Remembering the Battle of Saltley Gate

On November 30th last year millions of workers went on strike across the country
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/birmingham/2011/12/489831.html, the biggest general strike since 1926. Earlier in the year there was a similar one day mass strike on June 30th and there have been smaller strikes happing throughout the year https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/birmingham/2012/01/491367.html, http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/birmingham/2011/12/490171.html, http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/06/480579.html, all fighting against cuts and austerity measures. February 10th will be the 40th anniversary of the Battle of Saltley Gate, an event which important lessons and inspiration can be taken for anyone fighting austerity and cuts today. Then as now a Conservative government were resolute on destroying the working class, who respond with the first national coal strike since 1926. Crucially they were supported by other workers, in Birmingham 30,000 engineers walked out in a solidarity strike. 15,000 of these engineers then marched to join 2000 striking miners who were picketing Saltley coke depot (the last remaining open fuel depot). This forced the police, who had kept the gates open until this point, to close the gates. This was the straw that broke the camels back, around the country tens of thousands of miners had been involved in strikes, shutting down coal depots, docks and even power stations. But the closure of Saltley though solidarity action untimely led to the collapse of the government.
On the qestion of the Denial of the Armenian Genocide.

French government has just voted in favour of a law which criminalises the denial of the Armenian Genocide. Fourty thousand Turks have marched in Paris attempting to challenge this development. This article exposes the French Government's sheer hipocracy in shamelessly exploiting the suffering of the Armenian Nation. It also exposes the Turkish appologists of the Armenian Genocide and their national chauvinist agendas.Market solution is the crash - prospects for March 2012 Euro settlement?

My research is trying to find out what art works like Jeremy Deller's 'The Battle of Orgreave' - mean to the people who were directly affected by the events portrayed and I would very much like to reach them to invite them to the free screening on 28 Jan in Leeds.Leeds Antifascist Film Festival Programme

The murder of Stephen Lawrence & institutional racism - an overview
05-01-2012 13:18
The deeper exploration of the facts surrounding the murder of Stephen Lawrence & the expose of institutional racism in the UK, most particularly the revelation that whilst the original prosecuting officers were knee deep in association with criminal activity with a father of one of the accused (David Norris), one can also question how at the time of the non-investigation into Stephen Lawrence's murder, a public trial into the death of young David Norris' uncle also called David Norris who was a police informant which was happening at the same time may have threatened to expose criminal cartels operating in 3 specialist police squads operating in south-east - one of which included association with gangster Kenneth Noye (who is/was also a freemason).2011 Video montage

At Southwark Notes website, we have been writing a lot about the gentrification of Southwark in London for over ten years. As part of our active research project, we have spent some time looking at the role of art, artists and notion of the 'creative class' as it fits into the different models of gentrification.
