When education secretary Ed Balls announced the abolition of Key Stage 3 SATs examinations for 14 year olds this month virtually no one came to their defence.

330

8

nov 08

 

The circumstances surrounding the economy are obvious (Socialist Review, October 2008). The political elite and the opulent bourgeoisie are coming up with a myriad of excuses.

Thousands of bus workers across London have been part of a defiant fight against the privatised bus companies.
The roots of the militancy can be traced back to November 2006 when Metroline drivers took on the employers and won after two days of strike action. It proved that drivers didn't need to be afraid of standing up to their employers. It was like a burst of fresh air that was long overdue.
