On this day, 11 June 1919, racist rioting broke out in Cardiff, Wales, when white, mostly ex-servicemen attacked local residents of Afro-Caribbean, Somali, Malay, and Yemeni descent.Experiencing considerable hardship after the end of World War I, many ex-servicemen were in dire financial straits, and had been encouraged by racist media, as well as some unions, to see workers of colour as having taken some of "their" jobs and housing. Tensions erupted on June 11 after a confrontation between a group of Black and white men in the Butetown area of area of the city escalated. Mobs of whites then attacked houses where Black and Arab workers lived, smashing windows, wrecking interiors and throwing furniture into the street. People of colour then began to defend themselves, boarding themselves inside their homes and arming themselves with stones and rocks.One man, a ship's fireman called Mohammed Abdullah was attacked and soon died in hospital with a fractured skull. By the time the disturbances ended three days later, three other men were dead, although it is unclear if one of those deaths was related to the riots as such.The riots in Cardiff were just one of several such incidents around Britain in 1919. Other racist mob attacks on African, Chinese, South Asian, Afro-Caribbean and Arab workers – usually seamen – also broke out in cities like London, Glasgow, Newport, Liverpool, Salford, South Shields, Barry and Hull. Shamefully, in some cases the violence was egged on by union leaders like Manny Shinwell, later a Labour MP, who demanded "action" against Black sailors on the morning of an attack on sailors from Sierra Leone in Glasgow earlier that year.

Nationalisation within a capitalist framework does not automatically result in better pay and working conditions for workers. The British parliamentary system was originally designed to grant capitalists influence over governance, effectively replacing monarchs with politicians. This fundamental dynamic remains unchanged. Consequently, handing control of industries to the capitalist state is unlikely to yield greater benefits than leaving them to the free market.

For workers to truly benefit from nationalisation, they must control the means of production, and the parasitic ruling class must be permanently eliminated.

British Imperialist government and Zionist Lobby: 0! ; Palestine Solidarity movement, British working class, and the Communist Party of Great Britain Marxist Leninist: 2!

Good news: All charges against our 4 comrades - under section 12 of the Terrorism Act “supporting a proscribed organisation” have been dropped!

Calling for victory to the Palestinian people is not a crime!

The lesson: stand firm! Stand up for truth and justice! Fight for the Palestinian people! Stand against the Genocide!

I've screamed this for years. The "regeneration" of Lime Street has been yet another failure for the city and a destruction of Liverpool's unique character.

The Liverpool City Council should (LCC) is one of the most corrupt councils in Britain and has used the building work in Liverpool as a way to earn money on the sale of contracts.
That's why we end up with plastic looking shite like this.
