A Barbarous And Ungovernable People

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Bristol Radical Pamphleteer number 11 has now been published. A Barbarous And Ungovernable People by Steve Mills is a look at the often uneasy relationship between the miners of Kingswood Forest and the people and authorities of Bristol. Expect riots, turnpik abuse and the death of an innocent parrot.

Find out about our full range of pamphlets on the Pamphlet Page.

No Retreat

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Monday 5th October 2009, 8pm at the Cube Cinema,  Entry £3/£4 (but nobody refused entry for a lack of funds.)

Bristol Indymedia & Bristol Radical History are pleased to welcome Dave Hann & Steve Tilzey, the authors of ‘No Retreat’ – a powerful account of their fight-back against far-right Nazis and racists on the streets of the UK from the 70s though to the 90s. With the BNP gaining two seats in the European elections, the authors deliver constant and powerful message that fascism thrives when the working-class is ignored and betrayed – and we ignore it’s rise at our peril.

The Cube Microplex is a membership cinema with a licensed bar. If you are not a member you need to pay a £1 membership fee on your first visit. Remember to bring your card with you every time you come.
