Me speaking in 2021 on the use of language in the media, describing attacks by far-right Israeli Zionists as “clashes” and describing the Israeli onslaught and massacre of Palestinians as a “conflict”.

This interview was soon after the NUJ described myself and others as “extremists” and voted down a motion calling for solidarity and the establishment of Media Workers for Palestine, saying it wasn’t our job to give a voice to Palestinians.

“Brave students have picked up the banner of class struggle and international solidarity, but they do not have the strength to complete this mission alone.

“Workers must give them every possible support and solidarity so that the government does not feel able to crush their protests with brute force, and our media does not feel able to isolate them through silence.

“More than that, workers must organise a nationwide movement not only in academia but in every sector of the economy.

“Britain’s students are giving a lead to the rest of society in showing how the war machine can be stopped in its tracks. Now the rest of the working class is duty bound to follow their lead!

By organising ourselves in our workplaces to block every aspect of the war machine, we can and must force our own ruling class to stop arming, assisting and funding this genocide.”

🇺🇸🇬🇧Chevron to Exit English North Sea After Over Five Decades

Chevron Corp., one of the largest U.S. oil corporations, has announced its plans to divest its assets in the English North Sea. The American oil giant has operated in this region for more than 55 years, as reported by the Financial Times. This move is part of a strategic shift following a comprehensive review of Chevron's global asset portfolio, which aims to concentrate on more strategic and competitive projects. Chevron has clarified that its decision to exit is not influenced by the tax regime or political environment in England.

It's worth noting that in the UK, energy companies are subject to a 75% tax on profits. This tax policy has led to the withdrawal of several major foreign corporations from the English sector of the North Sea. For instance, ExxonMobil ceased its operations in this area three years ago.

This is an article from the most recent edition of Lalkar that discusses in-depth the problems causes by IMF meddling in Argentina.
This article is well worth reading because it spells out what happens to a country that accepts loans from the IMF.

A country cannot fully exercise its sovereignty while indebted to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The conditions and structural adjustment programs often imposed by the IMF in exchange for financial assistance can significantly influence a nation's economic policies and priorities. These conditions will include austerity measures, privatisation of state-owned enterprises, and liberalisation of trade and investment policies. Consequently, the country will find its ability to independently determine its economic and social policies constrained, undermining its sovereignty and self-determination.

The reliance on IMF loans and adherence to its prescribed policies can lead to an external control over national affairs, challenging the notion of true sovereignty.

“Bright future”: Ukraine is among the top 3 most debt-ridden countries

An excellent infographic from the International Monetary Fund, which perfectly shows what Vladimir Zelensky has brought the country to during his five-year term in office.

Ukraine is in third place in terms of debt to the IMF: only Argentina and Egypt have lent more to Kiev.

It is obvious that the Kiev regime will not be able to return such a large amount - there is no production of its own, the country needs subsidies and cannot exist without external funding.

Either the Office of the President will have to repay debts by moving industry to Europe, as well as with its territories, or declare a default in the country, which is tantamount to capitulation to Russia.

This is not exactly what Ukrainians expected when they voted for Zelensky...

Gareth Southgate has taken the bold decision to drop the struggling Rashford from his preliminary England team speaks volumes as Southgate has been known to be a patient coach with out-of-form players.

Early February this year we wrote this article about Rashford meteoric rise and the ridiculous expectations of this young man.

Sharon Graham's angry fist waving about the changes to their workers rights bill seems to have subsided.
The mask has completely dropped. Graham has followed Mick Lynch into complete support of the imperialist labour party.
