Mutual aid and big ideas in East Anglia. North of Essex. No you've gone too far that's Norfolk. To the right of Cambridge ... theeeere you go. Yeah that's us, looks like a medieval shoe someone left lying around.

More on this soon, but following our showing of To Kill a War Machine in June we've now confirmed a monthly series of radical film nights with the lovely folks at the Quaker Meeting House in Ipswich! It'll be free entry, with donations towards the cost of the room welcome.
Want to learn how to identify raids, what to do when you see one, and what your rights are? Join the folks from Anti-Raids Brighton, up specially from the south coast, tomorrow for this free training session!

One talk at the Peterborough Radical Bookfair on Saturday was by @copscampaign.bsky.social and @spiesoutoflives.bsky.social about the whole disgusting Spycops saga, and the Inquiry. They're doing a reactions series to the most recent tranche of statements here:

The idea of Jack Abbott MP building anything more complicated than a sandcastle is objectively funny.

Can you "steal" spammed leaflets? I'd have thought they're there for whoever happens to pick them up. ~s

Anglia Water claiming "it ain't us guv" while having the worst record of any water company for sewage dumping is a real eyebrow raiser. Oh and they're also trying to get the biggest price hike for cleaning it all up. Gipping the piss, this lot. #Suffolk

Coming up this Sunday, 7pm at the Quaker Meeting House, Ipswich, our next screening will be Libertarias.

During the Spanish Civil War, a nun attempts to flee Barcelona but is instead drawn into the struggle of the Mujeres Libres.

All welcome, free entry (donations welcome) with discussion after!

Obviously we're not electoralists, but saddening to see Your Party's MPs stuffing up their project, especially when it had so much enthusiasm at grassroots level. Hope everyone involved in the various nascent local branches don't get discouraged - there's still loads that can and should be done!

Coming up on Sunday evening we'll be soft launching our DIY education series: First up will be a freeform workshop on how we engage with (or simply de-escalate) political conflict in group situations.

Give us a bell if you fancy coming along for it! [email protected]

Well done everyone who put the pressure on to get the white power gig in Great Yarmouth cancelled! That's 500 very disappointed boneheads.

Ahead of our first Last Sunday film showing (on Sunday), as the Quakers didn't have a sound system we've scrounged one together and donated it for anybody to use 🎵.

Matewan is showing 7pm, free entry with discussion (and possibly cake) afterwards. It's a story of epic union struggle.

Look what arrived! Being thrifty and environmentally conscious sorts we not only sorted our Last Sunday Cinema list several months ahead so the flyers will stay relevant, we also put a little intro to Suffolk Anarchists on the back 😎. Come along to the Quaker House 7pm Sunday after next and say hi!

Oh look, the Tory who made himself wildly unpopular by grabbing the Suffolk library system is now weaponising that control to attack free expression.

Artist: "I'm concerned about the rise of anti-Semitism ... I think it is so important that we don't collectivise any one group of people."
Ipswich Star: Here's a pic of Bob Vylan and a lame attempt to imply they're responsible for anti-Semitic attacks by people they never met or encouraged.

Anglian Water often gets let off by critics for not being as financially dysfunctional as Thames, but it's one of the smallest water companies in Britain, how is it topping the sewage scumbags list?

If it were anything but Labour Friends of Israel there'd be major concerns over an MP taking a propaganda junket worth thousands from a country on trial at the ICC for ongoing war crimes. Bury St Edmunds MP Peter Prinsley, however, barely makes local news. #Suffolk

"Oh this guy's being aggressive, better be racist at him" is an er ... interesting argument. And by interesting, I mean nonsensical.
