01-05-2011 23:43

There was a highly visible and lively Anarchist Bloc on the Tyne and Wear TUC May Day March in Newcastle on Saturday 30th April. Elsewhere on the march, interesting banners and placards were present from a wide range of groups.

The Anarchist Bloc was headed up by a massive “Reclaim May Day – Solidarity is Strength” banner held by members of the newly-formed Northeast Anarchist Group, and there were also many black, and red & black flags and a variety of other banners and placards. A sound system mounted on a bike rode alongside the bloc, playing an International Workers' Day-themed mix of music. Northeast Anarchist Group also distributed leaflets to shoppers and passers-by along the march route.

STOP THESE ATTACKS ON OUR RIGHT TO PROTEST
Protest outside the hearing of Fortnum & Mason anti-cuts occupiers
MONDAY 9th MAY, 9am
CITY WESTMINSTER COURT
70 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 2AX
Called by Defend The Right To Protest, in support of the Fortnum145 defendants campaign - www.fortnum145.org - details at end, below

On 26 March, around 140 people were arrested and detained for taking part in the occupation of Fortnum & Mason to highlight tax avoidance. Their protest was peaceful, as documented by eyewitness reports and video footage. They were told by police that they were free to leave – but as soon as the protestors left the building they were arrested. The occupiers now face charges of aggravated trespass and the possibility of a prison sentence.

London Mayday 2011 - A celebration of our strength // Anarchist Public Assembly

30-04-2011 07:51

In the winter of 2010 the nation's school and university students showed that it isn't only opinion polls or media corporations that can set the agenda, but also the mass actions of the people.

What was considered possible, realistic and justifiable was changed: the students had lost their battle but started a war

US Struggles To Contain 'Arab Spring'

26-04-2011 11:27

We're nearly into May, and the Arab uprisings which have shaken US imperialism since the start of the year show no sign of running out of steam. But why would they?

Needs which remain unfulfilled in every case.
