mmmh this event seems symbolic of the left, mired in the past and missing out on what is going on. The miners strike, important as it was, was twenty years ago. Where is the looking to the future? As France kick off and people around the UK fight against the destruction of jobs, people, plants and animals and getting persecuted for it, as Blair & co bring in ever more repressive laws, people should be out fighting those bottles than looking back to 'glory days' of the 'working class' struggle.

I also dislike the association of anarchism with what was essentially a struggle lead by authoritarian left against the right. Anarchism is a much broader church than this and people should not fetishize the working class in the way events as this do.

As an anarchist and an environmentalist, I find it hard also to sympathise with a body of people, as much as I have sympathy with the oppression they suffered, when today I campaign against the use of fossil fuels and their destruction of the environment.

Pedro - Obviously you are not real. Try saying that shite in former mining villages, and I'd be surprised if you came out unscathed. As for Artie Shaw, actually I don't give a toos what a few environmental youngsters think, I'm more concerened with the millions for whom the miners strike and class oppression was and is a lived reality. You haven't got a clue how these people think. SO, everybody is invited to this Doncaster event on Mayday, and I'm sure we'll be planning practical politics which stand a chance of getting many many more people involved/interested - despite the scepticism of inexperienced youth.
