00:00Oh
00:30Ideas for a social justice future for everybody in our society. Thank you for inviting me to come along today
00:40There's a few things I want to say but I won't take two ideas for a social justice future for everybody in our society
00:47Thank you for inviting me to come along today
00:51There's a few things I want to say but I won't take two left is normal size of their eyes
00:56Eyes bulging out of their heads because they are so bereft of
01:02any nutrition water or medicine
01:07And as they die if they're anywhere near the border fence in Gaza
01:14They can look across that fence
01:17And they can see
01:20Food water medicine in plenty
01:23It's a deliberate act of using starvation of children as an act of war by Israel
01:31It is disgraceful and disgusting
01:33Our support has to be that the Palestinian people should be able to live in peace and justice
01:41New generation into political and trade union activity
01:47And what she's asked me to point out is, and Lindsay's going to talk about this a bit more
01:53That it's now formed itself into national women's action for positive change
01:59That's a legacy of the women against hate closures
02:02After the 40th anniversary of the minus one
02:04The idea is to inspire, empower and educate women to become more active as organisers
02:14If we don't ensure that the entirety of our movement is active and involved
02:20Then we're weakening ourselves and weakening opportunities for the future
02:24So if you want to join this organisation, I hope you do
02:27Then do it in the memory of Anne Scargill and so many others that gave so much
02:32But do it to make sure the next generation
02:35Who caused the wars in the first place
02:37The governments, the imperialists and the arms country
02:40So, just to conclude, I'd like to say this
02:43When we try to protest and demonstrate
02:46They try to repress us
02:48This is what they did to the miners
02:50People here know better than me
02:52The repression that went on in the pit villages 40 years ago
02:56They know the surveillance and it will be much, much worse surveillance now
03:01With all the equipment that they have
03:03We know that they used everything in their power to defeat the miners
03:08But we are still here and we are still fighting 40 years on
03:13And that is the important thing
03:15And with the Palestine movement, they have tried to repress us from word one
03:19From day one
03:20They've said we're hate marches
03:22They say we're anti-Semitic
03:24These are complete lies
03:26They are complete lies
03:28But they still do it
03:29And on a demonstration in January
03:32They arrested the head of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign
03:35And our Stop the Wars Chief Steward, Chris Ninam
03:39They were being caught in July
03:41And we hope everyone will send them solidarity
03:44And show them support
