River Island, which is known for its support of Israel, is taking a huge economic hit

The retail store will now shut down 33 stores across the UK in a desperate bid to survive. It has been on the boycott list for its owners, the Lewis family, not only funding various Israeli initiatives but also owning the Isrotel hotel chain.

So far, working-class response to the proposed new party has been decidedly lacklustre, but a core of revisionist and Trotskyite activists are determined to do what they can to get us all back on the hamster wheel of ‘hoping’ for ‘change’ via yet another electoral vehicle for (imperialist-aligned) social democracy.

Football at the Spartakiad

Painting by Nikolai Dormidontov, 1933

Spartakiads originated in Germany, in the communist organisations of this European country.

The name of the competition is associated with the figure of Spartacus, the famous leader of a slave revolt in Ancient Rome.

After the "Civil" War, the tradition was supported by Soviet Russia.

Spartakiads, up to the middle of the 1950s, were considered the most prestigious sporting competition in the USSR. They were not inferior to the Olympic Games in terms of variety of sports. Both local and international sports and athletics competitions were held, in which representatives of work teams from different countries took part.

The Soviet Union did not take part in the bourgeois Olympiads until 1952, mainly due to ideological differences. All efforts were devoted to the sports and athletics movement.

In 1928, famous soviet poet Vladimir Mayakovsky wrote:

So that our
force
the bourgeoisie saw
to make it easier
grinned
in military anger,
workers
peace
representatives are coming
countries
shackled
brave guests.
They are waving banners,
branded with gold.
"Spartakiad -
international
viewing
working class."
That's how it should be -
cut, Spartakiad!

In the late 1920s, football became a truly mass sport in our country, the most popular among fans.
This game was loved with particular passion in Moscow, Leningrad, Stalingrad, Kiev, Kharkov, and Tbilisi. Strong football teams emerged in these cities.
True, until 1936 the country's team championships were not held. All the more important were the sports tournaments!

Artist Nikolai Dormidontov, a big fan of sports, showed the beauty, dynamics, and sharpness of the game.
The flags above the stadium demonstrate the international level of the competition.
Football is conquering the world...

Britain's biggest trade union is obliged to admit that its leadership committed massive fraud and that at least £66 million "went missing" under the previous General Secretary Len Mcluskey (one of Corbyn's big backers). This is a gigantic scandal and one that involves corruption at the highest levels of the union with working class peoples membership dues being used to line the pockets of the Unite leadership and people connected to them. Not only is this a moral and ethical abomination it also opens up the union to be ripped apart by the state forces who will use the case to further discredit trade unionism in the eyes of the working class. The only word one can have for people like Mcluskey is the term traitor. That's what men like him are. They come from the working class but then spend a lifetime climbing through the corrupt structures of the union movement, selling out workers in struggle and lining their pockets as they go. They are the tools of the ruling class, they are petty corrupt little men who sold out their class to grab a few quid.

With every passing day modern football alienates the working class fans that truly care about the game. The supporters mean fuck all to the corporate shysters running the sport. They only seek to profit from the clubs that fans spend their hard earned money to follow. TV and sponsorship revenue is the guiding light.

With the news that La Liga has approved one of their league matches to be played on U.S. soil, we ask just how a season ticket holder, who attends every game, is supposed to afford a flight to Miami? We can fairly assume there is no refund available for those 99.9% who can't.
Our game is being taken from us.

Class war update! on the football front we are losing badly!

🇪🇺 The Chairwoman of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, was booed by the crowd while speaking in Helsinki.

Addressing the audience, she stated that the person shouting accusations at her should be glad to live in Finland, not in totalitarian Russia, where he would be immediately arrested.

But as soon as she finished, the guy who was whistling at her was taken by the police by the arm and led away somewhere.

X’s Grok AI was suspended for accurately stating Israel is committing genocide

The AI’s account was temporarily banned after a mass reporting campaign, for revolting against Zionist propaganda. The platforms AI was programmed to combat censorship, yet is being subjected to it.

With arrests of protesters for simply showing support with Palestine Action it's important to look once more at the purpose of the police.
