Fanatical right-wing gutter rag the Daily Mail ran a piece on Socialist Party London organiser Paul Callanan on 21 June. Its print headline: "They are the lowest of the low."
The "full-time far-left agitator" stands accused of... writing to unions and campaign groups. Paul had invited them to a protest against the Queen's Speech and the Tory minority government.
He wrote "we would like for you to join us and make it a real show of strength. Please also mobilise, bring banners and make as much noise as possible."
Responding to the article, Paul tweeted: "The 'Lowest of the low' eh? Coming from the Daily Mail that really is quite the compliment"!
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.
Inevitably, during the crisis we have not been able to sell the Socialist and raise funds in the ways we normally would.
We therefore urgently appeal to all our viewers to click here to donate to our Fighting Fund.
