Newport and Valleys Communist Party

"We are all in this together" said Prime Minister David Cameron – and so far working people have been faced with cutbacks to pay for a deficit created by the bankers.

The Con-Dem government wants to privatise the NHS and destroy our public services. We just don't want to keep our public services, we want better services. We say stop imperialist wars and abolish poverty. We call for free education, free health care, a massive house building and renovation programme.

We campaign for public ownership and a planned economy.We call for the redistribution of wealth in the interests of humanity not a priveleged big business class. We call for support for workers in struggle and stand against racism, sexism and fascism.

Fight against institutional racism, raids and deportations

Organise to stop the attacks against migrant workers and people suspected of being ‘illegal’ immigrants. Wales is not exempt from barbarous assaults on migrant workers. Immigration raids take place on a regular basis. Border agency officials are intimidating, arresting, imprisoning and deporting members of our communities. Don’t give in to the lies about Black and Asian workers, supporting racist policies will allow the right wing to develop and practices methods of control and oppression that will be applied to everybody in society.

Say no to racism and fascism.

LETTER TO STOP BANK CLOSURE

HSBC CUSTOMERS IN BLAENAVON AND SURROUNDING AREAS MAY BE INTERESTED TO KNOW THE FOLLOWING.

IN 2011 THE HSBC CHAIRMAN DOUGLAS FLINT TOLD THE TREASURY SELECT COMMITTEE ON BANKING THE FOLLOWING:

"OUR BONUS POT FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES WILL BE FOR 2011 IN THE REGION OF £1 BILLION".

(REUTERS 02/02/11)

AS AN HSBC CUSTOMER WHO USES THE BLAENAVON BRANCH, I TOGETHER WITH MANY OTHERS, THE ELDERLY, UNEMPLOYED, DISABLED, WORKING PEOPLE AND THE SELF EMPLOYED etc WILL BE UNABLE TO ACCESS MONEY THAT I HAVE IN THE BANK.

YOU KNOW THE USUAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO SUFFER NOW HAVE THE DELIGHT OF HAVING TO TRAVEL TO EITHER PONTYPOOL, BRNYMAWR OR ABERGAVENY TO VISIT THE HSBC.

IN FACT...

FREE ACCESS TO YOUR WAGES OR BENEFITS ARE A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT. PEOPLE AFTER MAY THIS YEAR, WHO HAVE TRANSPORT DIFFICULTIES YOU'VE GUESSED IT - THE SICK, VERY OLD, THE SELF EMPLOYED, WORKERS AND STUDENTS ETC, WILL HAVE BE UNABLE TO ACCESS THEIR MONEY.

THIS IN A TOWN WITH OVER 6,300 PEOPLE, A LARGE SURROUNDING CATCHMENT AREA AND WORLD HERITAGE STATUS! BUT ALAS AFTER MAY NO BANK FACILITIES FOR THOSE RESIDENTS/TOURISTS OR VISITORS TO GET MONEY TO SPEND IN IT.

NICE ONE HSBC!

I'M SO GLAD THAT THE HSBC EXECUTIVES ARE SHARING A £1 BILLION "BONUS", ALL PAID FOR BY PEOPLE IN PLACES LIKE BLAENAVON/FORGESIDE/VARTEG/GARNDIFFAITH. SO MUCH FOR THE WORLD'S "LOCAL BANK".
