He is charged with assaulting an anti-fascist on St George’s Day, just one of many incidents in which members of Merseyside BNP have used intimidation and threats of violence against those who oppose them. Tierney is perhaps the most active member of Merseyside BNP and the most violent, and we want him to know that we won’t let that fact die quietly. To show that we will not stand for this kind of act on our streets, Liverpool Antifascists have called a picket for the first day of his trial. We will be holding a protest from 9.15 by the Victoria Monument in Derby Square. We are urging as many people and groups as possible to take part in this action. Fighting fascism is not a job for an elite squad of activists, but for everyone who wants to live in a free society. If you’re a member of a trade union, a community group, a political organisation, or even a marching band – please get involved. The more organisations commit to turning out against the BNP, the more irrelevant the far-right becomes. If you want to help, please petition your groups to get involved and make the commitment to turn up at the Crown Court on the day.

That the height of supposed female emancipation coincides so perfectly with consumerism is a miserable index of a politically desolate time. This book is partly an attack on the apparent abdication of any systematic political thought on the part of today's positive, up-beat feminists. It suggests alternative ways of thinking about transformations in work, sexuality and culture that, while seemingly far-fetched in the current ideological climate, may provide more serious material for future feminism. The event is being jointly organised by News from Nowhere, the University of Liverpool's Philosophy Festival, and (AWOL) Angry Women of Liverpool. 7.30pm - Next to Nowhere, Basement, 96 Bold St, Liverpool - location map |
