OPPRESSION IN ALL ITS INSIDIOUS FORMS!

It is truly amazing to observe how oppressive local government is. While the left wing has its head buried in international issues local government in this country oppresses poor working class communities. While us thin on the ground working class left try to expose what is going on in our communities the main contingent of the left are nowhere to be seen. Read more >>

COBALT are now in the process of demolishing many council houses and replacing them with new build estates. All of these new builds will be for sale.

Lies, damn lies and Labour promises

‘Labour is committed to reducing by one third the backlog of sub-standard housing by 2004, with all social housing brought up to a decent standard by 2010.’
This was the bold claim made in New Labour’s 2001 Manifesto. It was a welcome commitment; after all who wouldn’t want to see the stock of well maintained affordable housing increase?
