Anarchy in the Sticks!

Dear Comrades,

Thank you to all who supported our Boscombe mini Bookfair:

As always Elkie, Chris and Staff at Obsidian Café who understand what we are doing and go out of their way to help. To Dan Kemp, and to Tabitha Wild and John D Revelator who stepped in at the last moment to save our gig. To the volunteers and speakers. Some visitors made very generous donations and we really appreciate it.

Our events survive on the voluntary anarchist-communist principle; “from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs”. Books and T-shirts go out at cost. We are trying to deconstruct the concept of transaction because it creates hierarchy, so if you are skint and want to read a pamphlet, have it on us. If you are destitute and hungry, come and eat with us anyway. If your pockets are empty you can still come to the party.

All our artists played for travel expenses, a few people gave us a donation to this but most did not. If you are one of those and haven’t got a pot to piss in you’re welcome, most of the Collective are in the same boat. If however, you find you can afford to contribute to the cost of the food and entertainment, please consider making a donation. These events cannot continue without your goodwill.

The DRB Collective is boycotting Chaplin’s because we have been treated with disrespect and are not welcome there. We tried to explain this to our friends, with limited success.

Consumer boycotts and withdrawal of labour are the only effective weapons of our Class. Without solidarity we are powerless, none of you would consider crossing a picket line. Anyway, it’s a shit venue and not a patch on the old Riviera, which is back in business. So if we can put the Boscome Punx off the place we might get a change of regime and a more realistic attitude – over to you!

Here’s John D with a song about the Bristol Bus Boycott – it does work, you know!

In respect of Brianna Ghey, it’s “gender” not “gender identity”. Gender only becomes an identity when it’s commodified under capitalism i.e. given a relative market value – ed.

Taxi for Yaxley!: The Far-Right Fucked it

Anti-Fascist Network.

So what did we see on Saturday from the far-right? On this high-stakes day in the national spotlight? In a nutshell, they fucked it. Yaxley-Lennon had plugged the demo with old EDL videos enticing the faithful with memories of their glory days smashing up kebab shops the length and breadth of the land. His promise was getting the gang back together for one final job. And on that count at least, they did not disappoint: it was like an EDL re-enactment society. They got the beers in early, did a few lines in the pub bogs and were all steaming, ready to
