In solidarity with  Liverpool Uncut’s action  against workfare on Saturday 3rd March, Boycott Workfare has called a national day of action against workfare. We’re planning a Boycott Workfare action in Central London on this day and encourage people all over the UK to take action on their high streets.  Workfare means those in paid positions may see their jobs replaced by this unpaid labour. Why would a company pay for people to do these jobs when they can get free labour from the Job Centre... Read Full Story

Carole Cadwalladr has a brilliant interview with Melvyn Bragg in Sunday's Observer, in which Bragg claims culture has replaced class in the UK. Apparently the old brown-noser has a new three part series on this very subject which is due to be screened on BBC Two. That in our Cameronite, class prejudiced society, Bragg has been entrusted to make such a programe about class, tells us a great deal about 'Lord' Bragg of Wigton and how he is viewed by the public school toffs who dominate...

  Mícheál Mac Donncha  in his monthly  AN PHOBLACHT  column  'Remembering the past,'  reminds us of just how low the British establishment and its tame media can sink. When he looks back at press coverage in the immediate aftermath of Bloody Sunday, when 13 innocent Irishmen were gunned down on the streets of Derry by the 3rd battalion of the Parachute Regiment. In many ways, the British government dealt with the aftermath of this atrocity in much the same way as they have dealt with similar... Read Full Story

John McCain backed the good guys in Libya, who are now keenly torturing their opponents to death.

The headlines all say that the Bank of England has pumped another £50 billion into the economy in the third round of quantitive easing. In fact, the money will not get far into the economy. It is given to the banks and other financial sector companies, and evidence from the previous £250 billion worth of quantitive easing is that almost all of it will stay there, being very handy stuff with which to fund massive salaries and bonuses.
