Space Hijackers Mayday Election Battle Bus
04-05-2010 23:01
This Mayday on the Space Hijackers took our anti-election battle bus to the streets of London and the home of government. We've all seen George Galloway and the other cronies charging around in open top buses trying to persuade people to vote for them, but we all know the whole thing is a scam. So we hired our own open top bus, and flew around London giving out an alternate message - SPOIL YOUR BALLOT, REJECT THE LOT OF EM!

A piece by Edinburgh & Glasgow Anarchist Federation groups on the question, "Is it ever OK to not vote?" A version of this was published by the Sunday Herald and is being discussed at LibCom, along with the counter-view by the campaign director of Vote For A Change.

peacestrike.org have set up a tent village in parliament square in the run-up to the election
despite torrential rain, a village of some twenty tents sprung up during the mayday festivities yesterday, and last night warm bedding arrived from the chiswick eco-village along with a rocket fire and other amenities. today, the peace camp has been hard at work constructing a new shelter from the elements, and they have issued a press statement about their aims.
they are calling for people to come and join them in the 'demockracy village', and all are welcome whetehr it be for an hour or for the rest of the week, or longer.
their press statement is as follows:
Statement From The Democracy Village, Parliament Square
We, the concerned citizens of the Democracy Village on Parliament Square, demand on behalf of the majority of people that the war in Afghanistan is ended and the troops are brought home with immediate effect.
The Democracy Village calls all like-minded concerned citizens to come and join us. We are calling a Strike for Peace until our demands are met. We are committed to maintaining an ongoing presence on Parliament Square.
All are welcome to come and stay for a few hours, a day, or a night.
Donations of food and equipment are very welcome. Bring a sleeping bag and tent if you plan to stay.
In this election, no major party has offered the choice to end this pointless war.
VOTE FOR PEACE by coming to the village today.

The streets of East London turn green and gold!

Over 30 merry men and women could be spotted running around the streets of East London last Sunday, spreading the word about the Robin Hood Tax campaign.
Over 30 merry men and women could be spotted running around the streets of East London last Sunday, spreading the word about the Robin Hood Tax campaign.
This gaggle of outlaws were taking part in Oxfam's Robin Hood Tax game, part of the campaign which calls for a tiny tax on banks to raise billions for poverty in the UK and abroad.
Seven groups of bandits could be seen taking on challenges including swapping their goods for gold (well, a Robin Hood hat for some gold shoes!), composing and reciting Robin Hood Raps and much more, all in the name of raising public awareness and support. The event was a resounding success and the public responded very positively to the idea.
Campaigner Katy Wright said: "It was great fun taking part in the challenges which encouraged us to chat to people about the campaign and get them on board. At the end of the hunt I felt we had really raised awareness and enthusiasm for the Robin Hood Tax on the streets of East London as well as having a merry time!"
A big thank you to everyone who took part and to the team at the Rich Mix who let us set up HQ there for the day.

The first Bristol Eco Village, located in St. Werburghs, has been snubbed out before it could properly take seed. But never fear, we have many more sites around the city to choose from and will not surrender so easily.
