BP spotted cavorting amongst spoils of Mid-East culture: British Museum 19.7.04

BP spotted cavorting amongst the spoils of Middle Eastern civilisation: British Museum, July 19th 2004

And indeed it came to pass that our intelligence was good, and we were perfectly positioned to question, challenge, cajole and possible occasionally charm the guests arriving at BP's secret shindig at the British Museum.

FREE? WHY?

Almost everyday (except when it has been raining or threatening to rain) there has been a publically accessable freeshop placed on the pavement outside the rampART. Consisting of a clothes rail, shelfs and a couple of boxes, the freeshop contains mostly clothes, shoes, bags and books. The following text is a modified version of an essay about freeshops taken from Eurodusnie (see

http://squat.net/eurodusnie/english/shop.htm). We plan to produce a leaflet from this text to be placed with the freeshop. We've made the text none project specific so that it could be used at other projects.

Please feel free to comment on the text and discuss the concept further, as we would like to improve the text before goin ahead and producing the leaflet. Read more >>

Public meeting on casualisation hosted by AF/Freedom

Anarchist Federation (London group) and Freedom are holding a discussion on casualisation - i.e. making workers more "flexible" for the benefit of the boss - inconvenient working hours, temping, cutting sick pay, etc. - and how to fight it. We'll discuss the trend, why it's occuring, succesful examples of campaigns against it, and what we should do about it.

The meeting is at 7:30pm upstairs at Freedom Bookshop, Angel Alley (under KFC), Whitechapel High St (nearest tube: Aldgate East).

All are welcome. Bring your ideas and opinions. Read more >>
