Apparently their rubber bands are made in sweatshops. Oh, the irony.

Y'all might want to read the front page of the next issue of Freedom, if you want to know why Make Poverty History is a complete fucking sham (we're talking about it supporting an active attack on the poverty-stricken here, not just ineffective wishywashyness). We're leading with an expose of it.

Not surprised the stuff from the swp just ain't good enough, a few of their number over here (norn irn) are involved in Make Poverty History. Not as a Party of course - cos thats not allowed (by MPH). But SWP members, er rather, organisers, are in there 'representing' various other organisations that they're involved in.

unfortunately, the latter is the slogan of this year's SWP Marxism conference...
maybe just make history? make (y)our own history?

surely 'Make the ruling class history' is the correct line
'Poverty, its a bit shit really' and 'Make bad things stop happening' are however, more amusing
