Capitalists and their mouthpiece, the media, are forever warning workers the dangers of unelected trade union leaders.

There’s now new unelected prime minister, an unelected, (by stint of parentage parasite) head of state.

We should not take lectures from the capitalist class!

Are you struggling? At least the the oligarchs aren’t worrying. £40m mansion gets new trees planted in their back garden! Times are tough…. not for some, not!

Sorry to blow my own trumpet.

But very pleased with this from the Times, comments section….NHS nurses set to strike.

Conclusive proof, if proof was ever needed l posted elsewhere.
CEOs in the water industry rewarded for failure. Paid 300x median salary of their workers. Then we wonder why NHS staff are voting for strikes!

AJ

Did read that Ukrainians are white (fairly obvious) and christian…

The Government can find £4bn* in ‘aid’ to Ukraine.
The US I can’t remember how many

So according to those who say Capitalism has bought billions of people out of poverty (ignoring all the evidence to the contrary) do they suggest we wait for this to happen…?

Begging the question in the first place that this is even remotely possible*?

1.4bn face food insecurity… the market dictates no profit no production.

*She said the hunger crisis was building “like a life-threatening wave before us” but it was Russia’s war that had “made a tsunami out of this wave”, and she said Russia was using hunger as a weapon of war.
