LIVERPOOL RAMMING EXPOSES FAR RIGHT’S HYPOCRISY
Prominent UK far-right hate-monger Paul Golding recently took issue with the police’s decision to reveal the racial identity of the suspect of a car-ramming incident that left 109 injured during celebrations following Liverpool FC clinching their 20th league noscript. He wondered why the identity was revealed faster than that of the suspect involved in a July 2024 stabbing incident, in which 3 girls died.
The riots that followed that stabbing saw a mosque attacked, hotels housing migrants torched and Southport residents living in fear for their lives.
Goulding’s real concern is not with protecting the identities of suspects - or for the victims in Liverpool and Southport. His real aim is to whip up hatred against migrants. And his differing responses to the two tragedies make this clear.

Violent scenes as far-right protesters ‘hijack’ vigil for 3 girls killed in Southport knife attack
Far-right protesters violently clashed with British police on Tuesday near a mosque in the northwest English town of Southport, a day after three young girls were stabbed to death there in one of the worst assaults against children in the country in decades.

Revolutionary man of action Che Guevara was born on this day (14 June) in 1928 - in Rosario, Argentina.
According to late Algerian President Ahmed Ben Bella (1916-2012), the Argentine saw Africa as the weak link of imperialism. Che not only cared about bringing change to his own country or his second home, Cuba, but wanted the entire Global South to be freed from colonialism. And that saw him take up the fight in the Congo, the beating heart of Africa.

He went to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in 1964 to support the Simba rebellion. Che's involvement was at the request of Congolese rebels seeking assistance against the Western-backed neo-colonial government in Kinshasa. He provided military training and guidance to the rebels. His aim was to help them fight against the forces that had executed Congo's first prime minister, Patrice Lumumba, three years earlier.
After his time in the DRC, he moved to Tanzania, where he worked with the revolutionary government of Julius Nyerere, providing military training to Tanzanian forces to remove the last remnants of colonial and imperial influence in the region. Che invited revolutionary fighters from all over Africa to Tanzania to establish a revolutionary base for the continent's liberation.
He's a leader respected, revered and remembered in the hearts and minds of millions of Africans. Che saw the struggle in Africa as an integral part of the worldwide struggle against imperialism.
To mark his birthday, we’ve assembled some of his most memorable quotes. Which one touches you the most?

HOW TO ARGUE WITH A STOLEN ARTEFACT HOARDER!
If you’re going to try and defend European museums holding on to stolen African artifacts, you’d better wheel out somebody with better arguments than the rambling Frenchman in this video. However, no colonial excuse can withstand the truth. African Stream’s Wambura Mwai goes to town on every colonial talking point he tabled.

PIETER KRIEL: POLITICAL FREEDOM WITHOUT ECONOMIC POWER IS A SCAM
In this clip, author and activist Pieter Kriel describes South Africa’s democracy as a ceasefire rather than a peace, and he is not mistaken.
Despite Black South Africans holding political power since 1994, they have remained systematically locked out of the country’s white-controlled economic engine.
The African National Congress (ANC), the party that led the way to South Africa’s independence from white rule, ascended to power with promises based on the Freedom Charter, which called for land reform and equal rights. However, under pressure from foreign actors, including the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, the ANC government welcomed free trade and privatisation. It also introduced a ‘willing buyer, willing seller’ policy that restricted land reform.
