WE ALL know that the EU and US are secretly negotiating the major trade deal The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), which means that NHS privatisation will be irreversible if the deal goes through.
The same holds true for education, water and environmental services, as well as for any hope of renationalising the railways.
Under TTIP privatisation is forever. So it’s more than fitting that Bob Crow and Tony Benn adorn the cover of this CD, released as a fundraiser for Trade Unionists Against the EU (TUAEU). Both would be raging against TTIP today if they were with us, that much is sure.
