Welfare cuts + unemployment ... 2+2 = 5?
Pay as you don't earn
The Tories' ambition to lower the welfare bill by 6% is almost certainly going to be undermined by their determination to sack 600,000 public sector workers. Roughly six million households in the UK have a primary or secondary breadwinner employed by the state - you do the math (because I can't.) Either way, George Osborne's sums don't seem to add up. Either pay people to work - they pay tax and have a life - or you end up paying them to sit about indoors eating family-sized bags of crisps on their own and watching Jeremy Kyle.

The Internationalist Communist Tendency consists of (unsurprisingly!) not-for-profit organisations. We have no so-called “professional revolutionaries”, nor paid officials. Our sole funding comes from the subscriptions and donations of members and supporters. Anyone wishing to donate can now do so safely using the Paypal buttons below.
ICT publications are not copyrighted and we only ask that those who reproduce them acknowledge the original source (author and website leftcom.org). Purchasing any of the publications listed (see catalogue) can be done in two ways:
- By emailing us at uk@leftcom.org, us@leftcom.org or ca@leftcom.org and asking for our banking details
- By donating the cost of the publications required via Paypal using the “Donate” buttons
- By cheque made out to "Prometheus Publications" and sending it to the following address: CWO, BM CWO, London, WC1N 3XX
The CWO also offers subscriptions to Revolutionary Perspectives (3 issues) and Aurora (at least 4 issues):
- UK £15 (€18)
- Europe £20 (€24)
- World £25 (€30, $30)
Take out a supporter’s sub by adding £10 (€12) to each sum. This will give you priority mailings of Aurora and other free pamphlets as they are produced.
