Positive report from Fuck Parade 3, sent in by a random anarchist who was in the mob. Last Saturday over a thousand people came together at the ‘Fuck Parade’ to resist gentrification and the social cleansing in London’s East End. It was a beautiful expression of feeling put into action. … Continue reading
Great summary on the hostile responses to the Fuck Parade, from Johnny Void’s blog. Rarely has there been a more open display of arrogant entitlement than the alliance of pampered hipsters and Tory scum who have lined up across the media to attack yesterday’s anti-gentrification protest in Shoreditch. From ‘High … Continue reading
We are very glad to spread this call-out from Calais Migrant Solidarity for a demo at St Pancras station, the London terminal of the Eurostar train (and home of “Europe’s longest champagne bar”). Hundreds of people without papers in Calais are going up against the Eurotunnel razorwire fences and private … Continue reading
Stand up to gentrification! Our communities are being ripped apart – by Russian oligarchs, Saudi Sheiks, Israeli scumbag property developers, Texan oil-money twats and our own home-grown Eton toffs. Local authorities are coining it in, in a short sighted race for cash by “regenerating” social housing. We don’t want luxury … Continue reading
A large demo bringing together many pro-migrant groups was held today in Central London. It was part of an international day of action called in solidarity with refugees. Here is all you need to know about it. The speeches. The ironic placards. Jeremy Corbyn. The slow shuffle to Parliament Square. … Continue reading

From Hungary to France, people are cutting the fences, blocking trains and roads, occupying train stations and public buildings, self-organising and fighting. In Calais, the pace of struggle is picking up with large scale actions now happening … Continue reading
Rich scumbag Mark Palmer-Edgecumbe duped people into believing he would be opening a museum celebrating the history of East End women. Instead, he unveiled a lurid spectacle about a serial killer and mutilator of sex workers, on the site of a historic battle in which women fought the British Union … Continue reading
UPDATE: An emotional solidarity demo took place in London today (Saturday 25 July), which ended up blockading the BBC headquarters for a couple of hours. Quite a few anarchists and antifascists were there alongside Kurdish youth, and of course the Kurdish political parties. We have not heard of anyone planning … Continue reading
Good news. We are informed that the comrade who was hospitalised on Saturday night, after taking head injuries from fascists, is fine with just a few stitches and no serious damage. We also wanted to share this photo of the Camden branch of Foxtons estate agents. They shut the business … Continue reading
Last night’s “Camden Fuckparade” started slow, but it started. Class War had called for a 12-volt-battery-powered streetparty to oppose the area being turned into another “unrecognisable, bland, yuppie-infested wasteland with no room for normal (and not so normal) people.” Announced start time was 7PM outside Camden Tube. By nearly 9 … Continue reading
