Part of my political education in the late 1970's while I was in my mid-20's was an anecdote regarding Lord Beaverbrook's purchase of Express Newspapers or the Daily Express decades before. Someone challenged the newspaper magnate as to why he spent a lot of money on buying such a 'tatty little rag'. Beaverbrook responded saying that rather than buying a 'tatty little rag', he had "bought a million minds."
In the 21st Century the Daily Express is now owned by Richard Desmond and is one of the main proponents of propaganda that has led to increased hate crime against sick and disabled people and benefit claimants in general, as well as asylum seekers.
So now it comes as no surprise to me that he has little spare energy to devote to 'adult tv' channels. Under the current UK Government, disability hate crime has greater 'respectability' than 'soft adult porn'.
Self-help support vs ravages of 'welfare reform'. Never attend anywhere official alone!
This blog currently focuses on national policy matters that impact upon KUWG members.
Kilburn Unemployed Workers Group as a group focuses primarily on combating benefits injustices locally through advocacy in individuals' benefit claims, and demonstrations that emphasise that there is hope when we come together. We are more angry than frightened.
