Disappointing to see that the sudden rush of 3 newswire posts, relating to the working class & struggle, fail to mention potentially one of the biggest ongoing series of strikes in Bristol and the rest of the country for many a year.

Wednesday & Thursday sees 2 days of strike action by many of the lowest paid workers in the public sector. Nationally upto 600,000 members of the Unison & Unite unions could take action in what may be the first of a series of rolling strikes. Next time around it may be 3 days, then 4, then…?

The genesis of this piece was the discussion on this newswire about attacks on the cycle path in Easton. What particularly struck me about these attacks was that people referred to the attackers as `groups of kids'. Why would children do this? Well I've got no answers but this piece outlines the trail that my thoughts have taken in the weeks since reading the discussion... read full story / add a comment

"Denialism can arise from personal ideologies, or desire for profit. Industry groups may seek to protect markets from damaging facts and information. Political groups may work to advance their agendas. Combinations of these may work in concert with interest groups on issues of mutual importance. Despite the disparity between these groups and the motives behind them, the tactics used by denialists are largely similar" read full story / add a comment

I was faced with mixed feelings when I read about the tory MP David Davis's recent stance over the 42 days so called 'anti-terror' legislation. I have never really been a tory supporter, or event any fan of the existing political order, but suddenly it is good to see something that speaks though the political bullsh*t towards an issue that is real - the power of the state over us minions.

How do we make sense of the recent attacks along the Easton cyclepath or the near daily outbursts of road rage on our heavily congested streets? Do we demonise the people who committed this violence, treating it as evidence of their wrongheadedness and ‘evil’ as subjects, or do we examine and act to change the structures surrounding those people and the systemic violence they suffer; coming from disadvantaged backgrounds in a society whose rich are growing rapidly richer while the poor go nowhere, where class mobility is far less than a generation ago, in a community that lacks youth centres and other activities for young people to enjoy, Bristol City Council’s bizarre urge to fill the inadequate roads with ever increasing volumes of traffic (see the new Cabot Circus Car Park) and the lack of affordable and reliable public transport (its current guise of First Great Western providing private profits allied with extortionate prices and atrocious service)?

Do we seek ways to effect and change the ideology of competitive individualism which sees young people growing up in a society which urges them to look out for themselves and no one else or do we simply label them little bastards, wrongful creatures who have exercised their free will to be irrationally evil? read full story / add a comment

The Kuumba Centre, Bristol and the South West's leading African Caribbean arts centre for the last thirty years, has recently had it Arts Council funding cut.
