What’s the deal with SPEW stealing our name, anyway?
The Electoral Commission says that if you’re creating a new political party, you’re not allowed to have the same name as another, or a name that is so similar to another party that it causes confusion between the two.
Trots know capitalism can’t be reformed. They keep telling workers to support reforms & vote for the Labour Party because they think workers will find out for themselves that it can’t be reformed, and so decide to help the vanguard party to take over the country.

Kim Johnson, MP, would also like to apologise for calling South Africa before the 1990’s, an apartheid state, and for calling a spade a spade. She recognises this as insensitive.
These so-called journalists uncritically report Rishi Sunak saying the country can’t afford to give health care workers a pay rise, and then boast about how much aid they’re sending to Ukraine!

Remember boy, that your forefather’s died
Lost in millions for a country’s pride
Never mention the trenches of Belgium
When they stopped fighting and they were one
A spirit stronger than war was at work that night
December 1914 cold, clear and bright
Countries’ borders were right out of sight
They joined together and decided not to fight
All together now, all together now
All together now in no man’s land (together)
All together now (all together), all together now (all together)
All together now (together, together)
In no man’s land (together, together)
The same old story again
All those tears shed in vain
Nothing learnt and nothing gained
Only hope remains
All together now, all together now
All together now in no man’s land (together)
All together now (all together), all together now (all together)
All together now in no man’s land (together)
All together now (all together now), all together now (all together now)
All together now (together, together)
In no man’s land (together, together)
All together now (all together), all together now (all together)

All together nowThe Molly Maguires (1970)
The Molly Maguires was a secret society of militant coal miners who battled their exploitation by mine owners with violence, intimidation… and sometimes murder. Based on actual events, this gripping story is a sympathetic and accurate account of the Irish-American miners’ struggle. Richard Harris plays a detective on undercover assignment for the owners, fighting to win the workers’ trust, and finally, fighting his own conscience. Sean Connery is the tough and suspicious leader of the Mollies who repeatedly tests the newcomer’s loyalty.

Matewan (1987)
Written and directed by John Sayles this 1920’s set drama based on real events, details the brutal battle between miners, strikebreakers and a corrupt coal mining company in a tense and emotional story of small-town poverty, bitterness and exploitation. When union man Joe Kenehan (Chris Cooper) arrives in the backwater town of Matewan, West Virginia to organise a workforce to stand up against the Stone Mountain Coal company, he finds that instead of the men presenting a united force against their real enemy, they are embroiled in disputes between themselves as tensions rise between white miners and black workers.
Despite all good intentions, the situation spirals out of all control and a bloody fight for livelihoods and dignity ensues.Reds (1981)
This film, based on actual events, tells the story of John Reed (Warren Beatty), American Communist, journalist and activist, whose love affair with writer/feminist Louise Bryant (Diane Keaton) unfolds against the explosive backdrop of the Russian Revolution.
Do Anything You Wanna Do by Eddie & the Hotrods
Gonna break out of the city
Leave the people here behind
Searching for adventure
It’s the type of life to find
Tired of doing day jobs
With no thanks for what I do
I’m sure I must be someone
Now I’m gonna find out whoWhy don’t you ask them what they expect from you?
Why don’t you tell them what you are gonna do?
You’ll get so lonely, maybe it’s better that way
It ain’t you only, you got something to say
Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna doDon’t need no politicians to tell me things I shouldn’t be
Neither no opticians to tell me what I oughta see
No one tells you nothing even when you know they know
But they tell you what you should do
They don’t like to see you growWhy don’t you ask them what they expect from you?
Why don’t you tell them what you are gonna do?
You’ll get so lonely, maybe it’s better that way
It ain’t you only, you got something to say
Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna doGonna break out of the city
Leave the people here behind
