Make your voice heard against war and repression, urges Hands Off the People of Iran chair, Yassamine Mather The war drums against Iran are beating ever louder. The new embargo on Iranian oil, to come into force on July 1, is only the latest in a long list of measures imposed by US and EU imperialism. It bans all new oil contracts with Iran, and cuts off all existing deals. Also, all of the Iranian central bank’s European assets are to be frozen. We are told that the sanctions are designed to weaken the regime and “force Iran back to the negotiating table” over its nuclear programme. This is clearly nonsense: In reality, the ‘nuclear danger’ is used by imperialism as an excuse to deal with an increasingly unstable situation in the Middle East. Imperialism has recently lost a number of friendly regimes in the region (like Egypt) and needs to reassert control in this oil-rich area. War is also a useful distraction from economic misery and the current crisis of capitalism. read full story / add a comment

Matt Lygate the Scottish Socialist Republican has died. Here is an obituary.Matt was a believer, not just in Socialism but also in Christianity. If there is an afterlife then he has gone to join John Maclean and James Connolly. Full text at link. Born on 26/12/1938 in Govan Glasgow. From early on,Matt became an accomplished artist, orator, and thinker. He always loved the great outdoors and would often dissapear for hours up hills and down gullies. As a teenager, he moved to Sunderland with his family and became one of the best renouned tailor’s cutters of his time. When ordered to join the British Army (conscription was still in place even after the war), Matt, like his father during WWI, refused stating he would never join an imperialist British Army. That same week, he was on a boat to New Zealand before the powers that be could abscond him. Matt had been an avid member of the CPGB as well as a devout Christian, believing that Christ himself was a revolutionary socialist. read full story / add a comment |
