On September the 30th, New Labour’s annual conference starts in Brighton. Surrounded by a security cordon and hundreds of cops, the government will make decisions behind closed doors. Those who oppose their agenda of creeping privatisation, the criminalisation of asylum seekers, genetic engineering and the outlawing of protest are not invited to join their party. The corporate nightmare of globalisation, to which New Labour is now an unambiguous friend, tolerates no opposition, and those on the receiving end of these policies will be kept away at all costs.

All over the world, the representatives of capitalism meet in exclusion zones, always protected by fences and the police: Seattle in November ’99, Prague in September 2000, Quebec in April 2001, Genoa in July 2001…But each time, demonstrators have taken to the streets to confront their power. At the same time as the conference in Brighton, Washington DC will be targeted by thousands of protesters joining forces against the IMF and the World Bank. Just like them, we have decided to take direct action to ensure that Labour’s conference does not go as smoothly as they want it to.

Although there may be some argument inside the conference, we all know it’s going to be a stitch up, with the leadership always firmly in charge. We have no illusions about lobbying the Labour Party, hoping that through this fake radicalism we can increase our membership lists. We can leave that job to the Lefties…

Although Blair called anti-capitalist demonstrators an ‘anarchist travelling circus’, this conference is the real media circus –an empty display neatly orchestrated by the leadership to look good on TV. For our part, we’re fed up with these farce, designed only to sell Labour to their corporate sponsors.
