverse the cuts and maintain per pupil funding levels as costs rise. We’ve done th...

Sabotage of state schools

Growing privatisation and austerity is eroding the hard-won right to an education for our children. Ella Rule Subscribe to our channel The increasing use by privatised schools (academies) of exclusion (for behaviour management) and off-rolling (to manipulate results) are removing the right to an education from tens of thousands of Britain's most disadvantaged children. More and more evidence keeps coming in regarding the way educational opportunity for working-class children is being whittled away. Plagued by the need to stay well up in the league tables in order to attract pupils, and therefore funding, and therefore to survive, state schools have naturally enough engaged in all kinds of underhand methods to boost their statistics of ‘success’. Ubiq...

Glory to the heroes of Stalingrad!

February 2 this year marked the 80th anniversary of the battle of Stalingrad. It was a battle of titanic proportions. Before we deal with this battle, which changed the course of the Second World War, some background information as to events leading up to this battle is in order. The Soviet leadership well understood early on that the conditions for war were ripening; that the Versailles Treaty that ended the First World War was the basis of nothing more than a truce between wars; that the war to come would be one of horrendous proportions. The Soviet Union did not want war, but it was not up to her to stand aside. In the words of Stalin, “…if war begins, we shall hardly be able to sit with folded arms. We shall have to come out, but we ought to be...

Ukraine: Defeats in the front line spark chaos in the Kiev junta

With Soledar fallen, Bakhmut surrounded and the liberation of the Donbass proceeding apace, the imperialist disaster on the military front is now translating into an extraordinary descent into faction-fighting on the political front. Attempts by the CIA chief William Burns to bang heads together in Kiev and concentrate minds on implementing the imperialist agenda are only serving to expose the real nature of the proxy war against Russia, a war which NATO cannot win. And the more vigorously the puppet-master tugs on the strings, the more visible those strings become. Even by Ukrainian standards the speed, scale and depth of the domestic purge under way at the highest levels of the Kiev power structure are breathtaking. The Guardian on 24 January 2023 reported that “Fif...

NordStream sabotage – Seymour Hersh’s revelations

On 8 February 2023, Seymour Hersh, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, published the results of his latest investigation, exposing the lies of the US administration concerning the sabotage of Russia’s NordStream pipelines. Everybody knew that it was US imperialism that had perpetrated the sabotage, notwithstanding the denials emanating from the White House. After all US President Joe Biden had stated publicly that were Russia to ‘invade’ Ukraine, then the pipelines would be put out of action. Biden at the time would certainly have been aware that the Kiev fascist junta, armed to the teeth by the Western powers, was preparing a major assault on Donetsk and Lugansk, hence all the talk at the time regarding Russia preparing to attack Ukraine because she supposedly wanted to i...

The French proletariat fights for its pension and retirement rights

France, like every other European nation is reeling under the combined weight of (1) self-inflicted financial meltdown as the Euro economies are throwing themselves and their workers to the wolves in a futile effort to save US hegemony, and (2) the ever-present cyclical crises of overproduction within the capitalist system which always lead to financial stagnation, destitution for many poorer people and wars of terrible ferocity, spoliation and brigandage on a massive scale. President Macron has fought battles with the French working class before, notably taking on transport workers, students and others in 2018 when he brought forward his road fuel tax that brought out onto the streets all over France thousands of Yellow Vests (gilets jaunes) – who kept up their highly militant...

The murder of Tyre Nichols

On the evening of January 7, in a poor, mainly black, area of Memphis, a 29 year old black man driving home in his car was stopped by police and beaten to death. Tyre Nichols had committed no traffic violation that can be found on any traffic cameras, police car cams or the officers’ body cams. The only ‘evidence’ to link him to any crime at all comes solely from the mouths of the officers who murdered him and that is contradicted by all the available camera evidence. Another black man killed by police in the USA doesn’t qualify as surprising news. In fact, it is just another name on an incredibly long list, but this one is a little different. All five of the police officers who committed this murder are also black, part of a special unit, mainly made up of black of...

Nazi persecution of Palestinians taken to a new level

Israeli persecution of Palestinianstaken to a new level Since the start of 2023 until 30 January we saw 35 Palestinian people murdered by either the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) or the even more blood-thirsty (if that is possible) Zionist settler movement, a fact which is marked mostly by its near total absence from the TV and newspaper reports emitting from within the multi-headed imperialist Western media leviathan. While many of these were young people, six were under 18 and can only be described as children. Because they are hidden by our media we have decided to name the slaughtered Palestinian people who died in January 2023 and give some brief details of age, place and method of their murder by the Zionist occupation forces both official and unofficial: Moham...

A tribute to Jenny Marx – to mark International Women’s Day

On International Women’s Day, we once more use the occasion to bring to the attention of our readers a reminder of the lives of women who have made outstanding contributions to the class struggle of the proletariat and/or the oppressed. In this context we bring to the fore the life of a woman whose immense value has gone almost unrecognised because she was outshone by her husband. That woman was Jenny Marx, née Von Westphalen. Early years Both she and Marx grew up among the liberal intelligentsia of Trier, a small but vibrant town in Prussia. Her father was a government official and his was a successful lawyer. They were much of the same age, both members of the local elite club, both highly steeped in high French culture, interested in literature, philosophy and is...

Ukraine – From coup d’état to war

By Mario Sousa The lack of information about the events in Ukraine is great and makes many people wonder what is really happening and why. With these thoughts I wrote the following article. On December 1, 1991, Ukraine declared itself an independent country even though the Soviet Union only ceased to exist just over 3 weeks later, on December 25, 1991. In Ukraine as in the rest of the Soviet republics, the political right took over the power in government and society. Ukraine was then a developed industrial country with modern industries (food, machinery, metals, electricity, chemicals, construction, water), mines (iron, coal, manganese, titanium, mercury, sulphur, lime, potassium carbonate), agriculture (meat, milk, wheat, buckwheat, rye, potatoes, sugar beet, corn, v...
