The terrible tragedy at Potter's Bar has shown - yet again -that the privatisation of public services means profit comes before everything, including our lives.

For most of us privatisation means:

o The railway network has been turned into a death trap
o Huge cuts in pay and jobs
o Fewer hospital beds
o The collapse of local social and education services into chaos
o Sharp increases in rent for what used to be council houses
o Massive delays in housing benefit payments but fast track
evictions.

New Labour is determined to push ahead with its favourite policy of backdoor privatisation, through the Public Private Partnership(PPP) and the Private Finance Initiative (PFI). The London Underground is now top of Labour's privatisation hit list. But we can stop them if we fight back.

On 28 and 29 May New Labour's John Prescott will be opening
the Public Private Finance congress and awards ceremony at
the Royal Lancaster Hotel. On the evening of 29 May Rory
Bremner will be hosting the Gala Dinner for New Labour's fat cat friends - "over 750 of the industry's key decision makers" according the official blurb.

This dinner costs £135 for one ticket. That is more than a week's wages for many of those who have suffered from PPP and PFI.

The Agitator and Revolution are calling on everyone who
opposes the privatisation of the London Underground and other services, everyone who is sickened by the millionaires dining on the profits they have made from privatising our services, everyone who wants to put a stop to needless tragedies like Paddington, Hatfield and Potters Bar on the railways, to support a huge protest at the Gala Dinner Awards Ceremony on Wednesday 29 May, at 5.45pm.

Let's make sure that rich and famous - and their New Labour
groupies - hear us say, privatisation no way!
