Deception as progress

Great Homer street Market to close.

Matalan have managed to buy into the Gt Homer st site using the philantropic tactic of donating some cash to but a childrens play ground. All the stall holders will lose their livlihoods- an obscure offer of a future smaller market at the old Schofields factory has been muted. In reality a Matalan will be built to take the market share previously held by the stall holders and the new "jobs" will be minimum wage, part time , and for those partly supported by the state-single parents meaning the tax payer will underwrite the profits of MataLAND. Welcome to the welfare capatilism of the epoch- Socialism for the rich precarity for the rest of us.
No War but the Class War.
