BABC | 08.12.2014 08:37 | Analysis | History | Social Struggles | Wales | World

Coming at you live and direct from east-central Bristol, just 13 days before the 2015 British General Election & local elections, we are pleased to invite you to the 7th Bristol Anarchist Bookfair – and there wont be a single lying, corrupt, austerity-enforcing, media-spinning politician in sight.

Saturday 25th April 2015, from 10.30am – 6pm, at Trinity Centre, Trinity Rd, Bristol BS2 0NW.



Never Mind The Ballots…It’s The 7th Bristol Anarchist Bookfair!

Coming at you live and direct from east-central Bristol, just 13 days before the 2015 British General Election & local elections, we are pleased to invite you to the 7th Bristol Anarchist Bookfair – and there wont be a single lying, corrupt, austerity-enforcing, media-spinning politician in sight.

Saturday 25th April 2015, from 10.30am – 6pm, at Trinity Centre, Trinity Rd, Bristol BS2 0NW.
Forms for booking stalls & proposing meetings/workshops will be available shortly.

Seven years on from our first Bookfair, 7 years on from the start of the global financial meltdown, after 7 years of austerity cuts and the rich getting richer, we are still here struggling and acting, providing alternatives and creating a new world based on co-operation, total equality, and freedom – a new world we carry in our hearts and dreams.

We’ll bring you probably Bristol’s largest, free, open to the public, political event in the month before the election. As just a small part of a Britain-wide anarchist intervention into the key issues & events surrounding the election, we may well be a part of the largest electoral block – the Non-Voters. Because just as you know, whoever the public votes for – the government always gets in.

The Bookfair will include – 2 halls filled with stalls from local campaigns & groups to national anarchist distros & publishers; workshops & meetings to discuss & debate the key issues; the Radical History Zone down the road at Hydra Bookshop; activities in Trinity’s outdoor permaculture green space; an outdoor Soap-Box for Ranters; a quality vegan cafe; an indoor kids space; and a few surprises too!

The Bookfair is a space for you, radicals, independent thinkers and those pissed off with & alienated from the political system, to come together and think outside the box. To discuss, network, laugh, cry and share the ideas, inspirations and strategies to resist and thrive. Leaders, politicians and representatives are never going to create the future we want. A better world is in our hearts – but it is only through considered self-organised action, together, that we can make it a reality.

In solidarity!
Bristol Anarchist Bookfair Collective

Not a single politician in sight? You're not inviting the mayor then this time?

But the usual undercover cop, you know the one we have to pretend doesn't have a seat on the organising group.

He's not been back to try the coffee since 2013. Don't think the Mayor will be back somehow, unless he's been replaced by one from the Class War Party.

Undercover cop? We've been re-educating the organising collective, and sent all the dodgy ones off to join Left Unity! We may have a new outdoor game this year though...

See you on the 25 April 2015.

Another safe anarchist bookfair, the same old faces telling us that 'change' is just around the courner while deciding which book most agrees with their view of the world.

Get out on the streets and DO SOMETHING !

We don't have or want any of your former and present cop infiltrators so why not do us all a favour and shut the fuck up ?

Infiltration

The cop infiltrator into the Bristol Anarchist Bookfair Collective is now so well known to so many I doubt he gets a lot of useful info these days ! Rather like the infamous "Sally" who did so much damage to SHAC or "Flash Stone" and his many years at the heart of the UK eco scene these people do some damage but never truly damage groups in the long term.

We always emerge stronger and more commited despite their best efforts. Bristol Anarchist Bookfair is s till with us, still spreading the word and still recruting new people to the cause of Anarchism, the cop may be involved but he's not achieving very much is he ?

Bizzy person
