| the Casa Club in Liverpool |
KOREAN solidarity
activists met in Liverpool last weekend to hear a report on the current
situation in Korea and plan future work in the new year.
Comrades
met in the Casa Club, a community bar and venue in the heart of Liverpool’s
university district, to hear Dermot Hudson of the Korean Friendship Association
(KFA) talk about the imperialist threat to Democratic Korea, and the Korean
people’s decisive steps to deter US imperialism and its lackeys from launching
another war in the Korean peninsula.
This
was followed by some questions and discussion. An exhibition of Democratic
Korea and KFA publications was displayed, and some KFA literature was distributed.
The
Casa Club was born during the epic struggle of the Liverpool dockers who were
sacked when they refused to cross a picket line in the 1990s.
The
dockers’ struggle began in September 1995 and ended in a one-sided settlement
in February 1998. But some of the dockers, who had been paid £130,000 for
writing a drama about the dispute for Channel Four, used the money to buy a
building to set up a communal hub, not-for-profit bar and an advice centre.
It
is now a charitable trust that welcomes labour movement use of its rooms and
facilities.
