Sutton: Visiting the Carshalton Water Tower! (24.9.2023)

As immense wealth was generated through the labour of the exploited masses (which involved the development of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade) a privileged middle-class developed – particularly after the English Civil Wars of the 1640s. This development saw the successful transference of the control of the ‘means of production’ (and political power) from the Aristocracy (the upper-class) to the Bourgeoisie (the middle-class) and with it the unleashing of tremendous creative force (a process magnified enormously by the ‘discovery’ of the Americas and the effective stealing of immense tracts of ‘free’ land and other resources)! Of course, the spread of British power and influence throughout other countries of the world – including Africa and Asia – opened all kinds of diverse markets which spread commodities to the four corners of the earth!

UK: British Museum Faces Renewed Calls to Return Cultural Relics! (7.9.2023)

“They are the subject of loot. They were illegally taken out of the country,” Tijani said. He demanded the British Museum give back the Benin Bronzes, which British forces took in 1897.

“It is irrespective whether they are safe there. That is not an issue. The issue is that these are stolen artefacts, and they should be returned to Nigeria to the communities that they belong to,” he added.

Bell Ribeiro-Addy, chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Afrikan Reparations, threw light on the “insulting ridiculousness” of the British Museum’s refusal to return artefacts to their country of origin on security grounds.

“One of the most insulting reasons that they’ve given is that the other countries that these items belong to would either not be able to take care of them or they are likely to be stolen,” she said. “But you’ve got people in this country putting them on eBay.”

Gee Covid Emergency 2000

NHS: How Gee Protects Our Family and the Nation! (1.6.2000)

For her education, the British government has levied a total debt of £60,000 – which does not include the £40,000 of extra debt accrued living modestly in South London and bringing-up two children. We are determined that our children will have the best start to life, which is centred around a sound, scientific education. This, at least is working, despite the crippling debt. There is no point asking anyone for help, as everyone we know is in a similar or worse position. It is my mother who wisely feeds us small but significant (continuous) sums of money that fill the leaks and prevent us from sinking! As Communists we refuse to behave like uncivilised animals, and ‘share’ whatever we can with whomever needs it. Obviously, we do not have much to spare, but it is important to us that what we have is given to people who need it most. In reality, the UK needs a genuinely ‘Socialist’ government that will implement a radical re-distribution of wealth, and wipe-out all or most debt built-up over the years of Tory, LibDems and New Labour misrule.
