Philippines’ elections: same shitty popularity politics, different people.

The Dutch media have started with spreading propaganda against Traoré

There is a page in history when the worker first fought back When the might of exploitation at last began to crack In farm and field and factory, in workshop, mine and mill A flame was lit, a beacon bright, that flame is burning still

Connolly was there, Connolly was there Bold, brave, undaunted, James Connolly was there

William Martin Murphy and his Dublin millionaires Tried bribery and corruption, hypocrisy and prayers To smash the Transport Union, their scabs they did enlist But all their graft was shattered by a scarlet iron fist

For Connolly was there, Connolly was there Bold, brave, undaunted, James Connolly was there

When the bosses tried to sweat the lads way down in Glasgow’s Clyde A voice like rolling thunder, soon shook them in their stride In Liverpool and Belfast where the workers lived in hell James Connoly rose and gave them hope, the truth to you i’ll tell

And Connolly was there, Connolly was there Bold, brave, undaunted, James Connolly was there

Oh Irishmen the day will come when workers one and all Will rise up from their bended knees and rally to the call Throw out the bosses’ tyranny and shout from shore to shore For a working man’s republic and for freedom evermore

Connolly will be there, Connolly will be there Bold, brave, undaunted, James Connolly will be there

I hope you all have a nice week :D
