With the death of #QueenElizabeth, not only has a monarch died, but also the last shreds of credibility of British Trade Unionism as union leaders call off widespread popular strike action to doff their caps to the ruling class to bare their nationalist souls and shed tears.
Workers respond to the announcements aghast that their struggles and sacrifices come so cheaply and easily in the midst of the worst #CostOfLivingCrisis as union bureaucrats reveal their true allegiance.
A monarch has died, but the #ClassStruggle is alive and kicking!
NOW is the time for workers to break with the stifling & cowardly trade union bureaucracy and build their own #RankAndFileCommittees!
Join with the workers of the world in the IWA-RFC!
I believe that the Queen was taken to Scotland to die to try & head off another attempt at Scottish independence.
They will have her lying in state in Edinburgh after parading her through Scotland.
Nothing quite like stirring up patriotic feelings for serving a political agenda.
I believe that the Queen has been seriously ill for some months, indeed, in his early commentary Nicholas Witchell said:-
“I think we can be candid, there have been rumours of cancers but no, of course, confirmation…”
So doctors have been able to judge how much time she had and the state has been able to choreograph the necessary actions - I.e. move the Queen to Balmoral to perform her final duty to save the Union.
Why else would you move a seriously ill elderly person 100’s of miles?
Having watched & enjoyed @PaulMcCartney’s set at #Glastonbury on TV last night, after his set I was appalled to see him come back onstage waving an outsized Ukrainian flag, accompanied by that “Butcher’s apron”, the UnionJack. If this isn’t the opposite of all that Glastonbury 1/
stands for, I don’t know what is! #Glastonbury was established in the spirit of hippiedom and the 1960’s counter culture, anti war and anti establishment. The Beatles were once actually a part of this counter culture supporting peace and love! 2/
#Ukraine’s #Zelensky on the other hand, does not seek peace, but continues to demand more and heavier weaponry in the US/NATO proxy war against #Russia. He is the West’s puppet in ensuring the escalation of hostilities to the point of embedding actual Nazis in Ukraine’s army 3/
The people of Donbas do not agree with you! They have been shelled by #Ukraine for 8 years! You are not for peace, you are for war! #NoWar#NoWarInUkraine!
The volume and intensity of war propaganda emanating out of the mainstream media in support of Ukraine, is comparable to to the unrelenting artillery barrages on the trenches prior to a major offensive. 1/
The effect is to stun the enemy (if it doesn’t kill them first) into a stupor. So many individuals who took a principled stance against #Covid & the governments lies & evasions - repeated & reinforced in the msm 2/
- seem to have lost either the ability or the need to apply the same level of scrutiny & critical thought to the Ukraine crisis. And yet what is required here is a conscious evaluation of the “information” being spewed out, and the manner in which it is spewed. 3/
Solidarity with the second #SchoolStrike2021#October15th! The Tories do nothing but wilful harm and cannot be appealed to. Meanwhile, Labour “leader” Keri Starmer keeps his party on a leash and lets the Tories off the hook. 1/

Then the “traditional” organisations defending workers, the trade unions are also very muted in their response, when they should be at the forefront of defending their members interests- their lives in fact! 2/
No sign of teachers unions supporting this independent strike action. No sound of genuine protestations to make schools and workplaces safe. #SafeEdForAll and other grass root orgs show the way. Build rank & file safety committees and this strike action internationally.
