Condemn raids on Anarchist Hq !
Condemn Blair's travesty of Democracy !

Red Star Bulletin:

"The intolerable current situation is degenerating by the day. What remains of a constitution is vanishing as we speak, Blair prances about the countryside side-by-side with the military and resistance groups are selectively but ruthlessly crushed. The appalling raid on the Button Factory in South london has been at least tempered by the news that farmers in Wales are stepping up opposition to the slaughter: near Brecon (Aberhonddu) a group of protesters took to the lanes objecting to the establishing of a mass animal execution site. One man in particular took it further and commandeered an earthdigger, crushing two police vehicles as he went.
If the Blair regime intend to cancel local elections set for May, it stands on the edge of illegality: having done it once on a flimsy pretext, it will be easier next time.
The Mayday Monopoly plan is eminently creative. The plan, (as we understand it from leaflets) to converge on Oxford Circus at 4pm will have a substantial effect, no matter how the police respond. They have, however, warned that they will stage a much more robust response than in recent years and we must be careful. Study a street map and familiarise yourself with the surroundings. To the north west of the station is Finsbury Sq, and the pleasant Hanover Sq is just to the south east. The police may attempt to push protesters from the crossroads into these parks. To the north, on Regent St, is a BBC HQ. The approach to Hanover Sq from the south is wide, but it is uphill. To the south east is Soho and Carnaby Street: if we have to retreat altogether, we may find some degree of support there from the small cafes and sex shop workers. Above all, each group must decide what their actions should be: do not bring anyone with you who is not able to comprehend the nature of the protest: no small children or aging grannies ! "
