As we look forwards to the 11th anniversary of the founding of Kebele, we hope that readers & activists will go out and set up their own radical centre, in their part of town. Bristol needs not one, but many, long-term radical social centres, if we are to truly build an alternative to the dominance of the capitalist consumer culture and its destructive nature. <br/><br/>To celebrate our 11 years of dogged, often creative, activity and resistance, we’ve having a party – on 8 December. It’ll be a late one, with bands, dj’s, PA’s, cabaret, café. Full details to follow shortly. <br/> 2006-11-14T00:03+02:00 2006-11-14T00:03:00+00:00 Culture Free Spaces Promoted UK West Country World Kebeleian en Text text/html; charset=UTF-8 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/11/355942.html Today protestors halted National Grid's work on the new 115 mile gas pipeline running from Milford Haven to Gloucestershire. 2006-11-13T21:19+02:00 2006-11-13T21:19:00+00:00 Climate Chaos Ecology Promoted Social Struggles UK West Country crack pipe en Text text/html; charset=UTF-8 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/11/355934.html A section of the LNG pipeline has been blockaded at Trebanos, in the Swansea Valley by over a dozen activists.
