- Showing working class SOLIDARITY to Tommy and working class resistance to the murdoch empire
- Me, Myself, and I
- Solidarity have called on the Crown Office to explain the millions of pounds of public money allocated to the pursuit of the partys' Co-Convenor, Tommy Sheridan. Lothian and Borders Police have been investigating the case for nearly two years with, at times, dozens of officers working full-time. Solidarity Press Spokesperson, Hugh Kerr, said:
"The question of why this investigation was launched, and the resources allocated to it, has never been answered. This is a waste of public money and a distraction of Police resources that cannot be justified."
Sheridan and his partner Gail are due to appear at a preliminary hearing on Monday 13 July at the High Court in Edinburgh at 10.00am. Kerr called on Solidarity members to join him in a show of solidarity at the court:
"All socialists, trade unionists and activists should rally against this attack on our comrades. Tommy Sheridan has never failed to stand by the people in struggle and it's time for us to get behind him"

- No money to spare but..
- The resources allocated to this investigation thus far, both in terms of public money and police manpower, constitutes grounds for a public inquiry. Reports have suggested that over £1million pounds will have been spent by the time this investigation reaches its end. This is an amount that far exceeds the £750, 000 spent on the recent 'cash for peerages' investigation into corruption at the heart of the British Government. As for manpower, recent news reports have stated that over twenty officers have been working on this investigation full time for over a year. Given that Lothian and Borders Police currently holds the onerous distinction of the worst record of any police force in the country when it comes to successfully investigating cases involving rape, the public has a right to know how they can afford such an allocation of manpower into matters arising from a civil defamation case.
- *Fair Cop?
- Further, in 2006, whilst Tommy Sheridan was still a sitting MSP, a listening device was found in his car. Surely a public which has been kept fully informed of developments in relation to the ongoing investigation of Tommy Sheridan for perjury should likewise be informed as to why no such developments have taken place with regard to the investigation of a listening device being planted in the car of a sitting MSP?
- *Intimidation of the Sheridans
- Questions need to be asked. For example: has the police investigation into the listening device involved Sweeney-style arrests with unmarked police cars skidding into car parks at high speed, as Tommy Sheridan was subjected to? Has it involved home invasions involving nine police officers holding a woman and her infant child hostage while they ransacked her home, as Tommy Sheridan's wife and child were forced to endure?
- *The state and the media combine
- Has anyone been questioned in relation to this matter? More specifically, has the editor of the News of The World, Bob Bird, been questioned? After all, this is the editor of the newspaper that was successfully sued for defamation by Tommy Sheridan in 2006. Moreover, last year a high ranking journalist working for this particular newspaper was sent to prison for illegally bugging the private phone conversations of various members of the so-called Royal Family.
- *Working class hero's VS SCABS
- Tommy Sheridan and his witnesses have absolutely nothing to fear from any investigation into matters arising from his original defamation case. Throughout they have conducted themselves with integrity and scrupulous honesty. We do, however, question the basis upon which this investigation has been initiated and conducted.
Those who betrayed their class will be seen to be what we know they are...class traitors. - *Who's behind it?
- Rupert Murdoch already wields, through his various newspapers and media outlets, an egregious and corrupting influence over the body politic in this country. We demand a public inquiry into the possibility that this influence has now stretched to the workings of our police and legal establishment.

Should Solidarity publicly back Tommys role in Big Brother?
- Yes
- No
- Its a tough one
-
If the socialist left neva split, we would have came 3rd in Glasgow east!! What does that tell us
- Doesn't matter ssp chose their side i.e. the sun
- Ordinary members of both sides must unite and dicate to both partys heirarchy
- Divisions are to deep to unite
- In time solidarity will be dominant left party and the ssp will be meaningless
- In time ssp will be dominant and solidarity will be meaningless

Bolivian Socialism At Work
Bolivia takes over BP subsidiary
Evo Morales says he wants to put wealth in the hands of Bolivians
Bolivian President Evo Morales has announced the takeover of a subsidiary of British oil company BP, as part of his nationalisation campaign.
Mr Morales told May Day crowds that he had ordered troops and the state oil company to take over Air BP, which supplies jet fuel across the country.
He has already nationalised oil and gas reserves to redistribute wealth to Bolivia's indigenous majority.
A BP spokesman said the company "had agreed a handover of our operations".
"We were surprised by today's takeover process. But we will continue to support the handover," the spokesman said in London.
Bolivian Energy Minister Oscar Coca said Air BP would be compensated for the nationalisation. A valuation would be carried out within 120 days, he said.
Air BP owns 12 jet fuel stations at airstrips and airports in Bolivia. Its 90 local employees would keep their jobs, the energy minister said.
Since he took office in 2006, Mr Morales has taken control of several foreign-owned energy, mining and telecommunications companies.

Prisme Occupation Update
The occupation of the Prisme packaging factory in Dundee has entered its 3rd week and is still going strong.
12 workers, some of whom had worked at Prisme for 15 years were sacked without notice on Wednesday 4th March. They were told that although they were entitled to redundancy payments, accrued holiday pay and wages due in lieu they would not be getting a penny because the company had no assets.
The workers took the courageous decision to occupy the factory and have been there ever since.

More Evidence Of Vendetta Against Tommy!
DTS Press Release 12th Feb 2009
Following the revelations published in respected legal magazine "The Firm", The Defend Tommy Sheridan campaign calls on the Justice Minister to seek answers from the Lord Advocate. According the magazine's "exclusive", the Crown Office came under "incredible pressure" from Police to proceed with a court case they didnt have confidence in.
The article in the Firm is very serious and questions the independence of the Crown Office. Lothian and Borders Police are obviously very serious about taking this case despite it's weaknesses and are willing to change protocol and procedures to get their way.
The Crown Office MUST step up and stand them down in the interests of justice.
Defend Tommy Sheridan Spokesperson, Jim Monaghan said:
"The Police have not been objective in this from the start, in my opinion. The personal and vindictive teatment of Gail Sheridan in particular has shown how zealous they are in this issue. We cannot have the tail wagging the dog on matters of jutsice and we are calling on the Justice Minister to launch an inquiry."

Howes Family6 days agoBrian Howes with his pregnant wife Kerry and their daughters.By Craig Robertson
A SCOTS mum facing extradition to the US still doesn’t know when her fate will be decided — despite being due to give birth in just 10 days.
Mum-of-four Kerry Howes, who has been diagnosed with severe depression and post traumatic stress disorder, appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh on Friday but a hearing date was not set.
It means the 31-year-old faces a home birth without knowing if she will soon be taken 5000 miles away and thrown into jail.
Please add support on your site.
Thank you,
Kerry Howes. -

This family faces being totally destroyed in a matter of weeks. They have commited NO crime in Scotland yet they could be extradited to Arizona on some trumped up conspiracy charge which they have not even been charged with. They face being sent to the infamous Sheriff Joe Aprios prisons. Icela...
