Autonomous Nottingham have decided not to release a collective statement about this year's Mayday, primarily because the individuals involved in the collective disagree with one another. We've discussed it at length amongst ourselves and whilst we agree that Alan Meale is a class enemy for the reasons we outlined in our joint statement with AFed, we have different opinions on the actions to stop h…

Public Service workers in health, education and the civil service were striking on Thursday 10 May in their next stage of the pensions dispute. 

Below is our interpretation of what happened on May 5th this year and the political context in which it took place. By ‘our’ we mean that this is the agreed statement of the Nottingham group of the Anarchist Federation. We don’t claim to speak for all anarchists in Nottingham, although we stand together with them in much of our analysis below and took action alongside them, as well as non-ana…

Anarchist Federation intervention at Manchester May Day 2012. Before you ask, this was not coordinated with Nottingham intervention! However, the anti-Labour Party stance in the video Response (underneath the one linked to below) is consistent with the viewpoint we expressed following the Nottingham anti-cuts meeting in Sept 2010 that led to the formation of Notts Save Our Services: http://nottsbl…

On Saturday after the comedy, chaos and acrimony of the May Day rally, Autonomous Nottingham and friends from Afed and elsewhere descended onto the Saturday city streets to do a wee bit of spread the word about the ruling classes latest attack on us precarious workers and unemployed. They like to call it Workfare, we call it another pile of steaming crap.

Nottingham’s May Day events were the scene of controversy after protesters prevented Sir Alan Meale, the Labour MP for Mansfield, from speaking. Meale’s invitation to speak at the Notts Trades Union Council organised rally had already sparked condemnation in the run up to the day concerning his alleged support for “anti-working class” politics and his expenses claims. Protesters used whistles…

This year Notts Trades Council decided to organise a march and rally for May Day. Amongst the expected representatives of trade unions and activist groups, their star speaker was to be Sir Alan Meale, Labour MP for Mansfield and loyal Blairite. This, unsurprisingly, caused a lot of controversy in the run up to the event. A march of a few hundred trade unionists, socialists and anarchists went from…

Just to announce a minor change to Notts TUCs May Day festival this year.  The rally will now take place at the Congregational Hall, Castle Gate, Nottingham from about 11.15 am.



Other details remain unchanged - the march will still assemble at the Forest Recreation Ground (Goose Fair site) from 10.00 am.  There is still a great and varied selection of speakers including (hopefully) a repres…

Meet at the Left Lion

Today has seen the third day of strike action by teachers in Nottingham. Further strikes are planned next week as part of this campaign. This is happening at the same time as a number of local disputes are coming to a head. With national action planned by Unite members in the NHS for May 10th and the possibility of a strike by tanker drivers still on the table there appears to be a small, but very…
