The issue 22 special is all about International Solidarity, and gives space to local groups to tell you in their own words WHAT they do, and WHY they do it. Columbia Solidarity Campaign, Kiptik, Bristol Links with Nicaragua, Easton Cowgirls and Cowboys, Euskalinfo, International Prisoner Solidarity, Bristol Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Find out why these good people give precious time and effort to make a positive difference, and find out how you can make a difference too!
The international theme continues with an in-depth examination of Christiana, an autonomous region of Denmark where anarchist principles of self-help and true-community are made flesh, which has allowed tens of thousands to live free for over 20 years.
Talking of the ‘A’ word, there’s also a revealing interview with Stuart Christie, veteran of anti-fascist direct action in Spain and elsewhere. Put it this way – he’s still not pulling any punches!
More important than ever to Bristle, however, is the backyard: this tragic, inspiring, frustrating, energising city we call home, along with the other ‘pockets of resistance’ around the South West. Planes, trains and buses, Royce Rolls and government roll-overs, Kebele’s new plans, boycotts and strikes, a woman’s right, Lovelock’s shite – it’s all here along with much more!
Add to that all the usual news and reviews, and you’ve got the best way to spend £1.20 (apart from a dozen free range for the next time Blair’s in town!)
BRISTLE IS NOT A PART OF ENGLAND,
IT’S A PART OF THE WORLD!
