On the 4th of June, a group of far-right racists want to protest in Brighton against refugees.

The group, calling themselves “South Coast Resistance” or “Pie and Mash Squad” say they’re opposed to our city hosting any refugees whilst British people are homless. In reality, this is simply an excuse for their undisguised racism. These fascists don’t care about homelessness, they just want to keep refugees out. The reason for the homelessness in Brighton isn’t the (frankly pathetically small) amount of refugees we’re taking in, it’s the government selling off all the council stock, closing homeless shelters and banning squatting.

Recently the whinging trade union clerks of NUJ wrote a hilarious note of complaint responding to a text on Rabble LDN, which is posted below. We add to this amusing incident the recount of the fact that during 2011, in relation to a photo of the riotous smashing of the Bristol Evening Post building, and for which an anarchist comrade still evades an arrest warrant, we received more than one letter of complaint from the NUJ, specifically coinciding with the day of publication of this article about anarchists and the media, written by comrades in Italy.

Hunger strike in Harmondsworth uk, cross-Europe demos against border prisons

brenner-1

Yesterday (Saturday 7 May), solidarity demos took place at most UK detention centres, at other migration prisons across Europe and also in the US, and at the Brenner pass where the Austrian state plans to build a new border fence sealing off the route north from Italy.
At Harmondsworth detention centre near Heathrow Airport, 190 people announced a hunger strike, and 50 people occupied the yard. We are also hearing reports that one man, who had already been on hunger strike alone for 4 days, attempted suicide yesterday afternoon, cutting his wrists in the yard of the prison yesterday afternoon and falling unconscious. He was taken away by medical staff and prisoners do not know what his condition is now or where he is being held.

Blink and You’ll Miss It – Fascists in Pompey

1

Today, the pathetic far-right fantasists of the Pie and Mash Squad (or “South Coast Resistance” as they’d rather be known these days) held their inaugural demo of the year in Portsmouth. Given that it’s their home turf (most of them live in or around Pompey), they were probably expecting quite a large turnout. That’s not exactly what happened…

The day started early when local antifascists got word that the fascists had been locked out of their meet-up pub (The ‘spoons on the corner of Guildhall) and had taken their rally point early with some tinnys instead. Around 20 nationalists had set up camp at the top of Guildhall steps and hung a banner and two flags, one saying “Leicester casuals”. What the fuck they were doing in Pomepy instead of celebrating is anybody’s guess…
