'Freedom To Protest' Demonstration, 18th May

A peaceful demonstration is planned to assert our right to freely protest without fear. It will be held at 12pm on the 18th of May at Parliament Square, as a response to the campaign of harassment and intimidation which Lothian and Borders Police is directing at peaceful protesters in Edinburgh. Such repression violates human rights and, if it continues, it will stifle popular participation in civil society. The demonstration is also in solidarity with the dozens of working class people who are oppressed by the Edinburgh 'justice' system every day.

Glasgow May Day

This year's illegal street party was enjoyable: there was food, dancing, groovy tunes, and the police were not as heavy or annoying as last year. Members of the public got involved, in a very entertaining and inclusive event. After a few hours of fun, there was a march through town to Kelvingrove Park. There were stalls from Glasgow's new anarchist group, Industrial Workers of the World and the Unity Centre.
