Around the country billboards containing Poppy Appeal posters from the Royal British Legion are displaying images of British soldiers in Afghanistan, or their grieving widows and family. While the appeal tries to raise it's annual £30 million, most people think the best way to help the troops is to bring them home and prosecute the politicians who sent them. Below we outline how to modify these billboards yourself to carry the messages 'BRING 'EM HOME' and 'PROSECUTE BLAIR'

Saturday 24th saw another successful edition of London's Anarchist Book Fair. The same as in previous editions, the event was very well attended throughout the day. It is difficult to say exactly how many people made it there, but looking at it from our stall we can easily say that hundreds of people (if not thousands) spent the day checking out the stalls, networking, attending sesssions and, our guess is, plotting too.
The Anarchist Book Fair has undoubtedly become a focal point for the radical, alternative, autonomous and anti-authoritarian political movements of this island, and as such, it offered a large program of talks, presentations, workshops and meetings. London IMC and Dissident Island were busy recording audio from some of these, so here there is a selection:
Non Commercial House, 165 Commercial Street.

The rampART Social Centre was evicted at 5:30am this morning by 45 police, bailiffs and a priest.
After over 5 years and many eviction scares it has finally happened... 3 people and a dog were inside when police attempted to chanisaw the door. They also had climbers going up to the roof conjuring up memories of the raid during the G20 in April. Police are blocking the entrance to all three roads leading to the social centre with vans and their bodies. They are handing out a piece of paper with a telephone number to call to get belongings out of the building. If you are able to help move or store stuff please contact the rampART collective - rampart@mutualaid.org.

This building has been abandoned and left to rot for over 1 year .
We took action to battle this unfair fact by occupying this space and turning it into a form of autonomy an active , creative space where people feel free from the monster called capitalism ......... while being completely surrounded by it.
