Tony Blair has called the general election for May 5. He did this as
opinion polls show a sharp fall in Labour support, down to 37% of the
electorate, with the Tories close behind at 34% and the Liberal
Democrats at 21%. This would indicate another Blair victory but with a
much reduced majority and with significant layers of the working class
voting for nobody. There will be no street parties this time.

Jamie Oliver’s television programme has highlighted the scandal of junk
food school meals being served up to British children by private firms.
In some cases a pathetic 37p is being spent per child. This is the
inevitable consequence of allowing profit hungry privateers anywhere
near our children’s health and education. |

In Southern Ireland the
economic miracle is well and truly over. As we have predicted and explained for
some time now, the Celtic Tiger phenomenon did not mean that capitalism had
solved any of its contradictions. Now in the context of a declining world market
the only road open to the bosses to protect their profits will be an assault on
workers living standards. |

The cornerstone of a freedom established almost 800 years ago is now
under threat from a Labour government. The latest reactionary piece of
legislation hands power to the Home Secretary of the day to hold those
he claims to be suspected terrorists under house arrest indefinitely. |

We republish this article on the referundum on the EEC Common Market,
written by Ted Grant in 1979. The article explains that the struggle
against a capitalist common market needs to be linked to the struggle
of changing society on socialist lines, as the struggle against the
European Constitution today must also be. |
