Occupy report in The Daily Mail

16-10-2011 19:05

Some context about the Occupy movement as reported in the right-wing newspaper The Daily Mail. The Daily Mail is a/ hard-right b/ virulently pro-capitalist c/ sells over 2 million copies, so reports like this are absolute gold-dust - all the more so for preaching to the UN-converted and through not originating in the radical press.

Tory Strategy to Trump Fantastic Manchester Protest

02-10-2011 19:21

The Conservative Party were relying on there being a poor turn-out for the Anti-Cuts protest in Manchester today. Unfortunately for the Tories, 35,000 people showed-up. David Cameron's response was to play the Tory trump card - by announcing an immediate return to Margaret Thatcher's most divisive, effective and populist strategy. The Tories are going to sell more cut-price Council Housing...

Class War in Manchester & Manhattan

01-10-2011 21:40

Rather than totally ignoring anti-capitalist protest as you might imagine, the front page of the right-wing Daily Mail newspaper's website is reporting another week of protest against Wall Street, and asking whether these demos represent a "middle-class uprising"? The Arab Spring was characterised by its broadly middle-class make-up, and research shows that over 70% of British people no longer see themselves as working-class.....

Benefiting from workfare - 'It's exploitation and it's repellent'

27-09-2011 11:41

TK Maxx, Wilkinsons, Savers and Matalan have been named as major retailers where unemployed people are being sent to work without pay. Since our article last month[1] exposing Tesco, Primark and other multinationals taking unpaid work placements, various people have contacted Corporate Watch describing their own experiences of being sent to major retailers, as well as councils and charities, to do similar work to that of salaried staff while receiving only £67.50 a week in Jobseekers' Allowance.

State strategies to wreck UK Uncut, Dale Farm & March 26 etc

23-09-2011 16:23

The activist community needs to acknowledge the fact that the establishment is (often, if not always) much better at contesting campaigns over issues like public sector cuts etc than we are. The proof of this hypothesis is the fact that they've been able to implement such cuts etc at all. We need to face up to this, to coldly analyze how it is that they're able to de-rail our campaigns, and modify our beliefs and actions accordingly.
