We are in a housing emergency, with Will McMahon This week we are talking to Will McMahon, director of action on empty homes about their day of action on 9 October. 1) Over 100,000 families are living in Temporary Accommodation while over half a million homes have no permanent resident. 2) The wrong kind of housing is being built across the country - they are unaffordable to anyone on an average income to either rent or buy. These new builds are also being sold off-plan and ending up as Airbnb short lets, second homes or buy to leave empty wealth investments with no permanent residents. 3) Communities are being broken up as council estates that could be refurbished are being left to decline, to be replaced by yet more unaffordable new build. 4) The Climate emergency demands refurbishment, not demolition. Retrofitting 270,000 long term empty homes and council estates can help solve the climate crisis. On October 9th there are street actions highlighting all of these issues and a national rally calling for empty homes to be used by those living in temporary and overcrowded accommodation and to meet the climate emergency.https://www.actiononemptyhomes.org/news/day-of-action-october-9th #ActionOnEmptyHomes #ResistanceTV #ChrisWilliamson #WillMcMahon #Housing #Council #ClimateEmergency #EmptyHomes

&#34;A hard-left, metropolitan liberal&#34; - Nigel Farage Man Behaving Dadly Aka Simon Harris This week on Resistance TVChris Williamson talks with Simon Harris aka Man Behaving Dadly we talk about his fundraising and trolling of the hard right. He runs more blogs and Facebook pages than he cares to mention but Southend News Network and Man Behaving dadly are just two to note. One of his latest fundraisers &#34;Help Are Own First&#34; and its description “I have started this fundraiser because at the moment too many people seem to have forgotten that WE SHOULD BE HELPING ARE OWN FIRST!! “All money will be used to help ARE OWN.” has helped raise over £32,000 up to now. It certainly appears to be from the Ukip line of thinking. But all was not as it seemed.When visitors scrolled down a little further to the note section they discovered what the fundraiser was truly all about. “For the purposes of this appeal ‘ARE OWN’ refers explicitly to Afghan families who are currently being resettled in the United Kingdom, This is because a lot of them risked their lives to help our armed forces and government officials with translation, interpreting and other tasks during the last twenty years, and to be honest if they didn’t, the United Kingdom may have had the teeniest, tiniest, weeniest role to play in this whole s***show.” Simon has previously trolled Farage by fundraising for the RLNI to name a hovercraft after him, following Farage&#39;s claims about the charity. you can donate here https://gofund.me/366f98aa

This weeks Resistance TV is a little different. Chris and Sian are unavailable this week so we are re running a Resistance TV classic from our early days. Off the back of last weeks Resistance TV Sian mentioned a personal hero of her&#39;s being Jane McAlevey. In this video Jane McAlevey talks about organising and the power of winning. Last weeks Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDdkq0LLlDE Jane McAlevey is an author, trade union &amp; community organiser, who has, over 30 years, developed a tried and tested method for successful organising in the work place, electioneering and community campaigns. Now, more than ever, we need to develop our skills from activists, into effective organisers to challenge the big issues that we are facing. With looming austerity, rent arrears, job losses, food poverty, homelessness etc. Jane shows us, in this video, how we can overcome barriers to WIN! #JaneMcalevey #TradeUnion #Organising #Winning #Power

Crimes of the Financial System | The Elephant in the room ep.5 Following the financial crisis that began in 2007, it became clear that banks were engaged in a huge range of criminal and unethical activities – mis-selling, rigging markets, money laundering, tax evasion, sub-prime mortgages, ripping off customers, and fraud on a massive scale. These crimes have not gone away, and the activities of the banks are as fraudulent as ever.

MMT: Fiat Socialism for the 21st Century with Carlos García Hernández ‘Fiat socialism’ would enable an open and prosperous society governed by the principles of modern monetary theory (MMT). A society without unemployment or poverty, in which everybody had a decent job (either in the private sector, or in the public sector) allowing people to fulfil all their basic needs and coordinate their working and private life because of reasonable time schedules. A society in where public services, education and health access were of the highest quality, and in which the level of prices remain stable. This isn&#39;t just a socialist pipedream.

The Illusion of Democracy Most people in Britain and the US believe that they live in a democracy. However, it is now so easy for rich and powerful people to manipulate politics that ordinary people have little influence over political decisions. On the most important issues, such as war or corporate power, there is little difference between the two major parties. Much decision-making takes place behind-the-scenes. Power is too centralised, there is too much secrecy and almost no accountability.

How governments and the media help corporations get away with their crimes ﻿The mainstream media give the impression that corporate crime is rare. In fact, we are surrounded by big companies committing crime on a daily basis. We have created a system that gives rich rewards to companies, executives and shareholders when companies commit serious crimes. Mostly, they are never caught or prosecuted. If an individual commits a crime, they can be locked up for many years. When a company is caught committing the same crimes, the usual penalty is a fine.

Richard famously spoke the truth to the Israeli ambassador in committee at the Irish Parliament. Max is the son of Sidney Blumenthal, former aide to President Bill Clinton, he started Grayzone in 2019 to talk more openly about the situation in the middle East.

Max is the son of Sidney Blumenthal, former aide to President Bill Clinton, he started Grayzone in 2019 to talk more openly about the situation in the middle East.

Resistance TV | Extinction Rebellion &#34;The Shell 7&#34; The XR activists who took on oil giant Shell – and won Six Extinction Rebellion activists were acquitted in a landmark verdict at Southwark Crown Court on the 24/4/21 The jury delivered its not guilty verdict for each defendant, despite Judge Perrins ruling that five of the six had no defence under the law. The trial, for criminal damage to the Shell HQ building in London’s Waterloo in April 2019, which could have led to a maximum five year prison sentence and / or a £10k fine each, is XR’s second only case to be heard before a jury. The verdict is being hailed as a major victory for climate campaigners everywhere facing increasing criminalisation. Simon Bramwell, 49, cofounder of Extinction Rebellion, said: “It is a significant victory for the truth of these times, when despite the letter of the law, jurors can clearly see that a broken window is a just response to a breaking world.” “How fitting that this comes after Earth Day and the two year anniversary of the death of environmental lawyer Polly Higgins, founder of the Stop Ecocide campaign, to whom we dedicated our non violent direct action against Shell. With today’s verdict, it is clear who the real climate criminals are in the climate and ecological emergency.

The scourge of racism is still an issue in the 21st century and one of the worst manifestations of racism is in the apartheid state of Israel. Solidarity with the Palestinian cause is therefore intrinsic to the fight against racism. As Nelson Mandela said: &#34;We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.”

Miscarriages of Justice: The Joint Enterprise conundrum With Guests Gloria Morrison: Co-founder of JENGbA and Becky Clarke: Senior Lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University In 2015 the Supreme Court determined that the law of joint enterprise had been wrongly interpreted for 30 years, yet people convicted under that discredited law are still languishing in prison. It was used to convict marginalised and vulnerable defendants predominately from BAME and working-class communities resulting in numerous miscarriages of justice. With little or no actual evidence of involvement against them, many of these defendants were given mandatory life sentences for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It carries out blackmail, mass surveillance and systematic discrimination against Palestinians. In 2014, a group of whistleblowers detailed how the unit spies on Palestinian civilians living under Israeli military occupation. Many people are asking why Sir Keir Starmer wants an ex-Israeli spy running Labour’s social media output, and what signal this sends to the Palestinian people, whose land is occupied by a brutal apartheid regime.
