Crumbs - 10 years on - Newbury anyone?

[rowan]

As for showing the films elsewhere, this is something that will certainly happen. Plans are afoot to show them on a Monday evening sometime in the spring at the Ritzy in Brixton, and I'm intending to get in touch with other places in London and further afield - Brighton, Slough, Reading - in the hope of showing them there too.

Hiya Andy, how you doing?! Any plans on to show them in Cornwall?

Rowan, you might want to try emailing andy, he's here a bit sporadically ...

Sporadically? Pah! Well no, you're right in general, William o'W, but I'm in full participation mode at present. Hi Rowan. I'm looking at showing films and doing talks in London and close to London in the first instance, because it's, er, more affordable, but who knows what the summer, and the festival season, might bring? I really felt last night that the films should be shown widely, as the environmental impact of the anti-road protests seems so relevant to the big issues - climate change and peak oil - now facing us all.
All the best,
Andy

My dad's a jcb driver - got hired to work on the site(s) at the time of the protests - did not know anything about what was going on though.

Drove all the way there to get the digger on site - hours at the speed that thing travels. Arrived - at which point someone approached him to explain the reasons for the protest etc (someone, who's hand i still want to shake). He told the contracter to piss off despite being right out of pocket, turned around and drove the many hours back home.

Still very proud about that as the folk who were involved should be for the stand they took. (my old man's not exactly mr. green or mr. leftie or anysuch)

respect to your dad there mate .. and to all who tried to stop this massive act of vandalism .. on a bloody route of an old railway as well .. fools.. and traffic in newbury is back up to what is was

i went a few times .. once specifically, with a group. to leaflet and talk to security/workers .. they were treated like scum by the bosses kept in big barracks and bussed in every day .. the day we were there at least half a dozen walked off the job .. most due to us talking to them .. ashamed at what was going on and at their being part of it all .. many more felt like that too but could not afford to walk .. and sadly i have to respect that to an extent ..

the horses film is on an UNdercurrents ..

It is likely to continue to be on the agenda for some time to come, not least due to developments on the #spycop/Pitchford front.
