Workers fighting each other solves nothing

TONY CONWAY END RACIST LAWS

FAR RIGHT groups are doing the rounds of Britain's towns and cities using local concerns – some legitimate some not – to target people who have been compulsory relocated to run down hotels.

The racist rhetoric of government, its treatment of refugees and the ongoing cuts in public services has given rise to violent demonstrations across Britain. Sinister far-right formations, of nazi inspiration, are spreading rumour and lies and preying on frustrations and fears of the most poverty afflicted working class communities.

Millions of people are displaced due to war, poverty, persecution and natural catastrophes.

Communists stand in defence of working people in every community – including those who are seeking a life free from war and all those exploited and oppressed.

We stand for working class unity.

The current industrial disputes sweeping across Britain are symptomatic of the failure of government and the capitalist system – the value of wages is falling to its lowest levels in decades while working class communities are left to rot.

Mortgage rates hiked up and runaway rents mean familes face hunger and cold.

At the same time banks maximise profit by driving down terms and conditions. Energy Company profits rise on the back of unaffordable energy prices.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman scapegoats migrant workers and refugees migrants adding exra pressure on people already persecuted by the system.

March 21st is the International Day for the elimination of racial discrimination.

It marks the 1960 police massacre of peaceful demonstrators in South Africa, who were protesting against the apartheid pass laws. Likewise in 2023 we must all unite to defend our rights and those that are peresecuted.

Government immigration policies are fundamentally wrong. Britain needs anti racist immigration and nationality laws and working class unity not division. Let us take the fight to government, the bosses and the bankers.
