Meeting will be on Thursday...
Please call to recieve the message at that day with the details...

hi arrow,

what are you talking about?

where is this project? what country / city / area?

what do you need?

how can people help or get involed?

Stu. you are obviously a bit green on the squatting front.
Read the posting again.
There's a telephone number, and URL.

oi, h! looked at weblink and failed to see where this venture is supposed to be (ie. city/town), so lay off stu.
for anyone who might be interested, it looks as though this is another hippy type thing. you know, the type off thing with lots of omming, yoghurt weaving etc..
lets all hold hands to make the world a better place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, man, it's still better than, like building massive bombs to screw the environment with multinational pharmaceuticals for big fatcat business, actually...Who's skinning up?

Stu, my yoga teacher says: 'Omming is better than umming and arrhing, man'. He also says:' Dont tell the cops where ya gunna squat, because they wont be welcoming ya with a cup a green tea. Ommmmmmm'

exactly. If more people ommed instead of wreaking global destruction and raping the mother universe there'd be less interstellar psychic misery and more...omming. and hummus.

As they didn't say, you can assume it'll be London. :(

The Londoncentricity of us Londoners (well, ex-Londoner) including those of us claiming to have a radical agenda is a mirror of the centralisation of the state. It should not need saying that this is really negative and counter productive.

Its like other oppressions (eg sexism, racism, classism) where the dominant is assumed to be the default, and the oppressed is "other", deviant, needing a label. (bell hooks excellent "ain't i a woman" brought my issues with this to my attention.)

The deviant, needing an adjective (eg women's prison, women's football etc or witness the popular interchangeability of "English" and "British" which wouldn't happen with "Scottish", "Welsh" or even sometimes (not enough...) with people from Yorkshire) is made to feel shit, and internalises it.

It's really noticeable with accents. "Standard English" is what the upper-middle classes (not even, really, the ruling classes, though I don't claim to be a linguist, just seems that way) in London speak. Everyone else has an accent, and is portrayed as uneducated, idiocyncratic, etc.

Rant over.

If we:
(1) want to involve people not already "part of the scene" (clique, closed group of self satisfied exclusive radicals, as you will...) we need to be more explicitly welcoming and not assume anybody worthwhile will have prior knowledge. And we need to do this consciously, just like we have to work on our other socially constructed fuck-ups like all of our deep rooted classism, racism, able bodied-ism, sexism etc and not assume that because we have started thinking with a radical critique that that makes us fully reconstructed and above reproach.

(2) want to challenge the centralism of the state we need to be explicitly decentralised in our relationships with the whole planet, but especially those within the same political state. And personally I think we should be more understanding of "nationalism" (and I don't mean of the flag waving, identifying with "our own ruling class" variety) and have a better developed critique. Lots of national liberation struggles are obviously deserving of our support (Palestine, Chiapas, Bougainville(sp?)) and its like needing to have women only spaces, or organising as blacks, its a process that is needed by those who have been oppressed.

good idea. gets a few more useless hippies off the street,
(assuming they can understand any of whats written on that website)

This will be in London - we've just recieved call from outside or edges of London what mean that a space is not making any borders.


Verrry goood
:-)

Stu., no body in particular, cynic, joe. Why so many different names?

The space is totally multidimensional and in tune with the vibrations of those not in londoncentric circles. By cooperation and assistance of the many we will transend the limits of the time and space cages to open healing potential to the social.

Those able to involve should do so. Open your mind.

I am besides myself with dispair!

Save us from the hippies and the cynics of the world.

just joking, i was impersonating H. above. I am not a hippist really. they are infact related to Anarchos.
hush hush, mum is the word, bob is your aunty and i like putting on frocks too.

Our most humble achievements with together our friends old and new have provided the new space and we shall now be open from days just a few as we prepare and cleaning the project space. all helps welcome. call for detail.
