This is the new location of our camp (see map). We are camped in the fields to the left of the building marked on the map. The best point of entry to the land on which we are camped is via the rugby pitch opposite the public toilets.
Please come along to the camp to visit, or even better stay. At the moment we are looking to get some guerilla gardening going. The camp could also do with savo…

'There's an anarchist living next door!' Breach of human rights row as anti-terror police tell residents to report them along with Islamic fundamentalists

Every few years, anarchists are deemed scary again, the media goes into hysterical overdrive and policing becomes more repressive. It is a pattern we have seen repeated several times over the years.
However, the news briefing from Project Griffin, issued each week from Chief Inspector Nick Smith and his team at the 'Westminster Counter Terrorism Focus Desk',
advising "any information relating to …
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…
I doubt many people have heard of Project Griffin. It is a joint initiative between the City of London Police and the Metropolitan Police, set up in 2004 and based at the City Police's HQ, which has spread its network to police forces around the country and seeks to "advise and familiarise managers, security officers and employees of large public and private sector organisations across the ca…
In February the Newsnight economics editor Paul Mason very succinctly laid out the radically different nature of recent popular uprisings across North Africa, the Middle East and Europe compared to earlier political movements, and the economic and sociological reasons behind it. This incisive blogpost rang true for many of those involved in those social movements, articulating, as it did, a new se…

Hundreds of Libyans demonstrated opposite Downing Street following the air strikes that Moammar Gaddafi ordered in Tripoli, the Libyan Capital with Human Rights Watch claiming at least 233 dead. London, UK, 22/02/2011.
Unfortunate it is that heeded my advice many have not! Strong are the Pigs, mind what you learn, save you it can..
Through the Force many things you may see, horses, batons shields, old friends beaten to a pulp.
Photographs, on Facebook put them you should not. Pictures lead to identification, identification leads to arrests, arrest leads to imprisonment.
Your face too ugly it is, mush you …
House of Lords debate. 8th Nov 2010.

Moglen called for the creation of a Free Software distributed social n…
