Dear Friend,
The fight is on. And it’s on the
streets. With Parliament banned from sitting by the Prime Minister
there’s only one way we can challenge the Tories propaganda blitz in
the run-up to a general election. And that’s by getting on the
streets.
The very best place to do that is outside the Tory party’s
annual conference in Manchester on the 29th September.
That’s the place where Boris Johnson and his criminal gang will
be trying to pretend that they have ended austerity. But that’s a big
fat lie.
It would take more than a few pre-election concessions to put
right the damage a dozen years of austerity since the great economic
crash. That’s a dozen years of
declining wages, rising poverty, increasing homelessness, of draining
resources from the NHS and the education system.
No one in their right
mind thinks that Boris Johnson and his cabinet of horrors has any real
intention of putting life right for working people.
It would not in the
interests of Boris Johnson's rich friends to re-nationalise rail,
mail, and essential utilities. They’ll never look after the NHS
because they don’t need the NHS to look after them. They go to Harley
Street. Their kids don’t go to the local comprehensive school, they’re
all packed off to Eton and Harrow. And they don’t need a wage rise
because they’ve already had one every year that is many multiples of
the rate of inflation.
A complacent and complicit media will never
report that there is not one nation but two, a poor Britain and a rich
Britain. That’s the divide that matters, much more than whether you
voted leave or remain in the EU referendum.
The labour movement
in this country has to lead the fight back. The left has to lead the
fight back…before the right capitalise on the raw anger building up at
the base of society.
So join us outside the Tory party conference
at the end of the month. Book your ticket now. Book the coaches now.
Help leaflet your local area. Bring your fellow trade unionists. Bring
members of your community. Bring members of your mosque or church or
synagogue. Bring your workmates and family.
We are in the midst
of a political crisis that only comes once a generation. We have a
chance to take down the representatives of the rich and powerful who
wrecked havoc in the lives of working people. For all our sakes, for
the sake of generations to come, join the fight back now.
