Rare footage inside Brixton’s 121 centre, a squatted social centre that ran from 1981 til 1999. As an anarchist social centre, the venue hosted a bookshop, a cafe, infoshop, library, meeting rooms, office space, printing facilities & rehearsal rooms >>

Archive Gold. Another autonomia movement sheet- this one’s called Schizo. A Bologna based anarchist inflected newspaper Schizo is peppered with photos of historical anarchist partisans, absurdist poetry and incitements to insurrection.

Big solidarity and absolute respect to those who bravely held the line against fascist scum who were trying to enter refugee accommodation in Bristol tonight. ✊✊✊✊

Scary shit in Bristol tonight, had to hold the line as fascists fought their way to the front of a hotel that houses refugees. Only 6 cops on bikes present, police horses finally arrived when they'd got to about 5m from the door. Proud of Bristol but still fucking shaking. WTF

I found a great autonomist joke on an archival expedition. A graffitied copy of Potere Operaio’s paper. Graffiti reads ‘What’s the difference between the bores in the PCI and the bores in Potere Operaio? Answer: At least the PCI can talk about something other than fucking work!’

@maydayrooms @56aInfoshop @libcomorg As an aside Big Flame also intersect with Jeremy Corbyn’s bio. It was feminist comrades from Big Flame and the radical collective of the counter culture newspaper ‘the Islington Gutter Press’ (most notably Lynne Segal) who initially convince Jeremy to stand and run for office.
