EU deal with Greece betrayal of OXI

16-07-2015 03:33

The die has been cast. The Geek prime minister Tsipras, who won the elections
because of his promise to make an end to Trojka austerity measures, has capitulated,
accepting the hardest EU deal with Greece ever. Shame on him and his party
Syriza, which has lost every credibility. It's a horrible betrayal of OXI, plunging
the Greek people in still worse misery. People of Greece, fight for Freedom!

Tower Hamlets voided votes - who is 'winning'? So far, corruption heads the news

08-06-2015 09:31

Thursday's scheduled re-election of the 2014 Tower Hamlets Exec Mayor Poll is already hitting the
news in predictable manner. Already 16 allegations are under reported investigation by the Police.

11-05-2015 12:04

THE workers and the trade unions throughout the world mark today the International Labor Day – 125th anniversary globally and 112th celebration here in the Philippines. This historic and revered day has been an enduring and stirring symbol for the working class despite serious setbacks caused by multipronged and systematic neoliberal attacks against the workers, the masses and their organizations, which have seriously threatened to dilute if not totally wipe out the hard-fought sociopolitical gains achieved by the labor movement in the past hundred years or so.
