Frack Free Upton (Chester). Call-out for support at New Protection Camp

06-04-2014 08:13

An invitation to join the Upton camp

In the early hours of Saturday morning, a group of people committed to protecting the environment from extreme energy extraction set up camp on Duttons Lane, Upton, near Chester in the field where Dart Energy plans to test drill for coal bed methane. The original planning permission for test drilling expired last year, but Dart took steps to renew it and looks set to attempt test drilling here. Our job is to stop them. For more on the growing resistance to Dart Energy's activities in the Welsh and English Marches, Nottingham, Falkirk... see these previous articles [ 1 | 2 | 3 ].

Solidarity, support and supplies needed. The Camp is about halfway along Duttons Lane, Upton, a turning off the A41, and the council seems to have just erected a new street sign to help you find it. Postcode is CH2 2PE.

Day of Protest against ATOS & DWP. Report from Wrexham

01-04-2014 12:33

Protest at Wrexham Jobcentre, home of ATOS work capability assessments

Today, 1 April, has been called as a further day of action against ATOS and the Department for Work and Pensions. I decided to lend my support to the call for an end to the notorious work capability assessments that force disabled people to seek jobs that don't exist, and to the genocidal government policy of cutting off benefits and leaving claimants without the means of survival.

Waking up to Fracking and Associated Evils in Wrexham and Everywhere

31-03-2014 15:24

First view of the Farndon test drilling site across the fields

Fracking and its associated evils hadn't exactly escaped my attention, but it's only these past two weeks - with test drilling for coal bed methane happening 10 miles from my home - that I've made time to find out more and join in the resistance. This article is a summary of a few things I've learned, plus links, hopefully useful for anyone else in a similar position. I know it's not comprehensive - use it as a starting point. There are numerous extreme energy sites and potential sites around the country that all need our attention and resistance.

Oppose Cuts, Don't Pay Council Tax!

27-03-2014 18:55

Thanks to people who sent messages of support to me in prison and the way forward.

I was sentenced to 28 days in prison for refusing to pay Council Tax as a protest against the public spending cuts which, incidentally, are affecting both inmates and staff inside the prisons.  Both groups gave me a warm welcome. A special thanks to my cellmate prisoner Steve Williams who looked after me.  After 14 days I have been released. Thanks to all who sent me messages of support.

In Nottingham City at present there are over 20,000 people in areas with Council Tax payments, around one in six of those eligible.  It is much the same in other areas.  Already there is a financial crisis in local government and the more of us who refuse to pay up the worse it will become.

More of us should refuse to pay so as to force the Coalition Government to respond.  Twenty five years ago millions of people refusing to pay Poll Tax forced a change in government policy and we can do the same again. You don't have to go to prison.  It's taken Nottingham City Council a year to get me inside.  By not paying until you are threatened with commital to prison will strangle the cashflow to the Labour councillor parasites.

It is high time for us to move from the defensive to the offensive in the fight against the cuts. People must face up to the fact that if you do anything which really hurts the capitalist state then it will hit back at you.  All the time we stick to useless protests such as petitions and passive demos the ca[italist class and their state functionaries don't care a toss.  It is also true that in any real fightback it will be the poorest, most disadvantaged people who will be hit hardest.  It has ever been such.  No pain, no gain.

IF YOU DON't KICK IT, IT WON'T FAll!
