Labour has appointed Becky Francis, an intersectional feminist, to rewrite the national curriculum, which it will then force all schools to teach. Prepare for even more woke claptrap to be shoehorned into the classroom.

I've worked with Singhalese and Tamil factions from Sri Lanka. Ditto northern Ireland. native population with british planters set up in the northern part, bit of deja vu here. I liked the native Singhalese and my sympathies definitely lie there. WHo started the bloodshed? Beware viewing the non confrontational as being weak. it's a pity to see greed for property and power infect the poverty classes but as usual the british walked off and leaves the mess behind them. I'll say no more, it's a pity, but last gun standing gets the prize as always. Such a shame...
An emergency picket has been called by the Socialist Party to protest at the continued threat of assasination that hangs over the head of Siritunga Jayasuriya and other activists who are campaigning against the communal and sectarian attacks on the Tamil speaking minority. Meet tomorrow at 12.30 at the Sri Lankan Consul, 59 Ranelagh Road (Luas stops Charlemont or Ranelagh)
Yesterday (Monday), up to 7,000 people protested though the streets of Colombo while thousands boycotted work in the Tamil areas. A high profile international campaign of protests and pickets can force the government to pull back the paramilitary groups they have unleashed. The USP report that the authorities already feel the pressure.
The night before Raviraj was killed, he and Siri were talking. Raviraj warned Siri that because he was Sinhala who was helping Tamils, he was a prime target. Siri replied that so was Raviraj. Raviraj's replied that he felt more secure because he had four body guards. The next morning, as he was getting into his car, he and one of his bogyguards were gunned down. This demonstrates the threat that is there for those socialists and activists who stand against the tide and defend the idea of workers unity.
Please try to attend the picket or send letters of protests and phone calls to the Sri Lankan government. Batu and the FBU have already sent protest letters. Raise this serious issue with your shop steward or union rep and try to get official letters sent, but make sure you send a letter or make a phone call yourself.
Thanks to all who have already responded.
P.s. please forward ALL protests to info@socialistparty.net and usp@sltnet.lk
