Happy New Year you lovely people.

New Year - Old Problems, and we have already seen fash on our streets and a rogue US state.

 

1st big event of the year is this Saturday organised by SPSC & CND:

Hands off Venezuela! Hands off Gaza!

US imperialism becomes more brazen by the day. The 'ceasefire' imposed on Palestinians, aimed at serving US strategic, military and business interests, followed by the kidnapping of a state leader in Venezuela, with no hiding the fact that this was about control of resources and securing the profits of oil companies. Join as we stand against a world order driven by greed, profit and aggression.

Rally at 12 noon outside Union Square/Aberdeen Train Station
