Info for action - Conservative Party Conference protest - Oct 3rd, 12pm, central Birmingham. I'm posting this in a personal capacity, so sorry if it overlaps any information released by people more involved with the organization of the bloc.
I am not in any way connected to the 'Direct action bloc' being called for the conservative party conference on Oct 3rd, but I was inspired by the callout and want to provide a bit more info on getting there, as a powerful anarchist/anti-authoritarian presence would really help shake things up! - We should descend on Birmingham in our thousands!!
The group calling the protest is the 'Right to Work' campaign. They are putting on dozens of coaches from all over the country - full info, including complete coach listings and a number to ring with transport questions can be found at www.righttowork.org.uk.
Also, we should think about organising our own transport. Coaches are around £500 and 17 seater minivans are generally around £120 for the day.
We should organize meetings and posters in our local areas to get as many radicals to the demo as possible.
On a different note, there will be the same old lefty suspects there, but this could be the start of a massive campaign to roll back the tory cuts and fight against their agenda, but it will only work if we can all resist infighting for a while. During this campaign, I think we need to think about who the bigger enemy is, rich tory scum, or a few trot paper sellers.
There is a real buzz about this demo - it is shaping up to be big and angry. A mass showing of anarchists (and I know we can do it - 5,000 of us turned up to G20, and 2,000 to last years EDO mayday) could turn the buzz into a bang!
