Acomodation in ESF

manuel | 07.10.2004 11:07 | European Social Forum

I was asking few days ago about acomodattion and i didnt get an answer. We are a group around 200 people from Spain and we are really exceptic about this problem. How you can start to sell acreditations and give a promisse of free acomodation and stay on kaos?. What are you gonna do with the thousands of people that will go to London for the ESF? Will you take part with the police on squat eviction cases?
PLEASE TELL SOMTHING ABOUT ACOMODATION TO INTERNATIONAL DELAGATIONS

all you will here from the SWP/GLA/Socialist Action (the people who own the london esf), is silence. They have not made, nor were they ever going to make, provison for the "tens of thousands of people coming to london for the esf". This is "another world" they think possible.

I understand that Beyond ESF ( and Autonomous Spaces ) have squat/free etc. accomodation. I must point out that this is not the 'official' ESF though some groups are half-in half-out.

Beyond The ESF is 5 days and Nights of Anti-Authoritarian Ideas and action - I cannot call the London ESF anti-authoritarian as it is run by a hierarchy that is co-opting/trying to coopt anti-capitalist movements and include the usual suspects such as the Greater London Authority ( also at the Leaders in Business conference), the SWP and the over-inflated NGOs and professional politicians that will not speak to the hoi pollois unless they need fundraisers, cannon-fodder and skivvies ( hello Ms Hudson ).

Let's cut the crap - do we want another world free from the abuses of the capitalist mafia?

- this is not "another meeting is possible" nor "another bunch of leaders is possible" nor "another bunch of social-climbing yuppies in the charity sector is possible" nor "another business opportunity is possible", nor " another £40,000 website is possible" - that might have provided some acommodation, eh?

Speaking of GLA expenditure - public transport costs will be going up to pay for the Olympics bid. Who's fucking Olympics. Not the peoples that's for sure. £8.6M advertising on the tube. He has just given his mates a whacking payrise ( Mr Jaspers ( also very probably at the ESF is now on £110,000+ year )Anyone have a breakdown of ESF expenditure?

Next time the Metropolitan Police bash you at a demo remmember Ken Livingstone is on THEIR side. He is always calling for tougher policing etc. They are not pro-squatting.

Which side of the fence are you on. Make a stand or just forget it. This is not a lifestyle choice. This is not a consumer product.

Don't try and put Spanish people off from coming to the ESF. They want to come, they should be encouraged.

Is there nobody who knows?

07.10.2004 12:42

I read the first post that this person made, and the string of rants about the GLA/SWP, noe of which answered his concern about accommodation. I guess that's why he's posted something again. CAN ANYBODY SAY IF THERE IS ACCOMMODATION AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE COMING TO THE OFFICIAL/UNOFFICIAL/BEYOND/WHATEVER-THE-FUCK ESF EVENTS? Please post this information here and elsewhere as soon as you can, and spare us the lectures about Ken.

all people who have applied to Beyond ESF for accomoodation have got it. We are in the process of trying to accomodate (& feed & entertain all for free) everyone who comes to the Beyond ESF event. These people will naturally be a priority.

We fully understand people who come to london during esf need accomodation. We have work our bollocks off making it a reality.

Anyone coming to the Beyond ESF event who needs accomodation email -  autospaces@yahoo.co.uk

Manuel - another solution

07.10.2004 13:58

Manuel

The "Autonomous Spaces" people have been trying to find buildings/squats to accomodate as many people as they can.

Help will be needed to make these buildings function: to prepare them, find food, cook, clean - and perhaps defend them during the time of the social forum.

Email > with information about the size of your group and when you will arrive, and every effort will be made to find somewhere.

I hope that helps you a bit

you can stay at the dome

08.10.2004 12:07

you will be pleased to hear that u can stay at the millennium dome. it can accommodate 5,000 people. it funny because i used to ask people to sign petitions against building the dome. long live the dome.

ps a. you can eat your sectrian words.people like u make me sick.

jo


hmm logistics

08.10.2004 14:07

1. okay 5,000 people paying £10 each is £50,0000 to hire the dome for 2 nights.
2. ONLY 5,000 people. The other thousands of people who are coming will be accomodated exactly where? In jo's house perhaps?

You inbred party hacks make me laugh, you don't give a fuck about people do you, just the 'event'. Your 'event'. The europeans, the translators, the ngo's are all fucking sick of you & there supposed to be on your side!!!

To our spanish friends, i repeat what has been said: camp out on the grounds of alexandra palace. Better still storm the fucking place & make that your home for the 2 days. Just watch the party hacks call the riot police in to have you expelled. Again is this 'another world' the owners of the esf seek to create?

storm the palace
