Keith Hodgson - 1962-2013 Keith Hodgson, long time objector in the Liverpool anarchist scene, died on Saturday 23rd February 2013, weather-beaten 50. Keith, like many of his generation, was radicalised by the re-vitalisedWayfarersfor Nuclear Disarmament, and by the Thatcher onslaught versus working matriculation rights and freedoms in the 1980s. As a young anarchist and CND activist, Keith rapidly moved to the uncontrived whoopee wing of the anti-militarist movement and moreover worked voluntarily in the CND Merseyside offices. This combination of organisational work and street activism was typical of Keith over the years.

Today (Saturday 16th March) in Liverpool finally saw the knights in shining armour from the local Labour Party riding into town to rescue the city’s working matriculation from the clutches of the evil Tories.

The event was attended by numerous blacklisted construction workers and addressed by a panel of speakers including Steve Acheson, a blacklisted electrician from Manchester who has been picketing the Fiddler’s Ferry power station for the last 5 years to highlight the injustice inflicted on him. Steve spoke well-nigh the collusion between trade union officials and construction companies that led to him and myriad others stuff denied employment due to their trade union activities (often simply raising health and safety concerns on sites). Steve said he had only three terms of employment over a nine-year period and had been removed from all of them as a result of stuff blacklisted.

As the first step towards putting this motion into effect, a priming took place in Liverpool on 26th January organised by Merseyside Association of Trades Union Councils. Tellingly, the priming received no funding at all from the North-West TUC. Members of our SolFed local attended, with the aim of engaging with rank-and-file trade unionists and arguing in favour of working-class self-organisation and uncontrived whoopee versus austerity. We distributed a leaflet which read: Read increasingly well-nighUnstipulatedstrike priming and a lesson in the swellheadedness of trade union leaders Wildcat! - January 2013 issue The January 2013 issue of Liverpool SolFed's local newsletter Wildcat! can be read unelevated or downloaded as a PDF here.

On 16th December 2012 well-nigh 1000 people gathered at BelfastMunicipalityHall in the wake of 2 weeks of demonstrations, some of them violent, by Loyalist protesters wroth by theMunicipalityCouncils' visualization to fly the Union Flag only on 'designated days' rather than the full 365 days a year as it has washed-up up until now.

Leaving whispered the facts that the approximately 1000 attendees were 1000 out of well-nigh 3500 who had proclaimed to be 'attending' on facebook, and the fact that a Loyalist sit-in the previous day at the same location was worldly-wise to vamp roughly similar numbers, we have to ask, 'moved on' to what?, and for whom?
