England - Spain, December 1931 at Highbury.

I was among a tiny group of people in Britain who tried to set up a Congo solidarity campaign more than 20 years ago.

The so-called 'antiwar movement', trade unions and the rest of the left was patently uninterested. The Congolese comrade on whom we relied for information was locked up in Belmarsh and then deported.

Nobody wanted to know about the 'Playstation wars' devastating Congo to fuel the gaming boom with necessary minerals, in particular Coltan. War to control the looting of Congo's resources continues to this day. 15 million are dead. 7 million more have been displaced. 5 million women and girls have been raped.

If you've ever wondered why Rwanda is Britain's favoured African nation, look at the map. Rwanda is the base for every imperial and corporate army engaged in despoiling Congo.

This is the price of 'progress' under capitalist-imperialism. The Congolese must remain poor and receive endless punishment beatings because Congo is rich.

Walking along the canalside yesterday close to where I live, I noticed a sign advertising new luxury retirement flats, to be built on a disused car park, on land that used to have leadworks on It. It set me thinking, is this the type of housing we NEED in this area? Will it help with the housing crisis? Absolutely not!
Have a look around your local area, ask yourself, what housing has been built around the locality in the last few years, how much did it cost to buy or rent? Then reflect on what housing your community needs? Then compare the two, see how little they correlate! This illustrates the reason for the housing affordability crisis, what is built is driven by profits in command, what is desperately needed will only be built when we have a planned socialist economy!

⏳📚THIS DAY IN HISTORY🚨🫡

Angelo Herndon, a communist labor leader, was convicted of insurrection for organizing black and white workers in Atlanta during the Great Depression.

After a June 30, 1932, protest of nearly 1,000 unemployed workers, authorities arrested Herndon on July 11 and found Communist Party literature in his hotel room.

Charged under a Georgia Reconstruction-era insurrection law, Herndon addressed the court on January 16, 1933, at 19 years old, stating:

"Your role is to defend the system under which the toiling masses are robbed and oppressed...You may succeed in killing one, two, even a score of working-class organizers. But you cannot kill the working class."

Here is the "partnership" non-treaty that the t-shirt clad fraud Starmer signed with the Kiev cocaine clown last week. It is one of the most cynical acts that the British ruling class have engaged in and I'll explain why at 22:30 tonight.

There is no correlation between homelessness and immigration—none whatsoever. If every individual who had immigrated to this country were removed, there would still be people sleeping rough. At present, there are plenty empty homes across Britain. Homelessness is not a matter of housing shortages; it is a question of systemic priorities.

The root causes of homelessness often lie in mental health struggles or addiction. Many of those who find themselves on the streets are deemed "useless" to the state because they no longer contribute to the economy by selling their labour or consuming products. This, in turn, strips them of perceived value, leaving them as little more than a cautionary example to the working class.

Immigration, on the other hand, serves a purpose and is actively encouraged. With declining birth rates in Western countries, immigration is vital for expanding the labour pool. Migrant workers are often easier to exploit, making them particularly valuable to the ruling class.

These two issues, homelessness and immigration, are not connected. They stem from the same underlying cause: the greed and exploitation perpetuated by the ruling class.

At Trump's inauguration Silicon Valley’s elite (Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Sundar Pichai, Tim Cook, Sam Altman...) were given priority seating over members of Trump's cabinet.

Their companies are part of a cartel run by US military/intelligence and shape American security and economic policy. @LauraRuHK

After weeks of insinuating all British Muslims are rapists, speaking out in support of Tommy Robinson and offering support to more reactionary political groups. This salute by the South African CEO of SpaceX, and new Trump government administrator, was a bit iffy to say the least.

Joe Biden may not have done a Nazi salute, but he did give real Nazi's money and weapons in Ukraine.
