Socialism - Independence - Internationalism

The SSP is Scotland’s socialist party that stands for the transformation of society. We fight to replace capitalism with socialism; an economic system based on social need and environmental protection rather than private profit and ecological destruction.

Bank robberies: Thatcher gang reasponsible

Wanted poster

This economic crisis, in which millions will suffer, is a direct result of the economic policies of Labour, but pioneered before them by Margaret Thatcher’s Tory Party.
We were told that industries like shipbuilding and steel were old fashioned, obsolete.
Replacing them would be new industries; the bankers would build call centres and everyone would own shares.
The Tories and Labour deregulated the financial markets and allowed them to build mountains of debt into a casino economy while they paid themselves multi million pound bonuses.
But they bet everything on black and now it's come up red... and they want the tax payers to bail them out!

Well here's the news; the people are not for paying.

Financial Crisis: can't pay, won't pay !

The mad cap casino economy is now cutting swathes through jobs, threatening peoples’ homes and seeing unimaginable sums of public money poured into global money markets.
