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.

Coronavirus crisis - Finance appeal
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.
- The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
- Our 'fighting coronavirus workers' charter', outlines a programme to combat the virus and protect workers' living conditions.
- When the health crisis subsides, we must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
Inevitably, during the crisis we have not been able to sell the Socialist and raise funds in the ways we normally would.
We therefore urgently appeal to all our viewers to donate to our special coronavirus appeal.
