Capitalism in Crisis	Financial system on life support	104 Kb

THEY’VE SPENT YOUR MONEY; AND NOW THEY WANT IT BACK. The depth of this crisis demands mass action to break the domination of the City and finance capital over our economy, to sweep away the neo-liberal politicians leading all the major political parties and to reassert the struggle for socialism as the only alternative to capitalist chaos.

Is there an alternative to Capitalism?

We cannot afford to let a small minority of super-wealthy parasites, spivs and speculators run our economy. Instead of bailing them out, we should clear them out.
Britain's wealth is produced by working people. Together with their families, they—you —should own most of it, not a tiny minority.

Stop the Genocide - Freedom for the Palestinian People	Their aim is to separate Gaza and the West Bank completely, destroying the Palestinian Authority and any hope of a unified Palestinian state.	364 Kb

Published Janurary 2009

Israel’s bloody assault on the people of Gaza has to stop. The British government must demand immediate, unconditional withdrawal of Israeli armed forces.
For 40 years, Israel has defied UN resolutions calling for its withdrawal to pre-1967 borders, the right of return for refugees and the creation of a separate Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem.
For the past 20 years, US governments have funded the Israeli war machine with £60 million a week (US Congressional Research Service, January 2008). Without this massive subsidy, the war could not continue for a day.
In Israel itself, 450 people have been arrested during mass protests against Israeli aggression. The Israeli Communist Party, which unites Arabs and Jews, has demanded immediate and unconditional Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, as have the Palestinian and Arab Communist and left parties.

End the British government’s shameful support for Israeli aggression & US foreign policy

Fuel Poverty	DO YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN HEATING AND EATING? MILLIONS IN THE UK DO.	71 Kb

DO YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN HEATING AND EATING? MILLIONS IN THE UK DO.

What is fuel poverty?
The accepted definition is that any household spending more than 10% of its income on energy consumption is in fuel poverty. Of course, this is just the boundary line, and many households in the UK are forced either to spend significantly more than 10% of their income on energy - or to go without adequate heating.

1. FOR WORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES

Who creates society's wealth?
Who produces the good and delivers the essential services?
Working people - who with their families make up four-fifths of the population.

Yet the other one-fifth (company executives, big shareholders and land owners) own FOUR-FIFTHS of Britain's wealth.
