Anticapitalists Target Bankers In Vauxhall Election Challenge

We sent out this press release this morning. Finally the official campaign is underway!

New initiative to stand in Vauxhall at General Election

Local teaching assistant Jeremy Drinkall is candidate

Anticapitalists say take over the banks, take back the bailout billions

Drinkall:

“Spend it on 1/3 of all Vauxhall council dwellings that are officially not decent.
Spend it on 51% of local children officially in poverty”

Jeremy Drinkall – a teaching assistant at a local school - today announced his candidacy in the coming General Election. He will stand in Vauxhall on the Anticapitalist ticket.

Anticapitalist activists have already spent several weekends canvassing local council estates in support of his challenge. Scores of traditional Labour voters on the doorstep sick of Brown and his pro-bank, pro-war stance have already pledged support for the Anticapitalists.

The new movement says the Government has spent more than £1 trillion on the bank bailout and is now expecting working class people to pay for it in job cuts, pay freezes, reductions in benefits, and cuts in college places, services and pension entitlements.

The Anticapitalists want to take over the banks, tax the rich, pull the troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and spend the money instead on creating three million new jobs, a million new council houses, a massive repair and improve programme for council flats and a £9 an hour minimum wage.

Anticapitalist candidate Jeremy Drinkall said:

“The government has given £1 trillion of our money to the millionaire bankers.
Yet more than half of the children in Vauxhall are officially living in poverty, and one in every three council homes fails to meet official standards of decency.
The Anticapitalists want to take over the banks and take back the trillion. We are standing because we want to spend this huge wealth on jobs, homes, hospitals and schools.”
