In the past in Britain (and still today in most other European countries) opposing fascism was considered a duty by almost all anarchists and socialists. Today, many (particularly within the British anarchist movement) have abdicated responsibility for taking on the fascists, and either ignore the issue completely, or at best seed responsibility to specialist antifascist groups such as Antifa. Opposing fascism is something ALL of us have to play a part in, particularly with the growing influence of fascist groups like the British National Party (BNP.)

Following the workshop on sex work organised by the London Anarchist Forum at Saturday's Bookfair, a blog has been created to publish transcripts of the presentations and continue the debate. 

At this years London Anarchist Bookfair I grabbed Musician, Activist, Punk, Broadcaster and Musilim, Aki Nawaz who was there to introduce his film 'To Gaza With Love'.

A small group, but a workshop that brought up many very interesting ideas about the reasons for Prisons. We began by thinking about the kind of crimes that often get people into conflict with the courts.

No Borders protest at Becket House immigration reporting centre

A handful of No Borders activists held a protest on Friday, 9th October, outside (and inside) Becket House immigration reporting centre in south London, demanding the immediate closure of this horrible place. After 'intimidating' staff and security guards with their 'scary' banner and leafleting passers-by, protesters had a tour inside the secure car park, where snatch squads' and G4S vans were waiting to take detainees arrested there to detention centres across the country.

Royal Mail's feeble appeals to the membership have fallen flat on their face. Workers have had enough of cuts and closures, management dictat and bullying, and are getting ready to fight it out for our future....

.....Let's not fritter it away, start lobbying the PEC and passing motions demanding immediate action, we've delayed long enough. With the backlog and a big vote, we're all set up for a powerful national strike - now lets knock Royal Mail down!
