LAST week saw the largest industrial action on our railways for more than 40 years. Let us hope that this is the moment the working class in this country realises its strength and power.
The rail strikes must be the beginning of a mass movement in this country against our broken economic model, which preserves the obscene rich of the few at the expense of the basic necessities of the many.
