Our party will have a book stall all day at this year’s Burston school strike rally.

Talking to us in person is the best way to understand out what makes our approach to politics different from the rest of the self-identifying ‘left’.

We also have a wide range of literature on every topic of essential importance to the working class.

In particular, pick up a copy of our essential guide to the present situation: Manifesto for the Crisis: Class Against Class.

The strike, which ran from 1914 through to 1939, was led by schoolchildren in response to the wrongful dismissal of two teachers at the village of Burston’s school. Tom Higson, one of the teachers, was sacked in retaliation for organising local agricultural labourers.

The teachers would go on to set up a school ran on donations which effectively replaced education in the village through the duration of the strike.
