Pink, Black, Pirate: Taking Stock of Rostock

08-07-2007 15:04

"Black resistance and pink blockades go hand in hand, and pink clowns were defended by black anarchists when the police roughed them up during the actions and demonstrations: pink and black are complementary and not substitutes, like many, including myself, were led to believe in the past few years."

In Denial Over Terrorism

07-07-2007 08:26

WE NEED TO KNOW WHY

The failed carbombs in the Haymarket on Fri. 29 June and the attempted suicide attack on Glasgow airport on Sat. 30 June have demonstrated the continuing threat of al-Qaeda-type violence in Britain. While much remains confusing or unknown to the public, at the time of writing some insiders believe ‘the leaders of the cell were from overseas but that local “home-grown” extremists may have helped.’(1)

Pride 2007. Pitiful counter demos.

06-07-2007 00:49

Another massive mobilisation by the enormous NF.
As always, this years Pride demo attracted the unwelcome attention of society's more unpleasant elements. The protests were so pathetic they would hardly be worth mentioning had they not been so fucking comical.

Birmingham City Council's Transport Department Scuttles Balsall Heath Carnival's Procession

05-07-2007 23:38

original route of the street procession
This Saturday, July 7th, was going to be the 31st annual street procession for Balsall Heath's Carnival in South Birmingham. For over thirty years Balsall Heath Carnival has led an unhindered street procession winding through the streets of the area ending up in Pickwick Park. This year, however, Birmingham City Council's bureaucrats in the Transportation Department have informed the organisers that they would have to pay exorbitant fees for the street procession to go ahead. The Transportation Department is now demanding the organisers pay for the closure of roads and road diversions, which the organisers along with experienced volunteers performed without incident themselves.

This year's carnival theme is the 'Fairy Tale of Balsall Heath', but the intervention of the Council's Transport Department just over a week before the event, has meant that the street procession looks set to turn into a pumpkin. This year's Balsall Heath Carnival street procession has had to be altered at the last minute. Rather than having the annual street procession with floats and children dressed in Carnival costumes walking through the streets, the procession will now have to walk down Balsall Heath's narrow pavements without it's colourful carnival floats.

Pride 2007 photos and report.

05-07-2007 23:07

25 years out and proud.
This years Gay Pride saw one of the biggest turnouts ever despite two factors that would have all but destroyed other events.

Firstly the less than efficient al-Quaida wannabe bombers planted two ‘devices’ on the route of the march two days before. This could have led the Police to cancel the procession or a least reroute it through a less glamorous part of town. Then there was the rain that tipped down by the bucket full from beginning to end. Fortunately the LGBT community and their supporters are not so easily put off proving yet again that by comparison heterosexuals just don’t know how to party.

British Airways Shame London Pride

05-07-2007 14:09

A very wet Saturday and security concerns after the failed car bombs failed to damped the spirits of London Pride 2007, and neither did the pathetic little protests by the National Front and their brethren from the Christian Right. Beer and broll'ies were the order of the day, with the pink pound ensuring plenty of both flowed through the damp streets of London.

Urgent Action for British resident in Guantánamo Jamil El-Banna

05-07-2007 12:02

Time is running out for North London resident Jamil El-Banna: the Americans have found him innocent and are prepared to release him BUT if the British government does not act fast and allow him to return to his family in the UK, he will be returned to almost certain detention and inhumane treatment in Jordan, his country of origin.

Statement of Solidarity: Free John Bowden

05-07-2007 10:44

If it is already pathetic that the state cries "terrorists!" when it is reminded of anarchism, then it is too much too bear in the case of John Bowden, a long-term prisoner sitting in isolation.
