What Now After The TUC's London Demo?

29-03-2011 13:17

Saturday brought the largest expression of class anger Britain has seen since the Poll Tax, as hundreds of thousands marched through London on the Trades Union Congress-organised march against the government's massive cuts. A significant number also took direct action, showing that they trust neither the TUC nor the Labour Party to fight back against the super-rich on their behalf.

Black Bloc: Useful time to think about it's good and bad points

29-03-2011 12:54

Three texts that came out in America after the Black Bloc at the Republican National Convention a few years ago. Worth reading for some good arguments and counter-arguments within. Post M26 seems like a good time for those in the Black Bloc and those who enjoy it's snake like route of destruction to consider what was good and what was bad in the wider scheme of the day about the bloc.

Video shows how police tricked Fortnum & Mason occupiers into mass false arrest

28-03-2011 19:43

Video shot by Green and Black Cross and released by UK Uncut via The Guardian shows how a Met Chief Inspector lied to occupiers promising they would be let free if they left the building.

#ukuncut #ukunstuck what was the point?

28-03-2011 16:25
