Morning Star Appeal


Readers and supporters of the Star launched a massive internet campaign today in response to an urgent appeal for £75,000 by Christmas.
An overwhelming £15,541 was received in the first day, but there is still a long way to go. Assistant editor Richard Bagley said:
"The response has been absolutely staggering in such a short space of time. Everyone here has been buoyed by the tremendous support that has been shown for the only left daily in the country." But he warned, "We've got a long way to go yet."
He urged readers and supporters to keep up the momentum in every possible arena to raise funds.

Western Media - Unfair and Untrue


A western country prides itself around its privately owned media enterprises, it’s ‘freedom of speech’ and sees other countries practising state owned media as ‘un-democratic’ or ‘having no freedom’ - this can be no further from the truth.

Our freedom of speech is in fact the words of a corrupt business man whose enterprises intend to win over and manipulate public opinion. For example, in the 1980’s the Daily Mail reported an increase in black stabbings in order to try and get the peoples' backing for changes to our immigration control. The Sun 2002-onwards supported all efforts of the US and UK government in their operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. 2011 London riots are passed off as a result of ‘a sick pocket of our society’ rather than investigating the real issue of social and material deprivation and absolute poverty.
