TWO ARRESTS ON PEACEFUL GLASGOW AGAINST ATOS PROTEST
22 Feb, Glasgow – Two supporters of Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! (Glasgow) were today violently arrested, Friday 22 February, shortly after 2pm outside the Royal Bank of Scotland on Gordon Street, Glasgow city centre. They were taking part in a peaceful rolling picket organised by Glasgow Against ATOS, a campaign committed to opposing the French multinational ATOS and the government’s attack on welfare.
Both those arrested were taken to Stewart Street police station and were released at approximately 18:30. They are facing charges of liberating a prisoner from custody, resisting arrest and using a megaphone. Court date is set for Friday 22 March, for which solidarity protests are being organised. In an outrageous attack on democratic rights, their bail conditions include a ban on attending demonstrations in Glasgow city centre. This is the real reason behind these arrests: to disrupt and destroy political activity.

Angel Versetti whose sudden disappearance from the United Kingdom in 2011 raised several investigations in the country, was apparently arrested, imprisoned and removed from the United Kingdom with a minimum ban of 10 years. While the question on his exile from Russia remains unanswered, his actions in Britain attest to the true nature of his deporation from the country.Propaganda for the 2013 Bristol anarchist bookfair available now

In face of increasing austerity and crisis, the question of a General Strike has again been placed on the agenda of many workers in many countries.

Not content with pursuing the kind of tax scams that are causing the whole-scale destruction of public services here in the UK, corporate tax cheats AMAZON have been filmed employing Nazi thugs to intimidate its foreign temp workers in Germany.An ARD channel TV documentary showed AMAZON employing paramilitary guards from a security company named after Nazi leader Rudolph HESS, some wearing clothing from a company called Thor Steinar, whose products are (ironically) banned from sale on Amazon because of Thor Steinar's well-known Nazi connections & use of Nazi imagery!
