The scale of solidarity has not been seen in decades - but the deal SIPTU signed up to has fallen far short of the hopes of those involved in this struggle. A look at the dispute and the ‘deal’.

Arab fighters and insurgents have demonstrated to the world that the US is a ‘superpower’ in name only. A poorly armed and trained but highly motivated and dedicated band of fighters has exposed the US military as weak, inept, unskilled, brutal and bereft. From South America to the Himalayas, resistance against capitalist plunder and exploitation signals the inevitable failure of militaristic capitalism. Regardless of all other considerations people today have confirmed that they will fight any aggressor who threatens their homes, families and way of life. ... read full story / add a comment

These three barbaric, primitive, patriarchal religions are the scourge of the planet; no other social group matches their blood lust, violence, hypocrisy and disregard for the environment – they stand indicted by their actions. Allow me to draw your attention to that which you would constantly deny. ... read full story / add a comment
