Suggested meetings at the Bookfair;
Attica Versus Butchers Arse
The debate of the century
Attica's Empathy workshop
Why is so much crammed into a one day bookfair?
Why do we all hate each other?
Can anarchists forgive and forget?
Should all personal baggage be allowed to get in the way of unity?

Excellent.

I reckon a Molton Brown stall could be in order. They've got as much claim to be anarchist as Catholic Worker, and at least their products smell nice.
love detective
there's no love too small
didn't the libertarian alliance used to have stalls there as well
fucking numpties

I can get behind it, as long as their products are tested on animals first. I'm not going to be some soap company's guinea pig.
biff curtains
Fred West or Fred Housego
The only time I've seen them there, they were removed.

Molton Brown probably test their stuff on endangered species. The kind of exclusivity reflected in the price.
I'd be more than a little pissed off if I paid £25 for some shaving cream, only to discover it'd been tested on a rabbit. 
Blagsta
Minimum cage, maximum cage
Darios spent some time whining about that iirc.

hang on there son, don't you have long hair in a pony tail and a beard, and a leather jacket? So someone on their way to see ACDC is to give the movement hygiene lessons?
It's a fair cop, but at least I've never been seen in public wearing tweedhang on there son, don't you have long hair in a pony tail and a beard, and a leather jacket? So someone on their way to see ACDC is to give the movement hygiene lessons?
Though I did get rid of the pony tail ages ago
Well, not quite. This was Nigel Meek (a great guy incidently) who was sharing a stall with Total Liberty and selling one of his publications on contemporary Anarchist writers (Larry Gambone, Joe Peacock, The Chicargo Drinking Brigade, etc). As the Fair continued he spread some of these out on an adjacent spare table. This last act has been touted as the reason for his expulsion. I think it was a hasty and unthinking decision to expel him, after all there are blatent Marxists present year upon year.

Are they the kind of marxists who offer crumpets with tea?

You are more likely to get a tin of Galloway Spratts in brine from the worker's canteen. You'll also get sentences thus:
"The proletariat's revolutionary negation of capitalism, communism, is an instance of this dialectical movement of supersession, as is the theoretical expression of this movement in the method of critique developed by Marx"
This from "Aufheben's" explanation of its name for new readers.

i don't think i have any tweed, but yes, if i did i would certainly wear it with pride.
Viva el Chapismo!
tbh i kinda got over that phase. To do it well you need tailored shit, trying to do it with secind hand stuff fails; people don't throw out interesting 3 piece suits in my size.

I remember George Orwells quote about those 'who do not like the smell of the working class' - a lot of working class people smell, such is life, get over it. People who work hard tend not to be hygenically clean, and also part of the class is more likely to smell because of its work and lifestyle - such as agricultural workers, sewage workers, fishermen, lorry drivers, chemical workers and so on. Those for whom the capitalist system has not worked; the homeless, druggies and so on will also tend to be in a difficult and smelly position.

Bring back hanging
So it'll be working class people mainly and they'll smell because of their work? Sewage workers coming straight after a shift down the sewers and not bothering to have a shower, farm workers covered in cow-shit? Fishermen with cod in their hair? That sort of thing?
