2 Days til Brighton Mayday
28-04-2011 13:47
fuck the royal wedding... come down to Brighton...Our lives are under attack.
Our future is being sacrificed to increase the power of an elite.
The bankers’ crisis is being used as an excuse to push through a far-right agenda of vicious cuts – cuts which will hurt the poorest and line the pockets of the rich. The NHS, Education and Welfare systems are being stripped back while the bankers are being paid million pound bonuses.
Their only answer to the disaster is more of the same, capitalism with the gloves off. More wars, more ecological devastation and we’re being asked to pay for it.
We are being robbed blind – it’s time to reclaim what is ours.
Mass party & protest. 30th April 2011. Central Brighton.
G20 inquest jury "free to consider verdict of lawful killing"
28-04-2011 12:22
jury outAnother Flashpoint?
Many from Bristol were involved in the g20 protest back in april 2009. Indeed, some have recived compensation for the violence of the police that day.
Latest news from the inquest on the death of ian tomlinson is that the coroner has allowed the jury to consider a verdict of unlawful killing (murder by the state). he also cast doubt on the veracity of the police's favourite coroner Dr "dodgy" freddy patel.
Historically,in these inquests such as these, under obvious pressure from the state - especially in deaths in custody/at the hands of the police, the coroner disallows the unlawful killing verdict. So, fair play to Peter Thornton for withstanding, I'm sure serious peer pressure in this particular case.

So that was it. We had ‘our’ moment, ‘our’ J18. March 26th was the day that the emerging anti-austerity movement had been waiting for, and there were certainly parallels (both political and aesthetic) to the heydays of the ‘movement of movements’, as little as 10 years ago, when black-clad anarchists turned their backs on the marches of global justice coalitions to smash the windows of McDonald’s, Starbucks and luxury hotels.Off Market Squat Still Open

New Film about Stokes Croft Riot - not just riot porn - interviews with locals
28-04-2011 08:57
This is a roughcut of a short film looking at what happened in Stokes Croft Bristol at the beginning of the bank holiday. We have decided to put it up as a public roughcut as there does not seem to be an independent (i.e. non mainstream) account of what happened and why it happened (and it will take a few days to finish it).
