With MJN Colston backing down there is 7 to go and concentrating
on the next weakest links seems the right tactic now. They are Tommy Clarkes, SPIE
Matthew Hall and Grattes. The pressure is building on the not quite so big now 7 as we hear that they are getting grief from the clients. Last Saturday in Manchester at the North West rank and file meeting
100 sparks and supporters discussed, debated then decided what next . And, despite the efforts of
a unite official, the meeting elected its own North West committee to plan and organise
action in Manchester and Liverpool area. £281.27 was collected for siteworker.

 The Tory Party conference is the place where leading Conservatives get
to "let their hair down" and head off into flights of fancy about giving
the working class/young people/foreigners (delete as applicable) a good
hammering. This is not just to cuddle up to the Torygraph and the Daily
Mail but to square things with the assembled Tory ranks in case they
are needed for election purposes.

The 4th October marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, a momentous event in which the working people of London united to deliver a decisive blow against the menace of British fascism. In this article, Sam Ashton commemorates the brave stand of those workers who fought the Mosleyite thugs, while drawing important lessons for today's struggles against the English Defence League and BNP.

 The 24 hour strike by UNISON members to defend Health and
Education Services in Northern Ireland is an indication of the scale of the
crisis in the public sector. But its also the most significant trade
union struggle to hit the North since the onset of the current economic
crisis.

 On Sunday October 2nd, some 40,000 trade
unionists and anti-cuts campaigners took part in a March for the Alternative
through the streets of Manchester city centre to lobby the Tory Party
Conference. Although this was a national TUC organised event it was obvious
that most of those present came from the North and North West of the UK with
only a sprinkling further south from Wales, Bristol and some parts of London.

With the
re-introduction of the emergency law, the military junta is desperately
trying to strangle the revolution and return to the “normality” of the
Mubarak era. But the workers are on the move. The recent upsurge in
strikes and protests could spell the end for the SCAF regime.

The euphoria amongst the Egyptian masses that followed the fall of
Mubarak in February has disappeared. The hard reality of the situation –
in which political, social, and economic conditions have barely changed
– has set in. The revolution has not ended, however, but has, after a
brief lull, transitioned from the streets to the workplaces. The working
class in Egypt – the motor force of the revolution – is organising and
is on the move.

In an interview which shocked the BBC
News presenter, “independent trader” Alessio Rastani gave a very frank
appraisal of his perspectives for the world economy. "This economic
crisis is like a cancer, if you just wait and wait hoping it is going to
go away, just like a cancer it is going to grow and it will be too
late,” he said, adding that governments would not be able to fix the
economy.

Had the Chinese Communist Party(CCP) leadership been fully conscious of
what their conquest in Shanghai in 1927 really meant, there would have
been no stopping them. The example of Shanghai being taken by the
organised working class, rather than the military forces of the
Guomindang, could have been spread around the country through the CCP
party structures and their network of commanders in the Northern
Expedition from Guangzhou up to Wuhan, Nanchang, Nanjing and Shanghai.

It has often been said that the "experts" of the ruling class will in
many cases come to the same conclusions as the Marxists but from
opposite ends of the class struggle.

2008 was the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Fourth
International. The International was established by Leon Trotsky and
his supporters in September 1938. As part of the commemoration of this
event Rob Sewell
draws out some of the key lessons and methods on which the Trotskyist
movement was built during
the 1930s. He also explains that while the Fourth International no
longer exists in an
organisational form, it continues for Marxists today in our theory,
programme, method and approach.
