Freedom Anarchist Newspaper

Of course he is. He's being mentioned more than he ever has as a result of this and can wax lyrical over the binary waves.

But then he'll have to get back with his parasitic leaching off the movement and when he's out and about doing that perhaps the attention he gets won't be as enjoyable.

The paper is supposed to be subsidised by shop sales. It's important to do that. “Paper is essential to the whole enterprise.” We shouldn't think of the paper as existing to produce profit.

Just subscribed (well I think I have, few hanging screens and all that...).

Don't know anything about the battles in the Freedom Collective but it all sounds a bit depressing. As well as any political disagreements, former comrades falling out isn't great. Sounds like it's well beyond patching up?
 
Tried to get in to the bookshop on Saturday but it was closed.
What is happening?
Is the bookshop closed?
 
July edition just arrived. Seems they are in financial straits and last edition might be in October. Anyone read or reads it? Any thoughts on its continued existence ? I can remember getting my first copy as a school kid and subscribed as I was getting pissed off with getting all my politics from a computer screen. Apparently it has 300 subbers and needs 200 more to break even. Seems tantalisingly close.

What came of all this then? Have they folded?

BREAKING: Freedom was firebombed last night. No-one hurt, upstairs is okay but shop and electrics have been seriously damaged.

Not much to be done today, but plan for cleanup and appeal for cash (no insurance coverage sadly) will be getting sorted out asap.
 
If, as has been reported, lots of books have gone that would mean the thing got going properly rather than just a craply made one spluttering out on contact.

I predict Laura's impending breathlessly c'mon-guys-we're-all-on-the-same-side exhortation to join tomorrow's clean-up - complete with twee hashtag - within the hour.
