Three weeks ago we had the terrible news that long term IPP prisoner, anti-authoritarian, and all round bad-ass Taylor had died. Later that day some of us joined with other supporters and friends of Taylor’s to head to HMP Eastwood Park. Taylor may have died by their own hand, but it was no less a murder by HMP Eastwood Park who prefered to show brutality and transphobia than even the basic levels of respect that could have kept him going. It was a murder by all those who are part of the so-called Justice system that kept him inside for so long under IPP, a type of sentence since ruled illegal ..read more

For those of us surviving in London, the birthplace of capitalism and one of the places where the process of deterritorization, gentrification and individualisation of social life has reached its furthest phase, Exarchia has served as an example of resistance and counter-attack against those same forces for many years. As we struggle to fight against the death-machine of the colonialist capitalist heteropatriarchal white-supremacist nation-state in order to carve out a small measure of free and unmediated life, Exarchia reminds us what was taken from us and inspires us to create it once again ..read more

Yesterday Bristolians from many different groups and backgrounds gathered together in response to a call under the slogan #BristolAgainstHate. The call was to oppose known transphobe, islamophobe, and all round bigot Posie Parker. She planned to visit Bristol, with her fan base, in order to ‘reclaim space’ to be as transphobic as possible in public.  Breaking with anarchist stereotypes we arrived early to the 12–noon anti-transphobia deonstration on College Green. Around twenty others had done likewise and stood around us as we set up a stall and gazebo. Bristol AFed, along with other f ..read more

Comrades in Ukraine sent us this reflection, written on the 7th of June, to our recent essay on the cost of living crisis in the UK.

Ukraine, anarchist approaches For a month or so on the Organise! website we have been rounding up statements and articles being produced by anarchists on the war in Ukraine. The starting point for this was to air Central and Eastern European voices, because relatively few western anarchists were seemingly in touch with their perspectives even though eastern comrades were explicitly asking to be listened ..read more

Intro The cost of living has shot up recently, and looks like it will continue to rise over the next couple of years. This increase will make life harder for almost everyone besides the rich and powerful. Many who may have been comfortably surviving previously will be forced into a precarious position where one run of bad luck could throw them into poverty. Those already in poverty are facing a disaster. The last time we faced this kind of cost of living crunch, during the 2008 recession, the British government chose to do very little to help. In fact, the government played an important role i ..read more

Looking to cement their new alliance, serial far right islamaphobic grifters Anne Marie Waters and Stephen ‘chose my own nick name’ Yaxley-Lennon, planned a visit to Bristol. Their main aim was likey giving a much needed boost to the publicity and funds of their looser political party – which only polled 0.26% in the last election it stood in. The early publicity from the pair described it as a protest *against* Black Lives Matter, and in support of slave tarder Edward Colston and his famously toppled statue. Things started to go badly for the bumbling duo almost immediately. Soon after people ..read more
