Please accept this donation of £2,000 which is part of a recent legal settlement from the construction workers blacklisting case.

Can I humbly dedicate this donation to all activists past and present who have had the courage, determination and understanding to take an active part in the class struggle.

Moreover let’s not forget the numerous activists who have been on the more secretive blacklist other than the recent case. If anything this is and was more insidious because it is more secretive, concealed on documents/diaries and numerous phone calls and discussions which employers and their lackeys manage to keep undercover and therefore not subject to legal cases and therefore no compensations.

These creatures from the black lagoon can be countered effectively by struggle, solidarity and socialism.
