Likewise - didn't really get the chance to talk to anyone myself either.

back on the other side
class war sold t shirts in the hall at one point
i think class war went on the march as a bloc though

MC are your standard ultra-left group - they (IIRC) reject all this communisation bollocks. Which is lucky. And do good pamphlets about how the w/c is not present in any number of situations elsewhere.

I read something elsewhere (Libcom?) about Aufheben having to divert energies into problems at the claimants centre they are based in. So no new issue for the bookfair.
In more trad ultra left news:
Saw quite a few CWO types handing out their paper Aurora on the March. Picked one up at a stall at the bookfair too. ICC still banished outside.

tbh they've not been "banished outside" as they've never been inside.

I thought the CWO was just one bloke? Should've picked up an Aurora really. But didn't get round to it.
I also don't quite get the logic of CWO inside, ICC outside? No skin off my nose really though.

Black Flag is up and running again supposedly after about a 3 year gap since the last issue. New issue, people, energy and plans

Well there were a few of them handing out papers on the March. I am sure there are all sorts of Important Political Differences between the CWO and ICC which I will leave others to explain.
From my limited experience of both CWO people seem a bit less... What can politely be described as... intense.

Yeah. That's my memory of (indirect) interaction with them. A little less prone to denouncing everyone else as swamp dwelling parasites perhaps. Oh well. It's hardly important.

I knew steve ash for years. We argued about his oh so provocative embrace of post-class anarchism. He called me a mindless thug - i called him a liberal dilettante. So fitting there was a LAF meeting on just that on saturday. Cheers steve.

Isn't that always the case?

This was at a closed meeting for women only on the Sunday and was part of a closed meeting for women of colour within that. So not part of the bookfair as such. Heard some well dodgy stuff about this but need to confirm with participants.
