that's because he is he's a marshall arts expert

at the time he was thinking, Just stay on my feet at all costs

later he went to casualty to get his head wounds checked out but the place was full of fascists so turned around and left it for the day

A few people have told me about him before. I couldn't believe it after he got out of that scrum he got straight into another fash haha.

Mad guy.

That bloke in the purple coat needed a kicking.
 
there was also a 'legendary' battle with joey owens in liverpool as well which owens fails to mention in his bore wars book.

The oft mentioned Dave Hann TV interview has also been put up. The person putting them up must be ex-AFA.

The Dave Hann interview!!?? Oft mentioned by certain quarters as a Searchlight stitch up. Nonsense. Why then did JH not say something at the time. I was involved in that programme some of the shots were in my house, they were my flags and Im on it but they didnt choose to show my face. Another conspiracy made to fit. YAWN.
ps just saw your next post after I posted this.....

Someone has put up the whole of the BBC's footage from the Battle of Waterloo. I've never seen this footage in its enteririty before.

Shows the tall AFA skinhead who takes a beating being much more of a hard nutter than before.

yes. but (at work) does it show the fash having a heart attack? it would be useful for both entertainment and informative purposes.

I wasn't meaning to take sides with the post. I was merely mentioning that that interview is often mentioned. :)

I know RS I'd never attach any of this shite to you. BTWb do you think you could get those audio tapes on soon.
ps The footage shown in that news item was shot by me and is the first ever public appearance of C18. Ive got the whole demo on tape somewhere....

Not sure that it was claimed as a 'stitch up' - more that it was a case of Hann cutting ties/quarantining himself. If JH didn't say anything at the time, it was maybe because it only became apparent later exactly what the game was.....

Yeah they'll be going on in June, or earlier: my last exam is at 2pm so I might do them in the week. Needed to buy this upgrade to put audio up so I've only been able to do it recently anyway.

I've got several hours of tape. Need to some how separate them into different videos.

It includes a march up Oxford Road (not sure if it was Man. Martyrs or a loyalist one), footage in Sweden, footage of take from inside a car staking out a pub, footage that appears in that news footage. Maybe more. You've got more on your tapes. I couldn't work the DVD copier properly and had trouble because each tape had several different bits of footage.

I've also got the Ray Hill documentary but its spread between two DVD's so I need to merge them.

The other bits I got off you were the Ratcatcher doc, Violence with Violence and the Rochdale BNP video. Those three are already uploaded.

DC gave me all the Red Attitudes, they need to go up. Got fucking loads of other bits like Red Action pamphlets, intel docs, C18 and BNP shit.

Literally got 8 folders of stuff. I've also got more newspaper clippings to put up, lots more actually.

EDIT: it all needs to be scanned by the June 10 because apparently that's when I have to enter the real world and I'm not a student any more so I can't use the library scanner.

With my archive, the new Red Action website and the youtube videos being uploaded by 45antifascist most of the AFA/RA material will be nicely archived for the future.

i didnt know about the RA site. i was trying to trace a link to the old forum (now gone) to clarify something on morrison - who has just re-emerged as part of that daft national liberal thing. just as harrington departed back to the BNP. coincidence? berks!

thats grand. the RA stuff was very well written from what i gathered on the old site.

All the stuff I've got is well written although it would have helped that Spell Checker had been invented 20 years earlier.

It does depend what you're reading though. I found the early Red Action's a tough read in some parts because they're pretty theoretical.

What makes the Red Action literature good though it that it is brutally candid.

i always found the main problem with ra that the longer articles were big blocks of text.
 
I remember a pamphlet called 'the news the SWP forgot to tell' or something along those lines.

Was it a Red Action pamphlet? I remember it being. Does anyone have one?
 
Do you mean the trotwatch publication(s) from the early 1990s? If so, that was done by members of the notts anarchist group or notts anarchist news if remember right. There are a couple of people on here who were involved in those groups so might confirm.

Well, it actually preceded RA. Drawn by expelled squadists and their political supporters still within the SWP.
