    Culture of Resistance

    Socialism on Trial

    Liverpool City Council: 1983 – 1987

    On March 12, 1987, for the first time in history, in spite of massive support shown by the polls and demonstrations of upward of fifty thousand on the streets of Liverpool, five Law Lords upheld the decision of an unelected district auditor who surcharged and expelled from office 47 democratically elected Labour councillors. The 47 Liverpool socialist councillors were faced with imprisonment, bankruptcy, and victimisation.

    From 1983 until their removal the ‘Liverpool 47′ built five thousand houses, created thousands of jobs, opened more nursery schools than any other city and they refused to transfer the burden of Tory government cuts on to the backs of the working people of Liverpool.

    Liverpool’s 47 socialist councillors adopted the slogan of ‘Better to Break the Law than Break the Poor’ which was first used by the jailed councillors of Poplar in 1919. They were the only council who succeeded in extracting extra funding from the then Tory government.

    Because the Liverpool 47 socialist councillors carried out their socialist promises the achievements of that council have been buried in an avalanche of distortion.

    The purpose of this website is to rescue from obscurity the great events and the personalities of those years and to open them to the scrutiny of anyone wishing for a serious examination of this key period in Liverpool’s history.

      Well done. We need reminding of the courage of socialist councillors who stood up against the brutal nature of the Thatcher regime. No doubt as present protests against the cuts gather pace there will be the usual avalanche of lies and distortions from the political elite and their media. What you are doing will be more than just a lesson in history. The example of the Liverpool councillors will help to spur us on – to have the determination, guts and sheer stamina to fight the cuts and, just as importantly, to know that we are clearly on the side of students and working people against a parliament of self-interested millionaires whose only allegiance is to the bankers and financiers that caused this crisis in the first place.

      Bet wishes,

      Ian

    Protest against the cuts, Wednesday 20 October 2010, Luton Town Hall steps, speakers to be advised. Two events this day (12.30 and 6pm) so that we can get as many to the protest as possible despite their different shift and work patterns.

    Please bring banners and anything to make some noise!

    Death by a 1000 cuts!

    Death to the services that saved peoples lives
    Death to the bus that kept a community service
    Death to the meals that were carried on wheels
    Death to the jobs that supported all of this

    Death to the contractors that did their best
    Death to small business and death to the rest
    Death to preventing and investigating crime
    Death to the studies and to Higher Education

    Death to the projects that prevented early
    Death, to the scores and scores of elderly ill
    Death to the drugs that might just have helped
    Death to support for all mental health

    Death to the traffic lights and zebra crossing’s
    Death to the project’s to improve the schools
    Death to retirement but not working long hours
    Death to the environment on which we depend

    Death to the countryside and death on the roads
    Death to the stations and the railways charm
    Death to the high street where the shops have shut
    Death by one thousand thoughtless cuts

    Are you on Facebook yet?

    Thanks

    All sensible, right thinking people must be for what you are doing, but without violence, please! I remember Thatcher’s cuts first time around. I don’t think that our parents/grandparents fought in two world wars to create such an unequal and unjust society. I also think we could take longer to repay the deficit, as the impatience to repay it will cause enormous problems for the vast majority of us. I will share via my Fb and Twitter pages, and do what I can to rally others to the cause.

    if we are to withstand the onslaught of neo-liberalism and the corporate media’s attacks we know that dialogue on its own will result in nothing, we have to combine dialogue with resistance, however, we need a theoretical underpinning to our resistance. Resistance on its own is also not enough.
