Report: Socialist Appeal Conference 2009 Print E-mail
By Socialist Appeal

ben-speaking1234.jpgAt the beginning of this month comrades from up and down the country met in London for the National Conference of the Socialist Appeal, the British group supporting the International Marxist Tendency. The British Marxist tendency met last year as the economic crisis had begun to affect British capitalism. This year the system in Britain and internationally shows no sign of emerging from the recession it has plunged into, overshadowing the bourgeoisies’ celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the collapse of the Berlin wall, which they saw as the 'final victory' of capitalism. Comrades left in high spirits determined to build the forces of Marxism throughout Britain, as our part in the fight for socialism internationally.
 
Going, going, gone? The referendum on Scottish independence Print E-mail

Tuesday, 17 March 2009

as1.jpgThe chances of a referendum on Scottish independence appear increasingly distant following a Scottish parliamentary vote in favour of a resolution condemning moves towards one. This is a huge blow to the SNP self-declared Scottish Government that is committed to holding a referendum before the current parliament ends in 2011. However the vote has also done little for a Labour Party that has lost all sense of direction, as its leadership exposes itself as utterly unable to capitalise on the SNP’s fall from grace.

prismepicswsmall.jpgAs has already been reported on marxist.com and socialist.net, the workers at the PRISME packaging plant in Dundee have been in occupation since the 4th of March. The workers decided to occupy the factory after they were each given a letter informing them of their immediate dismissal without any of the pay they were owed from the first of March. They demanded a letter outlining the payments they were due, which when the received outlined all they payments they were entitled to, however it scandalously concluded with the sentence “Unfortunately, we do not have enough money to make these payments to you.”

iwsnpicket1c.jpgAn enthusiastic group of British trade unionists, Socialist Appeal members and IWSN activists, gathered outside the Iranian regime's embassy in London at 12:30 on March 14. After assembling on the other side of the road, where pickets are normally held, the protesters moved to the pavement outside the embassy to chant slogans like "Free all political prisoners in Iran!", "Independent workers' unions now!" and "Iranian workers are not alone!". The pickets even tried, with some success, to chant "Kargaran-e iran tanha nistand" ("Iranian workers are not alone!").
