About the WOMBLES
Updated March 2009:
The WOMBLES group stopped holding meetings in summer 2006. The web site continues autonomously of the defunct group.
The WOMBLES was always an open meeting ground for people struggling for a new world based on the dignity of people to live freely, without coercion, states, private property and exploitation. A world without classes and ethnic, sexual or gender divisions, a world without borders.
Meetings were there to discuss actions, news, social issues and projects that people would like to implement, to encourage a general interest in revolutionary, anti-capitalist, anarchist, anti-authoritarian ideas and actions.
The WOMBLES was not a membership organisation: no one had to bear allegiance to it but people were encouraged to participate on a non-hierarchical basis. People new to revolutionary, anti-capitalist, anarchist and anti-authoritarian ideas, desires and actions were always welcome to attend and be part of whatever was being discussed, organised or conspired.

From our collective statement:
We believe in non-hierarchical decision making within our collective and in broader society as a way to empower individuals in participating in their lives to the fullest. We promote self-organisation as the alternative to handing power over our lives to the state or political parties or other hierarchical institutions.
Our struggle for self-organisation and social autonomy brings us into inevitable confrontation with the existing social and political system. Any action we're involved in, whether on a mass demonstration or by occupying empty buildings to create social centres reflect the social struggle to take control over our lives read our Collective Statements here >>>

Police Review: magazine cartoon - "In staggeringly poor taste"
from J4J campaign, 18 November 2008: We would imagine that, in the midst of the inquest into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, publications aimed at and widely read by serving police officers would show greater sensitivity in the way they talk about fatal shootings by the police. But evidently not. The magazine "Police Review", in its 14 November edition, decided that the introduction of new rules preventing firearms officers from conferring after a shooting was best illustrated by this appalling cartoon. more
