Click at the link below for a video of the student riots today in downtown Barcelona after the massive demonstration that took place in the morning. 60,000 students and university workers took to the streets to protest against the cuts and the privatisation of the country's education.

West Green Common, outside Downhills School, Philip Lane, N15 4AB (where Philip Lane meets West Green Road).

Resembling a moving kettle, hemmed in and crushed, the march moved excruciatingly slow from Malet Street via Trafalgar Square down The Strand. At a road block costruction with a strange blue wall-like barrier on Fleet Street, the march was directed up Fetter Lane.

It stopped for a long time, whether this was due to the police horses and several lines of officers in the front of the march, who had…

Super excited copper telling wandering people that they would be "comitting offences if they do not follow the route". What kind of offence is going for a walk? It wasn't even an attempt to break off the march, just random people walking about very unexcitedly. What did they tell those cops was going to happen today, that he gets so worked up?

Many anarchists, especially those on the internet, are concerned about what to wear for the N9 anarchist bloc. Most internet anarchists see protests as a fashion challenge and can spend days debating what they should or shoudn’t wear before deciding not to go to a demonstration anyway. To make things easier N9 have drawn up a catwalk list of essential items all anarchists, indeed all proteste…

National demonstration and walkout against cuts to education

After a period of political lull, students are mobilizing again for their first big action this year – a national demonstration-cum-walkout in London on November 9. The march is focused against cuts to the education sector, and is meant to involve not just students but education sector workers as well.

Teachers are familiar with reporting the badly-behaved (moot point as to what difference it makes when they do...) - so it's entertaining to read in today's Guardian that the police want us, in our communities, dobbing those around us in if we think they're anarchists. This is all part of a creeping system of social "telling on" - universities have been told to report extremists for some time…

Allover Allday

Recently, I have been asked several times by Italian friends and comrades to talk about the British student movement. I must confess that their questions always made me feel slightly embarrassed.

At first, I tried to forget about this uncomfortable feeling, talking about the rise of a new civic participation, which had been lacking in this country since the 1980s, with the brief exception of th…

There are massive cuts to the school building programme so we've set up a UKuncut classroom in a bank - Lloyds TSB on Oxford Street!

Derivatives. Fractional reserves. Toxic assets. Sub-prime mortgages. Banking is complicated. Even the bankers who crashed the global economy into the ground didn't really understand it. And with massive Tory cuts coming to school building programmes, it's going …
