SINCE the general election Britain has seen an increase in racist incidents and anti migrant protests. Such happenings aren’t new of course as over recent years we have regularly witnessed violent protests outside and inside hotels across all our nations.

Capitalism and imperialism are the root cause of these failings. Likewise the collapse of social democracy as a system that attempts to ameliorate the worst aspects of mass exploitation continues.
