By cutting out the utterly compromised middle men and women in this way, working people come face to face with their ultimate enemy - huge corporations and the capitalist state.

On Wednesday 30th November, some people sick of the soul-destroying
rhythms of daily life, took to the streets of Hackney. Bored by the
