Firebox cafe fundraiser Kickstarted!: how you can help

Reposted from the great Left Futures blog: 

Physical space is the focus for the left once again

For many, the firebombing of the Freedom Press anarchist bookshop in Whitechapel last month was shocking – not only in its vicious nature, but also in the revelation that London still had such an institution.

But as the Press struggle to get the pamphlets moving once again, the incident offers a more potent message to the new left-wing cafe and cultural space Firebox: just how difficult it is for fringe left spaces to survive, especially in the modern day.

Once London was littered with radical bookshops and community centres, but they are few and far between these days. It looked like a downward spiral to zero – until Counterfire, the political and cultural project that developed after a split from the Socialist Workers’ Party in 2010, acquired a shopfront in King’s Cross and established London’s first radical cafe in decades.

It’s gone from strength to strength, serving lattes and dissent in equal measure. This month, they are offering a 10 per cent discount for Camden council workers. The upcoming programme includes aMay Day comedy fundraiser featuring Stuart Lee and more.

Yet in view of the attacks on the Freedom Press, they are already fundraising for basic security precautions such as shutters and an alarm system. Pledges from £5 upwards can get you a series of Firebox perks, from free entry to events to signed books to walking tours.

New Emily Wilding Davison t-shirt from Philosophy Football for IWD 2013

WEAR YOUR COLOURS FOR EMILY'S CENTENARY

04.06.1913 One hundred years ago the Epsom Derby was disrupted by perhaps the most famous protest at a sporting event in history.

Britain at the time was bitterly divided. The early Trade Unions and others striking against poverty wages and appalling working conditions. The cause for Ireland's Freedom was attracting support on both sides of the Irish Sea. And from the Suffragettes a massive wave of non-violent direct action.

For these Suffragettes the Derby was absolutely a legitimate target for their protest. Horse-racing was the sport of the Establishment , Epsom a day out to celebrate tradition, one that denied women the vote. The King and Queen would be in attendance to watch the KIng's horse race for glory.

When Emily Wilding Davison ran on to the racecourse a century ago she hoped to stop the race and ensure that women's voices be heard.  When the horse racing at full speed collided with her the chances of survival were virtually non-existent. she never regained consciousness and four days later she lost her battle to live.

Emily's heroic, yet fatal, action formed part of a protest movement that involved many thousands more women.  From smashing every shop window in London's West End to blowing up post boxes, via disrupting Parliament's proceedings and heckling MPs at public meetings this was a campaign few could ignore. So instead imprisonment, and when the demand by the women that they be treated as political prisoners was also ignored the Suffragettes responded by going on hunger strike. Again their punishment was more repression, brutalised by force-feeding these ferociously brave women still refused to abandon their cause.

The Suffragettes were not fighting for the vote alone, but for women's liberation too. Most saw the vote as one step towards getting what they wanted. The Suffragette movement was large and strong, yet at the same time complex and multifaceted, combining those for whom hope lay in constitutional reform with others who believed in the vocabulary of revolution. Whatever their differing objectives the result of the campaign was the loosening of the ideological hold of men over women. Women gained a real sense of their equality, and began to establish a determination to put it into practice. By their actions and protests , as well as their ideas and arguments, the Suffragettes liberated themselves and all their sisters too.

In 1918 the Representation of the People Act finally awarded women the vote, but only for those over 30 years  of age. In 1928, fifteen years after Emily gave her life for the cause women's parity in the vote was finally recognised when the voting age for women was reduced to 21 years, the same as for men.

http://www.philosophyfootball.com have produced a set of commemorative designs featuring the colours purple, green and white. These were hugely symbolic for the Suffragette cause. Purple was for dignity, white for purity and green for hope. Militant, committed to direct acton, courageous and in the end victorious too.  Deeds not Words and Dare to be Free were the twin ideals, worn as brooches, on sashes, carried as banners, that shaped the Suffragette movement.  A century later we can wear them again as T-shirts. All designs available from  http://www.philosophyfootball.com

The shirts are in support of the http://emilywildingdavison.org

2) Syria: Lindsey German replies to Guardian's Jonathan Freedland

Lindsey German has replied to an article by the Guardian's Jonathan Freedland in which he accused Stop the War of being silent and hypocritical on the issue of Syria. As Lindsey says, Freedland "misrepresents nearly everything to do with our policy" on Syria. And she concludes: "Perhaps he should direct his criticism at those carrying out drone attacks in Pakistan, or bombing children in Afghanistan. It is a bizarre sense of priorities that leads him to attack peace campaigners rather than warmongers." Read Lindsey's full reply, which was published in the Guardian, here: http://bit.ly/T4cKRk

Tony Blair at UCL - no comeback for the war criminal

Tony Blair is back in town on the speaking circuit, this time helping to launch a new department at University College London. In a further attempt to extricate himself from the illegal invasion of Iraq - which resulted in hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties - Blair is now billed to speak as an expert on the 'difficult issues facing markets and economies' and perhaps most bizarrely one of the most 'popular politicians in recent times'.

A letter signed by John Pilger, Tony Benn and academics at London universities, including at UCL, has been sent to college management which criticises what is perceived as an endorsement 'of Mr Blair [who] took our country to war against Iraq in flagrant violation of the UN Charter and in doing so committed the international crime of aggression.'

Take action

• Add your name to the letter to pressure UCL to withdraw Blair's invitation. http://bit.ly/R0sgh2
  
• Join our demonstration on the day of Blair's visit at UCL to make sure his crimes are not forgotten. http://bit.ly/R0rD7p
  
• Help us spread the news of Blair's visit by sharing the Facebook event with your contacts: bitly.com/RAfwf

We will meet outside the main gates of the UCL campus on Gower Street at 11am on the 13th November.

The situation on the ground may change at short notice. If you would like to be kept up-to-date, please e-mail your mobile telephone number to office@stopwar.org.uk to join our texting circle. We will send out alerts on the day.

Syria: a response to the critics of the anti-war movement.

Copy left to Luna 17-thanks for his well laid out argument.

Counterfire's response to critics of the anti-war movement Posted: 01 Aug 2012 06:44 AM PDT Last week I posted my own response to those on the radical Left who under-estimate the role of external intervention in Syria (and the continuing relevance of imperialism to the Arab world more broadly). My piece was also published on Counterfire. A major new Counterfire article, written by John Rees and posted today, develops these points in greater depth. See 'Empire and revolution: Syria and the critics of the anti-war movement'. Two points in particular are worth stressing here. Firstly, John's article makes it clear that differences over Syria are interconnected with deeper differences of analysis regarding imperialism and the Arab revolutions. It isn't just about Syria. The key thing is to examine accurately the impact of the Arab revolutions on the region - without exaggeration - and assess the influence of a counter-revolutionary response from the West and allied states in the Middle East. Secondly, there are profound practical implications following the analysis. If you believe that the role of imperialism is only a secondary consideration in Syria - and that more broadly its role in the Arab world is greatly weakened - then you pay little attention to building an anti-war movement to resist foreign intervention. Instead you sit on the sidelines and merely cheerlead for the Arab revolutions, while taking rhetorical potshots at serious anti-imperialists who you think are exaggerating the problems of foreign intervention. Alternatively, an accurate analysis of the situation demands that we mobilise to stop our own political leaders intervening in the Arab world. That is the only meaningful thing we can do, and must be our priority. The new Counterfire article begins: 'Public debate has begun on whether imperial intervention has any significance in determining the course of the Syrian revolution and, by extension, the Arab revolutions as a whole. Most informed commentators associated with the anti-war movement hold that while of course events in Syria have their own domestic dynamic there has developed a significant imperial dimension which is a threat to the continued progressive nature of the uprising. There are naturally differences of emphasis, some of them important, among this group but on this major issue the Marxist writer and activist Tariq Ali, Guardian columnist Seumus Milne, MP George Galloway, Iraqi exiles and analysts Sami Ramadani and Sabah Jawad, the Deputy President of the Stop the War Coalition Andrew Murray, the convenor of Stop the War Lindsey German and supporters of Counterfire are in broad agreement. The opposite point of view has been expressed by Richard Seymour in a piece critical of Sami Ramadani (in the Guardian online), Simon Assaf in a debate with Sami Ramadani, and Alex Callinicos in an attack on Tariq Ali (the last two appeared in Socialist Worker). This response to the debate does not of course claim to represent the views of those attacked: they are well able to respond to, or ignore, the articles as they see fit. This is simply an attempt to reassert the centrality of imperialism to developments in the Middle East and to provide a framework for understanding the dynamics of the Arab revolutions.'

HOT NEWS: TONY BLAIR BREAKS COVER
JOIN THE PROTEST: STOP THE BLAIR COMEBACK
TUESDAY 24 JULY 4pm-5.30pm

Nearest tube Westminster or St James's Park
See map: http://bit.ly/LJfC5T

The announcement of the venue for the latest stage in the Tony Blair Comeback campaign has been kept secret till just one day before the event, so fearful is the man who would be prime minister again of anti-war protesters and people attempting to make a citizen's arrest (see http://bit.ly/LoamA8).

Blair will be in conversation with the Archbishop of Canterbury, who opposed the war on Iraq. They will be talking about religion in society, so there will be no shortage of sanctimony and hypocrisy on Blair's part.

Stop the War is committed to call a protest whenever the war criminal  comes out of the shadows to speak as if one million Iraqis didn't die as a result of the illegal war he waged with George W. Bush.

If you live in London please join the protest if you can. And publicise it as widely as possible. Bring your personalised placard too, as these always make an impact with the media.

A poll published a few days ago showed that only 28% of people think a Blair comeback would benefit the country, with 61% adamant -- it wouldn't. For any one who hasn't got the message as to the reasons Tony Blair is loathed by so many people in Britain, they should read Sanum Ghafoor's excellent new article: Never let them bury the truth about Tony Blair.

2) Britain's top spy beats the drums for war on Iran
3) Tony Blair's mad-hatters banquet on his comeback trail
4) Become a Friend of Stop the War: Summer offer
_____________________________________________

1) What is really happening in Syria?

US and NATO leaders are laying the groundwork for open western military intervention in Syria. It is unclear to what extent covert intervention is already taking place -- through funding, arming and advising some of the opposition groups, and by special services operations in Syria -- but Tariq Ali's view is that it is extensive. See What is really happening in Syria? http://bit.ly/NtXQlu).

Economic sanctions are being intensified, which, as we saw in Iraq, can be the prelude to military intervention.

The plan is to do to Syria what happened last year to Libya: to bring about regime change favourable to western economic and strategic interests. But we only need to see what has happened to Libya since the NATO war to know how disastrous this would be for the Syrian people. See Human rights now worse in Libya than it was under Gaddafi: http://bit.ly/NHGtyp

Stop the War's position on Syria remains as was spelt out in our statement on 11 December 2011:

Stop the War Coalition fully supports the right of the peoples in all the countries of the Middle East to determine their own future and assert democratic rights.  We are therefore implacably opposed to any external intervention, especially military intervention, in Syria. (See full statement here: http://bit.ly/xLbGV6)
_____________________________________________

2) Britain's top spy beats the drums for war on Iran

The focus may at present be mainly on Syria, but it is Iran that is the ultimate target for the US and its allies . Economic sanctions are already imposing real hardship on the Iranian people and are about to be made far worse. See: Carpet-bombing Iran's economy is war by any other name: http://bit.ly/OIRSvg)

And now we have, Sir John Sawers, the head of Britain's MI6 intelligence service giving his own version of Tony Blair's infamous claim that Iraq needed just "45 minutes" to activate its weapons of mass destruction. This time, according to Sawers, we have just two years to stop Iran getting nuclear weapons -- despite there being no evidence that Iran has any such plans.

 See: How Britain's top spy is beating the drums for war on Iran. http://bit.ly/OITi9b

3) Tony Blair's mad-hatters banquet on his comeback trail

The Tony Blair rehabilitation campaign, orchestrated by fellow war criminal Alistair Campbell, is now well under way. But Blair and his acolytes are running scared of anti-war protests whenever he tries to show his face in public -- and of attempts to make a citizen's arrest for war crimes (see http://bit.ly/O3rTQ2). So they keep the venue secret of where he is speaking until only a a day or two before the meeting.

Or -- as in the case of the meeting he was planning to make in Lambeth on 9 July -- the threat of a protest is enough to get the meeting cancelled.

The main launch event of the Tony Blair Comeback took place last Wednesday at Arsenal football stadium in North London. Anti-war protesters formed a gauntlet through which an array of Labour MPs, celebrities and sporting personalities had to pass to shouts of "shame on you".

Sadly, among those joining the Blair love-fest were comedians Jo Brand and Eddie Izzard -- both of whom opposed the Iraq war.
Once inside, guests at the £500 a ticket banquet heard Labour leader Ed Miliband say, "Thank you Tony for all you have done for the Labour Party and the country," before announcing that he was making Blair his new policy advisor on the Olympics legacy.

It was, as Lindsey German writes, a moment When reality outstripped satire at the Tony Blair mad-hatters banquet. See http://bit.ly/OIWPEj.

Stop the War is commited to making sure that Blair's monumental war crimes are not forgiven or forgotten. We will call protests every time he appears in public and speaks as if hundreds of thousands of Iraqis did not die due to the illegal war into which he took Britain on a raft of lies.

The next event on the Tony Blair Comeback is on Tuesday 24 July in London, when he will be speaking on Religion and Society, sharing a platform with the Archibishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams -- who was an opponent of the Iraq war -- and the former editor of The Times Charles Moore -- who was not.

Once again, we do not know yet where this event will take place. Anyone who has more details for this event, please contact Stop the War: Email: office@stopwar.org.uk. Tel: 0207 561 9311

Blair at Arsenal FC: Give Him the Boot!

 https://twitter.com/TonyBlairWatch on twitter

Dear Friends,

We've just heard that Tony Blair is appearing at Arsenal football grounds tomorrow evening, at a dinner with Ed Milliband to promote British sport.

This is one of a number of events that he is doing this month as part of his recently announced 'comeback' tour. Last night he was due to do a fundraiser with Tessa Jowell MP. After much lobbying and the threat of a protest this event was postponed. But the war criminal is still at large. Let's give him the welcome he deserves and put a stop to the attempt to rehabilitate Blair:

Please take 5 minutes to invite friends on facebook -

And forward this message to your contacts.

All the best,
Alistair
