The Anarchist Bloc was headed up by a massive “Reclaim May Day – Solidarity is Strength” banner held by members of the newly-formed Northeast Anarchist Group, and there were also many black, and red & black flags and a variety of other banners and placards. A sound system mounted on a bike rode alongside the bloc, playing an International Workers' Day-themed mix of music.

2 Days til Brighton Mayday

28-04-2011 13:47

fuck the royal wedding... come down to Brighton...

Our lives are under attack.
Our future is being sacrificed to increase the power of an elite.

The bankers’ crisis is being used as an excuse to push through a far-right agenda of vicious cuts – cuts which will hurt the poorest and line the pockets of the rich. The NHS, Education and Welfare systems are being stripped back while the bankers are being paid million pound bonuses.

Their only answer to the disaster is more of the same, capitalism with the gloves off. More wars, more ecological devastation and we’re being asked to pay for it.

We are being robbed blind – it’s time to reclaim what is ours.

Mass party & protest. 30th April 2011. Central Brighton.

Anti-nuclear activists from Cheshire and Wrexham marked the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster today with a stall at the Cross in Chester. Information on the stall included leaflets about Chernobyl, nuclear power generally, government plans for the geological disposal (burying in the ground) of nuclear waste and the links between the civilian nuclear power industry and the military use of nuclear technology, which takes the form of indiscriminate weapons of mass destruction, a threat to the existence of all life on this planet.
