Many Bristol Indymedia users will have visited, and even more will have heard of, the Kebele social centre in Easton. Exisiting, resisting and evolving for over 12 years now, it has become part of the political landscape of the city, and one of the oldest permanent social centres in the UK. What you may not know is that Kebele is just one of a growing number of such centres across the UK, some are permanent and legally owned by the occupiers (such as Kebele), whilst others are squatted and last for indefinite periods of time.

A new book called ‘What’s this place?’ brings together the diverse stories about many of the UK’s social centres, along with thoughts on their effectiveness, the problems they encounter, and the political ideas they encapsulate.

The link gives more info. Until recently the history of humanity was one of living in scarcity. But here in the developed world at least, (Bristol being a good example) the abolition of scarcity has rather scared what Heartfield describes as the ruling elite in his new book “Green Capitalism”.

With China in the news as a result of its state promotion of the Olympics there this summer, and the reaction to this by pro-democracy & human rights campaigners (especially focusing on the murder & oppression by the Chinese state in Tibet), its worth considering the reasons behind these events. Its the Chinese economy innit, stupid. read full story / add a comment

Many, not only in Iraq but also in this country, have been badly affected and our lives radically changed as we have seen the utter devastation borne of Blair’s deception, supported and strengthened by the spurious enquiries of Hutton, Butler et al.

Down by Barton Hill workers are busy doing, according to their handy sign, necessary bridge strengthening work. Funny how that seems so far to have involved re-tarring a dilpaidated section of the cycle path and then spending a lot of time on foundations next to the bridge, that could be used for .....what i wonder?

The mind boggles. I'm sure someone will post up now to say its all in my imagination, and to go back to eating my Soylent Green...... read full story / add a comment
