(en) Poland, Warsaw, ZSP and Food No Bombs Protests at Green Way Restaurants
On March 15, protest actions took place at Green Way restaurants in Wroclaw, Warsaw, Olsztyn and Lodz. At the Wroclaw restaurant, the local Food Not Bombs collective joined ZSP and, with the slogan "Free Work, Free Food", the activists gave out free food at the entrance to the blocked restaurant. The idea was that, since the restaurant does not want to pay workers, why not go one step further - and not charge people for eating? ---- At the Wroclaw action, former employees cheated by the restaurant took part and when the boss came out to complain about the free food, demanded their salaries. ---- By all accounts, the free food was much better than the frozen fast food crap at the vegetarian McDonalds. The owner of the restaurant called the police but open arriving, they went into the restaurant and then went away, refusing to do anything about the action. ... more >>
Toffs nil, Workers WON!
CLASS WAR were recently criticised for regular updates on the activities of Hunt Saboteurs. Our alliance with HSA is long standing and will continue. Huntsabs are class warriors, who spend their weekends chasing after the Rich at Play. They are harassed by the police and beaten up by blood thirsty rich cunts on horses. For those who criticise, saving a fox, hare or any other animal adds to the pleasure for CLASS WAR. What a great day out: PISSING ON THE POLICE AND THE RICH! Today, the working class won. Bryan Griffiths, gyrocopter pilot has been found not guilty of killing rich SCUM in March 2009. The injustice remains, as comrade Bryan spent the last year in prison. Birmingham Crown Court heard Trevor Morse, a committee member of the Warwickshire Hunt, refused to move as the craft neared him and HIS HEAD WAS CUT "FROM TOP TO BOTTOM" BY THE BLADE of the gyrocopter. Dying instantly. Bryan had been monitoring the hunt and stopped at the airfield to refuel. Trevor and his mates were making every attempt to intimidate attack and prevent any action that would prevent their precious game from continuing. Well, GAME, END, DONE The Workers WON more >>

Political leader warns of massive UK unrest
BRITAIN could face massive political and social unrest on a scale similar to Greece, a political party leader has warned.The Guardian reported that Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg was concerned that the next government might not successfully rally the public behind plans to slash public spending and cut the state's £178bn deficit.So far, the UK has only seen symbolic protest against the excesses of neo-liberalism, such as the anti-G20 protests in London last year (pictured), but Clegg, a self-confessed admirer of Margaret Thatcher, apparently has something on a much larger scale in mind.The report says that in a speech to the Institute for Public Policy Research thinktank, Clegg will say a new government could be 'torn to pieces' if it tries to 'ram through' spending cuts without wider public consent."He will argue that the scale of the cuts needed to tackle the deficit is so great that it will be essential to engage the public in the process."If the structural deficit in the public finances is to be eliminated without further tax increases, at some point in the next eight years government spending will have to fall by as much as 10%."That means there is an enormous risk ahead. In a democracy, dramatic change cannot be imposed from above or it will fail. It has to be led by a process of political engagement," he will say."You only have to look at the scale of industrial unrest in Greece to see that it is impossible to reduce a public deficit quickly if you do not find a way to persuade people to go along with the process."If we do not find a way to take the people of Britain with us on this difficult journey of deficit reduction, we will not be able to make the journey. We will instead follow Greece down the road to economic, political and social disruption."If a government tries to ram through major change to public spending solely through the usual Westminster combination of machismo and threats from the whips, it will not only fail, it could find itself torn to pieces." more >>

Abahlali baseMjondolo Press Conference on Friday 19 March 2010
Abahlali baseMjondolo Press Statement Tuesday, 16 March 2010 Abahlali baseMjondolo Press Conference on Friday 19 March 2010 Venue: St Paul's Church, 161 Pine Street, Durban 031-305 466 Date: Friday 19 March 2010 Time: 10h00 a.m. There is a deep corruption at the top of our society and a deep anger at the bottom of our society. As the dirty deeds of the tenderpreneurs are being dragged into the light by the media and as the police become ever more violent the poor are taking to the streets across the country in ever greater numbers. We continue to believe that the only way for this country to heal itself is for the poor to organise the poor so that we can increase our power and decrease that of the politicians, the rich and their civil society. Since the attack on our movement in September last year we have expanded into eight new areas despite ongoing repression and harassment. Now is the time to unite all our branches, the old areas and the new, to defy the ongoing campaign of repression, and to take our demands to the streets of our city. read more more >>
Police Misconduct: Injustice Everywhere
People submit diabolical cop stories to Cryptogon everyday. Clearly, there’s way too much of this happening for me to handle on Cryptogon. Yes, I agree, the endemic bad-cop situation is a nightmare. And it’s a nightmare that should be brought out into the open, but it’s simply far beyond the scope and capacity of what [...] more >>
