The next issue has to have a furious denunciation of the Manarchism of the Anarchist Federation and their belated and half hearted attempts to "check their privilege".

Er..no you haven't. You taken the text from the marxist internet archive, added a 150 word intro and tore the thing to pieces to reduce it down to about 50 pages from around 200 (and if we went on proper book pages rather than pdf pages your edition would be nearer 20)

I don't really get a Maoist vibe off that site, apart from the interest in Nepal. I mean, the anti-leadership, anti-"vanguard" politics stuff has been welded to Maoism before, but the French Mao-Spontex groups were a lot more all Mao all the time than this. There's no stuff about the "mass line" or "one divides into two" or "social imperialism", no "serve the people" slogans or the like. They even have some pro-Cuba bits, which is a pretty strict no-no.
There are a few bits that are sort of Maoish in a non-specific way, for instance the voluntaristic and moralistic stuff about communists having as much a duty to do good deeds for the oppressed as to go to their union meetings, but in a British context that's at least as likely to come from Anarchoid thinking as Maoism. The banging on about Nepal is indicative of a Maoist influence, certainly, but how much further than that does it go?

Disappointed with the Prachanda Path.
I popped over to revleft to see if there is anything about them there, but got sidetracked. Saw this.

I bow to your superior leftist identification skills on this - I saw the Nepal stuff and just assumed to be fair - on Libcom where I saw this first they say they might be "post-leninists"

They call themselves post-leninists and so become legitimate targets.

"We’ve been contacted by an organisation called the SFI, England, who describe themselves as “a forward-looking working class Marxist grouping for skins, punks and Casuals.” The SFI say that they formed to “add political coherence to the scene” and are particularly hostile to “German ‘grey area’ obsessives” who they describe as “Stalinist buffoons.” The Trotskyite group, whose initials are believed to stand for Street Firm International, say their goal is to “return socialism to the working class and vice versa.” They deny any links to the old Red Action (“sectarian supporters of terrorism”) or the SWP (“muddle-headed middle class revisionists”); and assure us that they have no truck with “fashionable clerical fascism.” (Mad mullahs etc). The SFI are apparently building “the Street International” and are looking for bands to align themselves with their tendency globally. They remind us that Slade played a Socialist Labour League gig at the Empire Pool, Wembley (which is true – March 1972, a massive head-shot of Gerry Healy was beamed up behind the band as they {aptly} played ‘Mama Weer All Crazee Now’). Given the disastrous track records of youth cults, pop and politics, you may feel that this development is the last thing the scene needs, or alternatively that it all adds to rock’s rich tapestry. Either way we can’t be involved as we’re 100% anarcho-syndicalist these days and Fat Col is voting UKIP. Try Maninblack, chaps."

Hearing whispers of an external fraction basing themselves on Bordiga's 1940s analysis of space travel being impossible.
You don't have to be a Maoist to be interested in what's happening in Nepal. West Bengal seems increasingly likely to go the same way too.

A cruel twist of fate changed Simon Blackwell’s life forever. A man of intense passions, he resolved to deny his emotions and desires forever—taking refuge in the wilds of the moorlands and shutting himself off from the world. But on one extraordinary night, on a rare trip to London, the unthinkable occurs. An intoxicatingly beautiful stranger stirs the sensuous hunger he has sworn to resist. Simon Blackwell believed that no woman could tempt him.
No woman…save Annabel McBride.
