Here's an interesting podcast about the trials and tribulations of a working class lad in football. As a fan and a player.

Disclaimer

Karl Colley discusses his past involvement in football-related fights. We do not condone football violence, nor are we naive enough to pretend it doesn't exist. The vast majority of football fans are not violent, despite what Thatcher claimed. While hooliganism was indeed prominent in the 1980s, the Tory government's attacks on football were not just about hooliganism; they were as much an assault on working-class culture as their attacks on trade unionism.

Violence is a part of working-class life, whether it comes from above or beside. It is pervasive. We should direct that energy toward our resistance of the ruling class's violence.

Labour’s Rachel Reeves says she wants to lead the most “pro-business treasury our country has ever seen”, while pledging not to increase corporation tax.

Not too far off good old Labour leader Ramsay Macdonald, who said in 1924 that the aim of the first-ever Labour government was to demonstrate to the ruling class that ”the empire was safe in our hands”.

Is there really anybody left who thinks the Labour party is the party of the working class? (Apart from the state agents leading the Trotskyite SWP and the revisionist cretins leading the CPB, I mean ...)

True to its word, and in blatant defiance of the order issued by the International Court of Justice to cease its assault on Rafah immediately, the zionist entity is now bombarding the tent city that surrounds Rafah, home to one and half million refugees who have been forced out of their homes elsewhere in Gaza.

Graphic and horrific images are circulating on social media of mutilated children, who had been sheltering in tents next to an Unrwa centre in an officially-designated ‘safe zone’. This has been entirely enabled by the west’s unqualified support for the genocidaires.

Make it make sense?

🚨 I recently met a journalist from Gaza. I asked her for a reliable GoFundMe that I can share with you guys. She is a brave soul and set this up to help disabled children in Gaza. It is reliable and legitimate.

Please donate and help them. Thank you 🇵🇸✌️

🚩 119 years ago, on May 28, 1905, the striking workers of Ivanovo-Voznesensk created the Council of Workers' Representatives - the first Council of Workers' Deputies in Russia.

The council appeared during a general strike of workers in Ivanovo-Voznesensk, in which more than 70 thousand people participated. The strikers demanded an 8-hour working day, higher wages, the abolition of fines, the elimination of the factory police, freedom of speech, unions, the press, strikes, the convening of a Constituent Assembly, etc.

The first meeting of the Council was held in the building of the Meshchanskaya Council. Later the meetings were moved to the shore of Talka. The activities of the Council were directed by the Bolsheviks F. Afanasyev and M. Frunze. The council created military squads and an elected court. On June 2, a workers' militia was created, the leader of which was I. N. Utkin. On June 4, she was sent to maintain order in the city and protect factories from strikebreakers. The police were expelled from working-class neighborhoods. Members of the workers' militia were elected at meetings of workers' enterprises. The Council also created a commission for leading strikes, financial and food commissions. To avoid provocations, at the request of the Council, all beer establishments in the city were closed. The council became the body of workers' power in the city: it led the strike, exercised freedom of assembly, speech, and press without permission, established a revolutionary order in the city, and took measures to provide assistance to the strikers and their families.

Characterizing the Soviets as new mass revolutionary organizations of working people, Lenin noted: “...even then the socialists realized that by the organization of these Soviets something great, new and unprecedented in the history of the world revolution was being created. The councils that the people were able to create completely independently are a form of democracy that has no equal in any country.”

“If you get me re-elected, we’re going to set that movement back 25 or 30 years.”

Donald Trump promised to ‘crush’ the pro-Palestine student movement and deport foreign students who participated in anti-genocide protests if re-elected in November, in an address given to a room full of donors.

The choice in the USA: genocide with Joe Biden, or genocide extreme with Donald Trump. No matter who loses the election, the military-industrial complex always wins and the bombs keep falling on some of the poorest people on Earth.
