From Poll Tax Struggles To Recession Resistance

An event by Bristol Anarchist Book Fair on Thursday 23rd April 2009 at the Cube from 7:30pm. £2/3.

19 years ago when the Tories tried to introduce the community charge, or Poll Tax, in England & Wales, they were met with a campaign of mass grassroots community resistance, in the form of anti-poll tax unions. About 17 million people refused to pay, and used a diverse range of tactics to confront the state and tax collectors. What can we learn from that campaign that could help us in the current crisis?

Speakers include Danny Burns, local anti-poll tax activist & author of The Poll Tax Rebellion and East Bristol Debtors Alliance.

More details of this event can be found on Bristol Anarchist Book Fair’s website.

The Plaque prize draw is happening this Saturday night as part of another legendary Who’s Afear’d. Tickets are £1 each and available from the Seven Stars pub in Redcliffe, the Beaufort Arms in Hawkesbury Upton. You will be able to get tickets on the night as well.

If a grand prize draw and Who’s Afear’d aren’t e’nough Martin O’wen will be also be  performing. Proceedings at the Seven Stars kick of at 8:30pm, suggested donation £2.

The plaque unveiling is at lunch time on Friday 1st May and will be followed by an evening of poetry, music and partying.
