Sharon Graham was hailed as a new standard-bearer for the left, but all she’s done is confirm what many of us already knew: to rise to the top of a major capitalist trade union, you need to be a careerist bureaucrat with a flexible relationship to principle and none at all with the working-class union membership.

The New Royal Hospital. Another one of these plastic grey looking buildings that Liverpool City Council seems to enjoy.
This "futuristic" 3D cladding is completely at odds with the aesthetics of the city.
The foyer feels more like a cinema, or airport waiting area, then a British hospital.

Debuting tonight on the channel its the first attempt at documentary making that I've engaged in. This film tells the story of the recent demolition of 600 flats in three tower blocks on the Wyndford Estate in Glasgow. The film situates this scandal within the wider framework of the housing crisis and the crisis of British imperialism.

The BBC sanitises the genocide. Therefore the BBC is complicit in the genocide. That’s why it’s essential to target the BBC and other monopoly capitalist media for their ‘journalism’ and ‘coverage’ - which is actually pro-genocide propaganda.
And that’s why the Metropolitan police, under pressure from the Labour government, wants to make it illegal to demonstrate – by claiming that the jewish community are not able to worship: “There is a [central] synagogue too near to the demonstrators” for them to express an anti-genocide opinion ...
What is not clearly explained is: why should jews, or any other group, feel ‘threatened’ by masses of British workers (many of them jews) speaking out against genocide?
The truth is that British capitalism feels threatened. The mobilised power of the British workers on our streets demonstrating against their political and financial power is the threat.
The capitalists fear the organised working class as the devil fears holy water. For their wealth and power depends upon us meekly accepting their tyrannical and dystopian global system of exploitation. Genocides and all.

Yesterday's rally against the Trump administration in Washington, D.C., a vast and confused hodgepodge of liberal groups, snuck in one notable "progressive" demand: that Trump take his hands off NATO.
Since its founding, NATO has served as a belligerent enforcer of Western hegemony, one which fuels militarization, enforces neocolonial domination, and provokes global conflicts—from Yugoslavia to Ukraine—while serving arms dealers and empire.
Its post-Cold War expansion encircled Russia, violating past promises, and its illegal wars under "humanitarian" pretenses have devastated nations like Libya and Afghanistan.
Even if he wanted to, the figurehead Donald Trump would never be allowed to put his hands on NATO.
