For the past month the EDL's youth division have been threatening to unleash a violent demo on Walsall on 3rd March. Richard Johnson the main organiser of the demo and member of the youth division who lives in Rushall, West Midlands, claimed he couldn’t wait to 'smash the dirty curry munchers'. Another member Mart Bradders who refers to the local Muslim community as 'dirty pakies' threatened to bring pigs blood. Johnson claimed he'd ideally like 300 people to show up but expected the numbers to be more like 60-100. The actual turnout must have been a big disappointment for him then.

Today in Birmingham, around 50 people gathered to demonstrate against the government’s workfare schemes, which see people forced to work for up to 6 months in order to keep their benefits for hugely profitable companies. This was part of a national day of action, organised by Boycott Workfare, which saw over 40 towns and cities around the UK take to the high street to tell companies to leave the schemes.

Homeowners: the gravediggers of capital
In the previous issue of SHIFT, we launched a series of articles discussing the relevancy of lifestyle choices for radical politics. In the first article from the latest issue (Issue 14) to go online , TOM FOX continues the series with a critical look at housing cooperatives, arguing that networks such as Radical Routes have all too often tended to miss what exactly it is - or what could be - that's radical about coops in general, and housing coops in particular.

Occupation starts as camp ends
Occupy Birmingham will be leaving the park behind Symphony Hall today. The occupiers have had a permanent presence in Birmingham City centre since October 15th, first in Victoria Square and latterly in the park on Cambridge Street. The camp is the longest occupation in England, it might be dismantling but this does not end the activities of Occupy, far from it. This is not the beginning of the end, but is the end of the beginning phase of Occupy.

Birmingham Food Not Bombs would like to issue a statement of solidarity to all groups and people around the world who have been arrested for sharing food with the hungry. There’s been a worrying trend recently in America of new laws being introduced to prevent free food being given out to the hungry which has resulted in many people being arrested and held for days in prison. There has been a call out for people around the world to consider sharing free meals in celebration of our right to food on Sunday 1st April. Food is a right not a privilege.
