Last Wednesday the Tehran regime marked Halloween with some more union bashing. Ebrahim Madadi’s, vice-president of the Trade Union in the Tehran Vahed Bus Company, was sentenced to two years in jail. Mr. Madadi was tried on the allegation of acting against “national security”.

This document to Respect members marks the definite division of Respect and the end of Respect as it has been heretofore. Almost all the non-Socialist Workers Party members of the Respect National Council have called this Conference. It coincides with the scheduled Respect Conference which the signatories have claimed has been packed by the SWP and would be pointless to attend.

Readers interested in balanced and detailed information on the crisis in Respect (the broad leftwing Unity Coalition in England and Wales) since August are referred to the 'Socialist Unity' blog.

Though it looks like much can be salvaged from the old Respect, it is a shame that yet another attempt at the development of a new left appears to have fallen foul of left sectarianism. ... read full story / add a comment

And that goes for you too, so, Irish friends: have a referendum! Because: "The European Commission is to put forward, tomorrow Tuesday 6 November, a proposal to collect personal data (PNR) on everyone flying in and out of the EU." Without informing 99% of the 490 million people in the 27 EU countries, a NO FLY control list is slyly shoved down their throat by the EU profiteers. ... read full story / add a comment
