When I said 'lazing' I of course meant 'reading'. Even revolutionaries need some time off but please don't tell Nechayev I said so.

The UK anarchist punk scene was fueled by fear and loathing of nuclear weapons and those who would use them. If you don't know why, I suggest you visit the Peace museum in Hiroshima, Japan or try listening to this. Both made me cry. Hersey's Hiroshima. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

For those who can access BBC Radio 4 podcasts this looks like it might be great. Mark Steel used to do anarchist events and Dave & Helen and the rest of the Mclibel campaign crew were great inspirations to Active and we helped them as much as we could at the time. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

When I ponder on why I ended up the way I am, cynical, radical and disbelieving in authority I am pretty sure the brilliant Tom Lehrer had a significant influence in my early teenage years. Tom released his first record in a totally DIY style. He was a comic genius who died today.
