Comrades Please sit down, take a celebratory box of Cuban cigars and a bottle of Cuban Rum, so we may Celebrate Cuban Liberation Day together 🇨🇺 ! As Comrade Castro said “If you smoke, you can smoke them; if you have any friends who smoke, you can share with them; but the best thing you can do with this box of cigars is give them to your enemy”, we do have donation boxes for the Yankees, Zionists and Fascist at the front.

Oh, and I have also been informed I should to wish you a happy new year, and a good Juche 113, but lets be honest, we are all here for Cuban Liberation day right?
Yup. A few days ago a woman contacted the press about her stay in a safe house. She escaped an abusive husband to stay there the bill got to 3000 euro for a couple of weeks. You either are rich and pay it, are desperate and pay it or you keep staying with the abuser. It’s messed up.
Tragic. It’s the same elsewhere, I fear. But if you started providing affordable safe homes or properly subsidising housing for domestic abuse, it might eat into landlords’ and banks’ profits (it wouldn’t, actually, as it would just provide another way of filtering public money into private hands, but this would piss off the petite bourgeois). There are some good women’s centres but they’re so underfunded they can only do so much.
