Tomorrow’s Public Sector strike will be easily the biggest
strike day since the General Strike of 1926. In fact far more workers will
participate in the strike than on the first day of the 1926 General Strike.
Schools, Government Departments, Council Depots, Offices and Health Services
will grind to a halt as workers protest about massive increases in contributions
and cuts to their pensions.

 News last week of 27 higher
education institutions lowering their 2012/2013 tuition fees to £7500
appears to have failed to have had a great impact on students/university
applicants. This could partly be put down to the lower fee still being
of a similar level to those being charged by other universities; many
potential students feel that they are going to be in so much debt when
they leave university that £4500 will not make much difference.

On Friday more than a million Egyptian
youth, workers and poor yet again assembled in Tahrir Square. The
masses have once again risen in an attempt to remove the remnants of the
Mubarak regime, which are still in power. Not far from Tahrir, in
Abbassiya Square, not more than a couple of thousand people gathered in a
pathetic demonstration in support of the SCAF. To the sceptics who did
not believe in the revolution, this should be a clear demonstration of
the real balance of forces. But at the same time the revolution clearly
faces obstacles, not from external forces, but in its own internal
contradictions.

World Economic power is being concentrated into an
ever-decreasing number of huge multi-national firms, mainly financed based,
according to a report published by researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute
of Technology. After working through data from millions of companies they
concluded that just 147 companies have an iron grip on the global economy.

The 30th November day of action, for all intents and purposes a general
strike of the public sector, is a turning-point in Britain. It
represents a re-awakening of the working class after years of relative
dormancy. Now there is a catching up with the workers in the rest of
Europe, as the Coalition unleashes an austerity regime not seen for
generations. Sections are being drawn into struggle who have never been
involved in action before, such as head teachers - the first time they
have been on strike in their union's 114-year history.

 In the next few days we will know the result of the Unite ballot for
strike action at balfour Beatty. It is essential we get a positive
result there as Balfour Beatty was the one company (out of the seven in
the JIB agreement) who brought forward their threat to cut the terms and
conditions of hundreds of construction workers from March to December.

After overtaking Japan, this year
China became the second largest economy in the world. Some experts have
even predicted that by the end of this decade China may become the
largest economy bypassing the United States. However, that is based on a
mechanical, empirical approach that sees China maintaining its present
levels of growth uninterruptedly for years to come. In the past Japan
was also supposed to keep on growing, but then its apparent meteoric
rise was cut across by a long period of stagnation.

In Melancholia, Kirsten Dunst takes on the frankly masochistic task
of working with Lars Von Trier. The Danish director's work almost
exclusively deals with central female characters, who all suffer greatly
during the course of the film. Melancholia doesn't degrade it's main
character in the same way as Antichrist, or Dogville for that matter;
instead the only victim here is the audience
