Mayday in the UK?! What happened?! A dozen people having a picnic in Manchester?! A few art students playing cricket in St James Park?! 30 anarcho-leftists marching with turkish stalinists?!

Mayday in the UK?! What happened?! A dozen people having a picnic in Manchester?! A few art students playing cricket in St James Park?! 30 anarcho-leftists marching with turkish stalinists?!

Is this 1998 or 2004!!!

While the wombles and other anarchists manage to form a bloc against the Garda in Dublin and make anarchist politics visible, it seems like the rest of the movement [if you can call it that] seems to watering down its politics. Where's the excitement and inspiration of the street actions gone in the UK? why aren't the national anarchist groups doing anything apart from their boring newsletters? Why, who, when!
