Last night some anarchists paid a visit to the home of the leader of Nottingham City Council, Jon Collins, to deliver some pre-election propaganda. 'CUT COLLINS THE PARASITE!' and 'FIGHT THE CUTS!' were painted at the entrance to his block of flats.

Collins, who is also chair of the Notts Police Authority, has presided over a budget that has slashed public services. This is nothing less than a declaration of war against the working class of this city. We will not sit back and let this happen. We will take direct action against those responsible.

Collins is also the head of a cartel called the Nottingham Labour Party, which doles out puiblic funding, jobs and even social housing to its loyal lieutenants. This is to be expected in a city where Labour have no chance of getting voted out of office and can engage in corruption with nothing to fear.

But make no mistake - we have no illusions about the other parties and politicians that seek to replace Collins. The Tories, Lib Dems, the far right and the so-called socialists all sell out their supporters the moment they get a whiff of power. They are all slaves to a global capitalist economy. They are all different flavours of the same vile shit. We are sick of politicians and the sham democracy that has been imposed on us. They are all parasites, using our votes to enrich themselves, whilst we face cuts and enforced austerity. These leeches and the system that creates them must go.

We have let the politicians run the city. We can revolt and kick them out. We can make the city work for everyone, not just the ruling class.

For those interested in delivering their own propaganda to Collins, he can be contacted at [personal details removed].
