Preparing Britain for world war

Posted by: John Phoenix Lots of offensive talk about defence Lalkar articles have always been presented with the clear intention of providing readers with an alternative, correct analysis to the detritus consumed through mainstream media. If we were to use a food analogy, our articles would be an organic, nutritious, well-balanced meal compared with a McDonald’s takeaway. The former feeds the mind and invigorates the spirit; the latter produces lethargy and depression. None of that has changed. What has shifted, dear reader, is you. In the past you may have read our analysis with some hesitancy, suspicion or even incredulity. However, recent events have hardened your already deepening distrust of the murky figures who run our society and manage the state and have opened y...

Á la carte capitalism

Posted by: John Phoenix France’s latest budget drama exposes once again the fantasy at the heart of modern bourgeois rule: the idea that capitalism can be managed à la carte, with its benefits retained and its consequences selectively discarded. Western imperial duplicity and contradiction was perfectly exemplified recently when Donald Trump lauded the pirating of a Venezuelan oil tanker by US forces but paradoxically decried Iranian forces when Iran seized oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz back in 2020. Trump publicly criticised Tehran’s behaviour as destabilising and harmful to global shipping, framing it as evidence of Iran being “nothing but trouble.” Similarly, when France’s Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, declared on December 9 that “making compromise...

A Wave of Defections

Posted by: John Phoenix Photo by Chris Lawton On Thursday 26 February 2026, the Gorton and Denton by-election could introduce to UK politics a register of despair not heard in Manchester since Joy Division first turned urban dislocation into sound. “This is the crisis I knew had to come,” sang the late great Ian Curtis, and the line fits too well to ignore. As national coverage now routinely notes, the contest has already escaped from its local cage and become a kind of national proxy war. To be fair to those reports, this is a weakened version of Starmer’s Labour, pitted against Reform and the Greens, sharpened by Labour’s decision to block Andy Burnham, and Reform’s decision to nominate immigration-obsessed Matt Goodwin. Goodwin is himself freshly endorsed by far-ri...

Who will slay the Elbit Beast? ‘Pride of Israel’

Posted by: John Phoenix The campaign to criminalise action against the zionist war machine reveals how seriously British imperialism has been threatened. Prisoners For Palestine Official documents reveal a continuous process of collaboration between Israeli officials, Elbit Systems management and the British government, all aimed at finding a way for the state to put an end to the effective campaign of direct action being waged against Elbit’s arms manufacturing in the UK. The following text is taken from a video produced by Prisoners For Palestine.This group represents those in the UK who have been illegally detained by the British state for their actions against genocide (at least 33 people at present, and this number may increase as the state implements ever more draco...

Labour party ‘patriotism’ is racist and imperialist to the core

Posted by: John Phoenix While claiming to stand ‘against racism’, Wes Streeting is engaged in a viciously racist campaign against a doctor who opposes genocide. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel The ‘Butcher’s Apron’ is the flag of a bloodthirsty and malevolent class of exploiters that continues to preside over the most horrific colonial as well as local crimes. Those who are appalled by the genocide in Gaza today are starting to realise that this is one in a long string of British imperialist atrocities, and that zionism itself is but a reflection of the extreme supremacism of the British ruling class.

How the market created Britain’s lamentable food and farming situation

Posted by: John Phoenix Britain has some of the best agricultural land in the world, so why is it that more than one third of the food consumed here is imported? Lalkar writers Subscribe to our  channel By breaking the link between finance capital and our farms, we can address environmental challenges with scientific planning in a way that protects and supports both food security and nutritional needs. The headline figure from a 2024 food security report issued by Defra (the Department for the Environment, Food, Rural and Agricultural affairs), is that only 62 percent of the food consumed in Britain is actually grown here. This is the lowest it has been for some time, having fallen from 80 percent in 1945. To understand what is driving this, and cruci...

Stand with those being criminalised for opposing genocidal British imperialism

Posted by: John Phoenix The example of repression and state criminality in Britain must be used to show the necessity of opposing and dismantling the entire imperialist system. Party statement It is a fact not yet understood by the mass of British workers, even those who are involved in Palestine solidarity, that our own government is not merely somewhat complicit in zionist crimes, but is actively and militarily involved in perpetrating genocidal wars against the people of Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen and Syria. The role of those who are attempting to bring this truth to the wider population is therefore extremely significant. The following resolution was presented by our party to the international conference of the World Anti-imperialist Platform held in Caracas on 22...
