Now that the referendum is over, the focus of the media has leapfrogged the coming months and focused on the general election. Nothing else is held to be relevant.
The aim of the Poor Laws was always to punish the poor. By the start of the 20th century that policy was beginning to erode. But it took working class resistance to finish them off.
We find ourselves with our laws made by a foreign body, daily asserting extra powers for itself, trying to force us into a single economy with a single currency and soon to establish a single armed force.
This year will see a host of elections. Can the working class could use them to advance our interests? Or is there a better way?

Political statement from the 13th Congress of the CPBML, London, 21/22 April 2003. Capitalism is now in terminal decay, unable to feed, clothe, house, provide work for or meet the needs of the people of this country. From seeming synonymous with manufacture, capital is now its antithesis.
