Direct Action skill share -- Manchester

Sabotage the War Effort | 23.11.2002 17:13

With war clouds looming again it is our responsibility to stop the British State. We want to prevent it from using the wealth it has stolen from us to bomb our fellow humans in Iraq. Sharing skills is essential if we are to be effective. This event will have a wide variety of participants, from SWP members to anarchists.
