Manchester Anarchist Book Fair - Saturday 26th - Jabez Clegg

[Balbi]

I imagine there'll be plenty of anger once the soppy cunts start banging their pots and pans

Yeah, against them - not in support of them

ajdown, sarcasm proof

 

[rioted]

Yes, pots and pans, that was what brought those governments down.

Yeah, of course it was.

Are you really saying that pots and pans (and dustbin lids) have no part to play in social upheaval?

 

[Refused as fuck]

This is becoming surreal.

They have a part in cooking, and stopping vermin getting into bins...

For those interested in Manchester, books and stuff it's worth noting that the bookstall near the MMU is being targetted for removal. This green community business needs to be supported. Ask them about it next time you're passing. I think there's a faceache group which I'll try and look out.

Why? That's the best bookshop in the city.

I helped move a table out of the rain there once.


Edited to add: may have already gone, hasn't been there all week.

 

[Balbi]

Might have been shifted for Freshers Week.

 

[Fledgling]

Yeah I guess, flyers in yer face isn't an improvement imvho.

 

[In Bloom]

Yeah, of course it was.

[smokedout]

Not quite. It's always hard to tell, so I sometimes play it safe.

Anyways, I can contain my exitement no longer. Im not happy with the leaflet formatting but the copy is ok.

We are doing a pots and pans noise demo on the anniversary of the bailouts.

People may not be impressed with the effectiveness of demos, but pots and pans played a part in bringing down goevrnments in Argentina and Iceland so there's a reasonable pedigree.

Tell your grandkids where you heard it first.

funniest post ever

 

[Refused as fuck]

Pretty inspired.

One of the organisers was interviewed for the local anarcho radio show, Under the Pavement.

'vegan anarchists' - that's quite a niche market you got there

I can't help it if the main presenters of a show that featured a slot in which neither of them appeared about an event being discussed here feel the need to advertise their status as picky eaters.

Comrades!

Our weapons for the revolution!

This isn;t really a book fair is it?

Could even be a "quiche" market nowadays

What an odd question.

 

[PeterTCA]

Thanks for those who got yesterday's book fair together.

A great success. Lots of contacts. Lots of ideas. What a book fair should be like.

 

[thegonzokid]

Thoroughly enjoyed the bookfair. Met some new comrades, particularly from SolFed. Definitely worth the journey in from Liverpool (any plans for one there in the future?).

Being a Middle-Class revolutionary is it ok if I bring my Le Creuset cookware set from John Lewis?

Yeah, we made enough back in stall bookings and food sales to put money down for next year.
