However, the racism of UKIP and the Green Party aside, (I have written elsewhere about this), we were able to short-circuit the far-right love-in that the Herald Express has in the area, by turning-up with our Red Flag and representing the truly leftwing politics that has given rise to, and sustained the anti-austerity movement across the length and breadth of the UK. It is the far-right supporting people of Torbay that are out of step with the rest of the country (and with history). The insularity of the place has produced centuries of apathy in the minds of the majority of primarily good local people, as they are continuously abused and oppressed by the local government and its media. The Red Flag of Socialism was flown proudly throughout the 8.29 miles of the march from Brixham to Torquay.

International Brigade Commemoration – London – 4.7.15
Despite the sacrifice of thousands of these selfless people – the war was eventually lost – but it set the stage for WWII and the ultimate crushing of Nazism. Prominent speakers at the commemoration talked today of the upsurge in far-right activity in Eastern Europe – referring to the UK and USA-backed neo-Nazi regime in Eastern Ukraine and elsewhere. In these tainted countries – memorials to the International Brigades are being destroyed, and monuments to Nazi war criminals raised in their place. This is the ‘new’ fascism that all like minded people must come together and oppose.
Society for Co-operation in Russian and Soviet Studies – Soviet Art Exhibition – 4.7.15
The SCRSS was founded in 1924 in the UK as a display of international friendship (and support) for the newly formed Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
Support Greece Against EU Tyranny – London Rally – 6pm 29.6.15
Greece can lead the way for other European nations to follow. Europe can reject US Imperialism and its EU lackeys! Greece should pull-out of the EU – and the UK should follow this example. The EU is the enemy of the working class and the enemy of Socialism! Once a nationalised industry is privatised – under EU law it can never be ‘re-nationalised’. This is an EU charter for the destruction of any working class movement toward Socialism and the dislodging of the middle class from its position of abusive power.
My Letter to SF Leather on Behalf of Turkish Workers
I consider these dismissals to be illegal under National and International Law, and immoral under any measure of common decency, and call upon the Management of SF Leather to immediately:
1) Reinstate the dismissed workers
2) Respect workers’ rights and freedom of association
Croydon May Day March 3.5.15
The CPB called upon voters to support the local Labour Party candidate in an effort to keep the Tories out of power. Some fellow Comrades did not agree with this policy – as the Labour Party nolonger pursues leftwing policies that represent the workers, but rather policies that pander to middle class sentiment and aspiration.
