Danny is theologically opposed to gerunds

More like *fanny* la rouge!
That was my thinking.
Gerunds are surely an ecumenical matter..?

This whole thing is just going gerund and gerund in circles now.

Do you know how to get gerunds to Chester Zoo without going under any low bridges?

No, I think you're getting mixed up, the thread about whether Who's a space refugee, and if that counts as an anarchist issue, is over here. Unless you were meaning to say that your favourite live album is the Who's Live at Leeds, in which case you want this one, although I think voting's closed now. Either way, this thread is about the anarchist bookfair.

London ACG applied for a stall some time ago, and since, radio silence like last year. Not even a "disinclined".

I'd read the whole Lisa McKenzie saga upthread, and had been thinking up till now "well, good on them, you might not agree with their decision but at least they're bothering to set out clear reasons for their refusals this time around, so they seem to have learned some lessons from last year." Clearly I was being a bit too optimistic there. Maybe if McKenzie sends in an email asking if the ACG can have a stall, she might get an explanation?
Also, for fans of bookfairs, separate from the Manchester Anarchist Bookfair that'll be happening in November, there's going to be a bookfair of small press publishers happening in Manchester in September. Applications are open until August 19th if the ACG, AWW, LMK or anyone else fancies trying their luck:

So the anarchist bookfair in its current carnation allows sales of magazines defending Tara Flick Wolf but doesn’t allow the ACG - and let’s not pretend the shitty treatment the ACG have been dealing with (for a while now) isn’t linked to the fall out around the time of the Hyde park incident.

Elderly anarchists have to stand outside and inside you can read about how some violent prick is the victim of something or other. Safer spaces woohoo

What Hyde park incident?
A380
How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
Couldn’t they bring those little folding chairs? Go Outdoors are doing cheap ones for £4.99 at the moment.

It's a reference to an altercation that happened in September 2017, that was not entirely unconnected to the later kerfuffle at that year's bookfair:
De-TERFing Speaker's Corner - Freedom News
[CW for violence; descriptions of trans misogyny; racism] Over two and a half years have passed since a confrontation at Hyde Park Corner between trans protestors and a group of transphobes. The incident resulted in the persecution of Tara Wolf by both the state and the transphobes themselves...
freedomnews.org.uk
I don't know what conversations may have happened about it within the AF in 2017, but since the ACG was founded in 2018 and, afaik, have never made any comment on the case, it'd be a bit weird to base a decision about giving them a stall on their perceived attitudes to that incident?

"The whole thing barely would have raised eyebrows at a Wetherspoons any Friday night. "
Is this true ? tbh I have never seen too much trouble in Weatherspoons on a Friday night. 4 o'clock on a Thursday /Friday afternoon after an all day session yes and weirdly once after a wedding but rarely on a Friday night. Neither the AF or ACG were involved btw.
