The plight of the homeless after lockdown

‘Business as usual’ as rough sleepers are thrown back onto the streets. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel After what must have felt like a surreal overnight change in their circumstances from rough sleeping to hotel beds during lockdown, thousands of homeless people are being kicked back onto the streets to fend for themselves once more. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/857724376&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true In early April, we reported on the plight of Britain’s sizeable homeless population – workers who have been cruelly denied the basic human right to housing and forced to sleep rough on the streets, some of them reduced to seeking shelter in r...

Planning reforms won’t fix the housing crisis

Building more homes is not the answer unless they are built for those who need them.

On 6 August 2020, the government published its white paper Planning for the Future, which proposes significant changes to the current planning system. These changes are presented as a solution to the lack of housing provision across the country and the need to construct 300,000 homes a year as pa...

Ban extended, but evictions continue

Behind the toothless legislation is a government, and parliament, inextricably intertwined with the landlord class. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel Loopholes written into the evictions ban enable landlords to continue to target those deepest in debt and most vulnerable. This is par for the course in a system that has neither the intention nor the ability to deliver on any of its mealy-mouthed promises. Workers cannot continue to plead with the ruling class to mend its ways. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1048624276&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true “No-one should lose their home as a result of the coronavirus epidemic,” housing secretary Robert Jenrick ...

London’s great council housing fraud

Politicians talk as if workers are fools, but no-one who has tried to live on a worker’s salary can swallow the London mayor’s lies about an increase in ‘affordable’ homes. Lalkar writers Subscribe to our  channel London’s Labour mayor likes to pretend that his administration is presiding over a council house building programme. He is less talkative about the systematic demolition of existing estates and the steady forcing out of low-income families. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1271920651&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true The Labour mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has made endless headlines with his promises of building large numbers of council homes.

Moscow condemns ‘Nazi celebration’ at White House

The US has bestowed a prestigious award on a female member of Ukraine’s nationalist Azov battalion Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov. ©  Mark Wilson/Getty Images/AFP The decision by the White House to bestow the International Women of Courage Award on a member of an infamous Ukrainian nationalist battalion is “disgraceful,” Moscow’s ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, said on Thursday. He claimed that the move was further proof that Washington is ready to support Nazis in the fight against Russia. Speaking to reporters, Antonov was asked to comment on the award received at the White House by Yulia Paevskaya, who goes by the nickname ‘Taira’. The ambassador said Moscow had noted the honoring of a member of the Azov battalion, a Ukrainian...

Scholz claims Russia holds key to ending Ukraine conflict

Germany chancellor insists Moscow must withdraw troops from the neighboring country as a basis for peace talks ©  CNN Russian President Vladimir Putin holds the key to ending the bloody conflict in Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz declared in an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria on Sunday. He insisted that Moscow must pull its troops out of the neighboring country in order for peace negotiations to take place. However, the Kremlin has already made it clear that this precondition for peace talks was unacceptable.  “It is necessary that Putin understands that he will not succeed with his invasion and imperialistic aggression. And that he has to withdraw troops. This is the basis for talks,” Scholz argued. Ukraine was “ready for peace, but ...

Poor housing kills

The death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak has shone new light on a growing problem: the slum conditions being endured by too many in Britain today. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel ‘When society places hundreds of workers in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet ... knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual.’ – Friedrich Engels Within a fortnight of his second birthday, Awaab Ishak died. Mr and Mrs Ishak had noticed mould in their rented home in 2017, and, after reporting it, had been told to paint over it, ...

Salfit: Nazi Jewish Illegal Colonizers Uproot 80 Olive Saplings

Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers uprooted at least 80 olive saplings in a Palestinian orchard east of Salfit in the central Nazi occupied West Bank. Saleh Yassin, the head of Yasuf Village Council, said the Nazi JEWISH colonizers invaded the orchard before cutting and uprooting the olive saplings. Yassin added that the saplings, planted 1-3 years ago, were in privately-owned Palestinian olive orchards in the Ar-Rajem area, east of the village. The Nazi JEWISH colonizers repeatedly invade and uproot Palestinian lands in Yasuf, surrounding communities, and several parts of the Nazi occupied West Bank. All of Nazi’s colonies in the occupied West Bank, including those in and around Nazi occupied East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva ...

Jerusalem: Army Demolishes Three Palestinian Homes

Nazi soldiers demolished three Palestinian homes in the Wadi Al-Jouz neighborhood in the Nazi occupied capital, Jerusalem, in the West Bank. Media sources said several Nazi army and Nazi police vehicles surrounded the neighborhood before invading it and ordering the families out of their homes, housing twenty Palestinians from the local Totah family. The Nazi soldiers also ordered the families to remove their furniture and belongings from the homes before demolishing them for “being built without a permit from the City Council.” Yahia Totah said in a phone interview with the Palestinian News and Info Agency (WAFA) that two homes were 60 square meters each, and one was 120, and that Israel had already demolished several homes for members of his family since the year 2015.
