TO MAKE POVERTY HISTORY WE NEED TO MAKE THE MIDDLE CLASS HISTORY
Chief executive Ann Allen has told 17 community organisations it supports - which employ 100 people - there will be no more funding from April. Jobs are now at risk as the groups have only a month to find alternative cash.
The branch secretary for trade union Unite, said it is feared 20 of the 35 staff directly employed by the agency also face redundancy.
He said: "Management has not done enough to minimise redundancies or the wider impact on the community."
Well fuck me, no surprise there then is there, it has always been the fact That Burngreave New Deal for Communities has been shafting the community, there might be nice new gardens, hiding the poverty inside dose not ease that poverty.
Neither dose the wholesale demolition, of Woodside, years on the land stays empty, what an utter crass waist of our monies Woodside was, it was refurbished at cost of millions then demolished because the crime and other community problems was a blight, instead of working with the community Burngreave New Deal for Communities has worked against it.
It is fine for the likes of the branch secretary for trade union Unite to bleat on how the "Management has not done enough to minimise redundancies or the wider impact on the community." UNITE are the same union who have shafted Sacked Cowley Workers see

The likes of Burngreave New Deal for Communities, and The Union Unite, have never been there for The Working Class and once again sadly we are proven right, the only good thing about this is that The Gravy Train has crashed, sadly those who will be impacted more are the people of Pitsmoor, as it should be known as not the coprate re branding of Burngreve, we can only hope we see the same anger as we have seen from the wildcat strikes, to the sacking of workers at Cowley, and that the nice new lamppost are placed to a proper use, for the hanging from of so called community leaders, and Union bureaucrats we can but dream:

The only economic effect NDC had on the area was inflationary, through the huge number of offices that they rented.
Oh, and some fairy lights.

not sure about the lynching policy

......public lynching of community leaders and trade unionists...... hmm interesting policy. By the way, come the time how do we actually tell yous apart from the fascists? Just so we know like - I'm afraid proof of being working class won't be enough cos I've heard that just occasionally, fascists have been known to be working class too.
Although I guess having had the misfortune to be brought up middle-class I'll be first against the wall anyway so won't be around to ask. Better work on me accent I suppose.
