THE fuel bill scandal exposes the rotten carcass of late capitalism. While millions face the choice between heating or eating, the big energy companies are predicted to see their profits increase to £170 billion this year. As the system fails, establishment politics stands naked, unable to manage a crisis of its own making.
The only response of the Tory government is a renewed attack on the working class, combined with an economic policy that is a desperate last throw of the dice.
We face the fight of our lives to defend our public services, our livelihoods and our planet. Global corporations and their political lackeys are destroying them all. But resistance is building. The upsurge of strikes, with more on the horizon. shows many workers have had enough of being the victims of other people’s greed.
