From: mrnobody-AT-geocities.com Date: Thu, 02 Oct 1997 10:20:31 +0100 Subject: AUT: Hillingdon demo & occupation Wednesday 1st October marked the 2nd anniversary of the Hillingdon Hospital workers strike. A demonstration was held in Hillingdon, west of London UK, attended by about 300 people. This was a fairly standard trade union style march/rally. Later, some of us travelled back to London and carried an occupation of the Labour Party offices at Walworth Rd. (The Labour Party are currently the ruling party in the UK. They are this week holding their annual conference in Brighton.) We displayed a banner from the roof and leaflets were distributed to passers by. Those participating are more-or-less involved with 'Reclaim the Streets' a radical urban group concentrating originally on car culture but with increasingly broader horizons. Our aim was not to pressurize the Labour Party, but to highlight its anti-working class policies, and our own oppostion. -- web: http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill//Lobby/3909/ email: mrnobody-AT-geocities.com post: BM Makhno, London WC1N 3XX, UK --- from list aut-op-sy-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
