support nut and nasuwt strike action against academies in coventry

The last week has seen two great strikes against academy status in schools , which is privatiation !

Public Sector schools are being handed over to the private sector who will create a two tier education system . This will eventually lead to the children of the rich having the only access to the jobs that pay a wage ! Therefore to homes and a future . Everybody else will get poverty style working for benefits !!

We say SUPPORT THE TEACHERS IN STRIKE ACTION AGAINST ACADEMIES !!!

Liverpool demo against Welfare Reform

Monday , 9th May , 2011 , saw Stafford Socialist Party make an intervention in a demonstration against Disability Benefit Cuts outside the office of ATOS ORIGIN , just off Old Hall st , in Liverpool . Despite what was at times torrential rain , around sixteen people turned up to demonstrate against the IT firm that has taken up the CONDEM Government contract to slash the already meagre benefits of the most vulnerable members of our society .
Amongst the demonstrators were people with mental health diagnoses , which can start with conditions such as anxiety or depression , which anybody can suffer from if they have not got the skills to compete with in a harsh market driven economy .
There were also carers and a number of unemployed that were sympathising with the disabled .
The demonsration lasted for about two hours , and in those two hours i hope that those involved in the discussion would remember what was said about democratically nationalising the commanding heights of the economy , including the banks and insurance companies under democratic workers control and management , because this would release the funds to pay a living benefit equal to a wage for those unable to work , so that they can at least be allowed to partake of the things in our society that they can only dream of now .
