The World War Against the Poor
Cathy McCormack long term anti-poverty campaigner from Easterhouse Glasgow and author of ‘The Wee Yellow Butterfly’ exposes the war against the poor during a series of conversations with other activist and academic experts that are fighting back in the front line of this war and trying to save our planet and its people.
First Conversation: http://www.mixcloud.com/CathyMcCormack/
Cathy’s first guest is Dan Glass a young anti-climate change activist who was nominated as one of Britain’s most effective green activists and notoriously famous for gluing himself to Gordon Brown.  Dan was involved in setting up the organisations ‘Plane Stupid’ and So We Stand. Dan talks about the direct action which he and his buddies took to stop co/2 emissions at their source which resulted in them being arrested twice and put on trial.  He also reveals of how the under-cover police cop Mark Kennedy who infiltrated their organisation resulted in their second conviction being rendered un- safe. ………..

Second Conversation: http://www.mixcloud.com/CathyMcCormack/
Cathy’s second guest is Professor David Fryer a Community Critical Psychologist and world expert on unemployment. David is currently Head of Research at the Australian Institute of Psychology and Professor Extraordinarius at the University of South Africa.  David gives a fascinating insight into how unemployment is created by our governments to keep down inflation and the price of labour.  Even more shocking is that all the propaganda aimed at the poor and unemployed is meant to be both painful and hurtful and to brainwash the wider public into thinking that the unemployed are lazy scroungers.
