01-04-2014 12:33

Today, 1 April, has been called as a further day of action against ATOS and the Department for Work and Pensions. I decided to lend my support to the call for an end to the notorious work capability assessments that force disabled people to seek jobs that don't exist, and to the genocidal government policy of cutting off benefits and leaving claimants without the means of survival.

Ash Wednesday peace liturgy and End Hunger Fast Campaign

15-03-2014 11:12

scott wrote repent in old war office
The Catholic Workers in and around London begun Lent on Ash Wednesday by joining Pax Christi and many other Christians for a peace liturgy outside the Ministry of Defence. First we recognised our own sinfulness before we witnessed against and resisted nuclear war preparations by marking the building of the Ministry of Defence with blessed charcoal. Scott Albrecht - from the Catholic Worker Farm - wrote “Repent” on the wall inside the door to the Old War Office.

As a Lenten observance Scott has also shaved his head and is attempting to do a 40 day fast. This is to highlight food poverty in Britain. Keith Hebden who is also fasting said that Scott has a unique perspective on hunger in Britain.

RIP Bob Crow - who told it like it is - RMT General Secretary

11-03-2014 13:31

Audio
At 10:25am, 15 mins or so after Bob's death was announced, BBC Radio 5 Live's political correspondent Chris Mason reported that Bob Crow 'was always winding up politicians'.

05-03-2014 12:52

In April George Osborne’s mass workfare scheme will begin. Unemployed people will be sentenced to 780 hours community work simply for being unable to find a job. Not even lone parents with young children are to be exempt from the scheme which will see so-called charities like Groundwork UK and the Salvation Army paid by the tax payer to force people to work for free. Part time workers and those currently genuinely volunteering will also face being sent on unpaid work.
