Socialist Labour Party Press Release on the Financial Crisis
SOCIALIST LABOUR PARTY PRESS STATEMENT HOW TO RESOLVE IN THE SHORT TERM THE FINANCIAL CRISIS 1. SCRAP TRIDENT – THE CURRENT CRISIS CAN BE RESOLVED BY SCRAPPING THE REPLACEMENT OF TRIDENT NUCLEAR WEAPONS SYSTEM AND ITS ONGOING COSTS, A POLICY WHICH WILL COST BETWEEN £250 and £350 billion more than enough. Use that saving on our NATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM, our EDUCATION SYSTEM, CARE HOMES AND PAY WAGES WILL PAY DECENT WAGES AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE INCREASE IN THE ANNUAL RETAIL PRICES (RPI) 2. PUBLIC OWNERSHIP – IN ADDITION TAKE BACK ALL INDUSTRIES AND SERVICES INTO PUBLIC OWNERSHIP WITHOUT PAYING A PENNY TO ANY OF THE PRIVATISATIONS WHICH HAVE WRECKED OUR RAIL INDUSTRY, AND OUR COAL INDUSTRY (If it had not been closed we would not have had an energy crisis!) GOVERNMENTS PRIVATISED OUR WATER SYSTEM. THE PRIVATISED PHARMACEUTICAL SECTOR SHOULD BE IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE AND NOT IN THE THOSE OF THE UNITED STATES MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES. 3. FAIR TAX SYSTEM – WE NEED A TAX SYSTEM WHERE ANYONE BELOW £30,000 would pay no tax. An income of between £30,000 and £50,000 – 30%; between £50,000 and £80,000 – 40%; between £80,000 and £100,000 – 50%; between £100,000 and £200,000 – 75%; between £200,000 and £300,000 – 80%; any income above £300,000 – 90%. 4. SUPPLY OUR OWN INDUSTRIES AND FOOD PRODUCTION – We should build our own cars, aircraft, heavy and light engineering, grow our own food with our own workers who should be paid an average wage. Don’t say we can’t do it. We did it during the second war and we did it for years after, YES AND WE DID IT UNTIL WE WERE SUCKED INTO THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY (EEC, later to become the European Union) controlled by UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS and INTO NATO WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE, TOGETHER WITH THE USA, FOR DETERMINING WHICH COUNTRIES THEY LIKE AND THOSE THEY DO NOT. 5. WAR IN THE UKRAINE – THE UK AS PART OF NATO WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONFLICT IN UKRAINE, IN CONTRAVENTION OF AN AGREEMENT CONCLUDED BETWEEN JAMES BAKER, THE USA SECRETARY OF STATE AND GORBACHEV the Leader of the Soviet Union. NATO SAYS A COUNTRY HAS A RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION. How do they explain why they do not implement sanctions on ISRAEL WHO HAVE OCCUPIED PALESTINE UNLAWFULLY SINCE 1967 or the USA WHO OCCUPY PART OF CUBA AND WHO TOOK THE UK INTO AN UNLAWFUL WAR AGAINST IRAQ which cost over a million lives, including British and American. Why no SANCTIONS AGAINST GREAT BRITAIN FOR ITS OCCUPATION OF PART OF IRELAND? Socialist Labour Party 12/10/2022

Biden’s War
Saudi Oil Windfall Tops $65billion While the rest of us suffer massive inflation, high prices and lower real incomes and pensions, there are those having a lovely war at your expense. The Socialist Labour Party will expose those making massive profits from Biden’s war. Since the U.S. President, Joe Biden went crawling to Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, the Kingdom’s Sheik’s are enjoying a lovely war as oil income has doubled in the second quarter of this year. The Saudi state-controlled oil giant, Aramco, has received a massive windfall of $65billion in oil revenues, but decided to keep the windfall to itself and not increase dividends. Good work if you can get it! Instead, the oil giant made payments to the government which owns 94 percent of the company, meaning the Sheiks, who run the totally undemocratic country, ignoring “normal democratic norms” and are regarded by many in the U.S. Senate as having been involved in the murder of Saudi/American Journalist, Jamal Khoshoggi, received more than $65billion in the period, up from $35billion a year earlier, this according to statements released on Monday (15 August 2022.) So, while the rest of us pay for this Biden created war, it’s a lovely war for some. Ken Capstick, Yorkshire Region 15/08/2022

Water shortages. A solution.
The reason the United Kingdom and most of the world is facing water shortages is in part the closures of Reservoirs and the failure to construct new reservoirs – but the solution is to develop desalinisation plants which turn sea Water into clean Water. We have rising sea levels, a problem which could be resolved by the desalinisation process, providing clean water not just in the United Kingdom but to the rest of the world Water should be in public ownership throughout the world and with desalinisation we can provide water free of charge and in the process save millions of lives. Desalinisation is needed now . Now we can see how dangerous Thatcher’s great water robbery really was. ARTHUR SCARGILL PRESIDENT NUM 1982-2002 SOCIALIST LABOUR PARTY 10/8/2022
