Anarchist Bookfair London

http://www.anarchistbookfair.org/

Got handed a flyer for this in St. Albans on Saturday, thought it might interest some people since they're showing films and having open meetings etc. I happen to be able to travel to London for £2 that day so I thought I'd pop along.

Oh yeah and it's on Saturday 18th October.

 

Hmm, that looks rather interesting.. might well pop along to that (can't travel for £2, but hey).

 

hmm intresting

 

Any more poeple thinking about it? Meeting up with some people from another forum myself but the more the merrier

 

*gasp* Another forum? You mean ... you've been unfaithful?:frown:

 

Tis the student room Liffiummmm....

 

I'll be wandering through, though only briefly, I'm meeting a friend in town later on and we're going to see all the museums

I am THAT exciting.

But if you see someone that looks a lot like Jesus, wearing a white Peace Poppy then feel free to say hi.

 

Wow that was mad. And fun. Hung out with too people who's photos I hadn't really seen and haven't really spooken too and it was fun

 

Twas interesting.. picked up a couple of books, quite a few pamphlets, some zines (coupla Black Flags), a wallet with Hunt Saboteurs on it, and innumerable leaflets about various things..

S'a damn shame I can't make Socialism 2008, but *shameless plug* http://www.socialistparty.org.uk/articles/6388

 

That's the biggest hazard of these events, you can't avoid walking away with enough assorted leaflets to fill your recycling bin ...

Is that the Socialist Party formerly known as the SPGB (aka the duffle-coat tendency) or the Socialist Party formerly known as Militant?

 

Probably the former.. they don't seem too militant, if I introduced the idea of armed struggle theyd look at me like I was mad

 

I only read this today.
A day after
Typical.

 

lol I made it to Stepney Green, but couldn't find the thing using their directions.

My complete lack of orienteering skills fails me again

The nearest Harford Street I could find on a map was 8 miles away, and the arrow on the map (which they now say to ignore!) didn't actually point to the venue.

So after an hour wandering around a housing estate near the hospital I got bored and went to leicester square to meet my friends.


But I did get a couple of new books from elsewhere. I can't seem to travel without picking up new books

 

haha.. turn left out of stepney green station and you can *see* queen edith's...

 

I could see a big long road

"Queen Edith's" means little to me.

They mentioned a Harford road which wasn't on any map I could see, and they had a map on the site with an arrow, pointing to a deserted estate

I probably could have found it if I had hung around long enough, but I had other things I wanted to do the same day

 

It was Queen Mary's university

I got the tube to Mile End and just followed the signs to the university.

 

Queen something anyway

 

Now I remember.. Queen Ediths is the name of my local authority..

 

lol I passed an entrance to that at some point, but it looked very quiet. And I was looking for the mysterious Harford road

...Cos that's what the directions said.

You have to bear in mind that where I live we have a horse, a small tree, and a road.

So through my eyes London looks like this:

 

London is twisted and not very saucy, then?
