Welcome to The Leftists

Hello and welcome to The Leftists. Today is the 26th March 2011 and many of you will be down in London protesting against the most savage public spending cuts Britain has seen in the best part of a century. Let us know how you spent the day. Some of The Leftists bloggers will be posting their own accounts and pictures of the March 26th protests soon.

The Leftists has been set up to provide news articles and essays, as well as (political) arts (fiction, art, music, etc) on a wide variety of issues, and from a wide variety of leftist perspectives. Our contributors are Labourites, Greens, anti-capitalists of various degrees and affiliations, religious/spiritual people, atheists, even some bleeding LibDems. Some have stood in elections. Others are journalists, activists or artists. Some are just very opinionated people.

We aim to create short bio pages for all the contributors on here, as well as hopefully create a community of free-thinking, social-minded people who want to tackle the world's problems.
