Terrorists?

Events and actions are taking place all over in opposition to the Terrorism Bill which had its third reading on the 15th March, and is due to get its royal assent very soon.

In Brighton , a squatted community centre was opened for two weeks. Upstairs, there was a stage for various performances, including 'Genetically Modified Children' for kids. Downstairs were a sitting area, leaflet display, exhibition space, kitchen, kid's play area and a video room where action vids were shown. Various events took place each day, including discussions, slideshows, a direct action conference, theatre, bands, D.Js, cabaret, and 'Terrorist Blind Date'. Free tea, coffee and a 'terrorist' dish of the day were available, and the atmosphere inside the centre was really good.

In Manchester , an April Fool's Day Parade is happening to make a mockery of the Terrorism Bil.

In Newcastle , 20 people did a 15 mile march from the grave of north east Suffragette Emily Davison to a statue of Joseph Cowen ( champion of workers rights at home and revolution abroad ), to celebrate the radical history of the north east, and highlight the people who could have been and will be criminalized by the Terrorism Bill. Protesters who were dressed as Suffragettes, GM protesters, ANC supporters, striking workers etc. included former miner Dave Douglass, human rights campaigners, direct actioneers, Trident Ploughshares and others.
