Our government has become more and more open about their plans for us. Cowen wants to drive down our living standards 12% and has already cut all our wages through the tax levy and slashed the wages of workers in the public sector further through the so called ‘pensions levy’. He openly talks of “four more years of even steeper cuts”.

One of the most visible and courageous forms of this opposition has been the refusal to serve in the Israeli army.
At all levels, the education system is under attack from the present government.
