Mexico Marches Against Peña Nieto, Return of PRI
Despite uncertainty and doubt by some who questioned the motives behind the anonymous organizers of this event, an estimated 46,000 turned out to march against Enrique Peña Nieto and the return of the PRI in Mexico City. Several thousand more marched in over 16 other cities throughout Mexico.

Today is the fortieth anniversary of the key event in the 1972 miner’s strike, The Battle of Saltley Gate. Here’s my not so objective description of what happened
The Nationl Union of Mineworkers had called their first nationwide strike since 1926, and shut down coal production. They picketed and closed all the pits and fuel depots - apart from one. The SCUM police had been doing their SCAB duty and kept coke production going at the last fuel depot in the country, a place called Saltley Gate. 2000 miners had been fighting the police for a week, trying their best to stop production at Saltley Gate, but the pigs had held on.
On February 10th 1972, the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers declared a strike in solidarity with the miners, and in an act of militant working class solidarity, 15,000 of them stormed down to Saltley Gate, ROUTED the filth and shut the fucking thing down.
Later, when the Midland Car delivery workers also came out on strike, Tory prime minister Edward Heath had to declare a state of national emergency. His government was fucked.
The Battle of Saltley Gate stands as a constant reminder that when enough of us choose to fight, there isn’t a police force in the world that’s a match for us.
