 It is unusual
for the captains of industry to blatantly come out and formally back the
Tories in public. It is more likely that these creatures of the night
stay in the dark
pulling the political strings, manipulating the news media and ruining
the
lives of millions of workers. However,
a well-planned media storm has been created just before the election
over
National Insurance increases but, as Edward Heath might have described
them,
these ‘Ugly Faces of Capitalism’ have a lot to hide.

 Over the past year, members of the CYWU section of Unite
have been fighting and campaigning to defend Youth Services provision in
Coventry. The Tory-controlled City Council had employed Price Waterhouse
Cooper
(PWC) as its partner consultants and the Youth Service is the first in
line to
feel the axe at a cost of £67,000. PWC will examine
all areas of the Council’s operations and advise on “savings”, that is
cuts...

The recent death of Eugene Terre
Blanche, leader of the AWB (Afrikaner Resistance Movement), at the
hands of two farm workers, has highlighted the situation that exists
today in South Africa, on the one hand the many unresolved problems of
the huge majority of black workers and poor, and on the other a
minority within the white population who cannot reconcile themselves to
the end of Apartheid, upon which their privileges depended.

 The ICTU leaders recently consulted
their members over the “Public Service agreement”. Most of the public service unions have been rejecting the deal, which reveals that the
workers are prepared to fight. But are the leaders up to the task?

The massive over-reaction of the police and the courts against arrested Gaza demonstrators has come as a shock. Usually people convicted of minor public order offences get
a suspended sentence or community service.This time the judge has been
handing
down savage sentences of up to two and a half years at Isleworth Crown
Court.

The government of Kyrgyzstan has
fallen! According to reports this morning President Kurmanbek Bakiyev,
who opened fire on his own people, has fled. The government has been
dissolved and opposition forces have begun to assume power. Yesterday

received a report from a comrade in Russia, which gives a graphic
account of these events.

 Yet again the bosses' judicial system has intervened to stop a union
taking industrial action. This time they have forced the RMT to cancel
their strike action due to take place this week.

 The general election of 2010 has been called. To no-one's surprise, on Thursday 6th May, voters will go to the polls to decide who will form the next UK government. For a very long time now, the Tories - the party of big business - have enjoyed a sizeable poll lead, backed up by good results in local and Euro elections. Yet the gap between the Tories and Labour has closed sharply in recent months. Why is this?

 The centre of Dudley in the Midlands became
a ghost town on Saturday 3rd April with shops on the
High Street
boarded up, resembling the effects the recession had last year on many
towns .
But this deserted town centre was not the result of an economic
downturn, well
not exactly. It was the overreaction of the Midlands police in occupying
the
town with road blocks in an attempt to prevent trade unionists and
socialists demonstrating
against the venomous EDL who were trying to sow divisions amongst the
workers
of Dudley.

In the build up to the September
elections, the right-wing opposition is preparing on several fronts.
Economic sabotage is one of them, as are the manoeuvres on the part of
right-wing elements within the Bolivarian movement itself. Meanwhile,
all this is having a radicalising effect on the left.
