Socialism excludes minority (or just working class) rule
Fri, 23 Jan 2009 03:54:13 -0800 (PST)
The following is partly intended as a letter to the Weekly Worker
(www.cpgb.org.uk):

No Heathrow vote.
Wed, 14 Jan 2009 22:28:07 -0800 (PST)
As anticipated, the decision to expand Heathrow has been forced
through by the PM and Cabinet alone without the consent of Parliament.
Our Crapocracy is such that the People were not even allowed to choose
those who made this decision, the PM and Cabinet. So it is not just
foreign policy which the People are not a ...

I'm off anti-psychotic medication!
Thu, 1 Jan 2009 06:47:39 -0800 (PST)
As some oif you have been aware, I've been forced to take anti-

they had.
YES 21,231
NO 14,592
Turnout 19.23 per cent.
AIUI NO would have meant keeping a Mayor but with a Cabinet.
