Why should we give money when 30% is appropriated to the "OS: 120" group to pissup? Who are they ? Can anybody join ? Do they meat regulary ? Organise non heirarchicaly ? Do they have some open and public aims and objectives ? Or is this just a private members club with a bit more radical chic than gatecrasher ?

Free and autonomous spaces are cool - is this a free space?

The lebanese and palestinian groups are good causes. But thats no need to piggy back publicity on them, if you are just scamming.

Fair question but...

are you just trying to stir trouble in a public forum?

What they are describing is normal policy for party squats, infact they often take a 50% cut.

It isn't made clear whether the new building is being run as a social centre or what connection, if any, it has to Matilda or the people who ran it. It could be that some new crew are pulling a fast one by implying a connection and sorting themselves out with K and special brew on their cut of the part.
However, it's more likely that peopel from Matilda have opened a new building which will soon be used as a new social centre and that the 30% cut will help fund sorting out the building.

Instead of putting doubts in peoples heads without any evidence either way, could you not have asked around to find out the score?
