Last week the CPUSA launched a new Rapid Response project aimed at mobilising a popular resistance to policies enacted by the new government. CAMERON HARRISON explains
EXTRAORDINARY and disgraceful scenes in the House of Commons have grabbed the public’s attention. But there is a danger of the more fundamental issues becoming blurred.
The key issue is ending the assault on the Palestinian people. In addition, the democratic majority of this country, who want peace, are being prevented from having their views represented at all and having their voices stifled.
