Thatcher wanted to "change Britain from a dependent to a self-reliant society", but our present Government seems to be "dedicated to the exact opposite", writes Sallust.

The Mail submitted Freedom of Information requests to Britain's police forces asking how many arrests they had made for 'offensive' social media posts. The numbers are alarmingly high -- over 30 a day in 2023 and only slightly less in 2024.

The UK Met Office's excuses for its invented temperature data from non-existent stations get more fanciful by the day, says Chris Morrison. A fresh FOI release has brought forth yet another unconvincing explanation.

COMMUNISM
A Group Show
21 JAN - 27 FEB
Gallery
Admission Free
indymedia stuff was part of an earlier "red archive" exhibition in this gallery in may04.
"communication actions" happened around city and outside gallery, printflares were distributed, free screenings were put on.
more of these actions are planned for next saturday. we hope you can participate.
as part of last exhibition a "feedback session" was organised, as an open dialogue between the "activist" and the "artistic" community (perhaps there should not be a distinction, perhaps the artists need to get a little more REAL, perhaps the activists need to get a little more creative?)- very few "activists" participated, perhaps another attempt can be made. you can listen to an audio recording of part of that discussion here
http://radio.indymedia.org/uploads/the_red_archive_discussion.mp3
you can view more info of that exhibiton here

on a different note, considerable momentum is happening with the "activist" community, attempts are underway to create a social centre for dublin, "seomra spraoi" (play room in gaeilge)

with the last event being the successfull "brazil night" which happened Friday, Jan 28 2005

regarding "modern art is bolix"-
art galleries could and should be one of the most exciting places in cities, for the most part, for many people, they are not. this is mainly due to the quality of the content and the fact that it is normally a one way thing- open participative evolving systems, such as 2 exhibitions mentioned above are great to see, we hope there is more of it.
equally "art" shouldent only happen in galleries. for many the highpoint is when art, politics, action, life come together- ie RTS, reclaim the streets
if you want to propose further stuff to do, fire ahead. do it- exhibition is on till feb 27

Jump To Comment: 1 2I went to this art exhibition. Wasnt impressed with it at all to be honest, didnt strike any sort of nerve or chord with me whatsoever. The photos of the people in various stages of drunkenness (vomiting, pissing, etc) was just childish. The chairs that had to be moved collectively were sitting there, and made for an uncomfortable waiting spot. The 'what is to be done' leaflets were OK - but hard to see any impact they would have when they're transported around art galleries. The table tennis plinth in O'Connell Street was alright - but hardly any creative or artistic merit, its something any Dublin City Council official could have thought up on his lunchbreak as a public amenity. Overall I would rate it as poor, and extremely far removed from any sort of activism that happens in the city. Never mind the argument about post-modern labelling of an ideology when put into practise killed millions of people and turned into a byword for oppression and hierarchy of the most brutal nature. But y'know, its in an art gallery so its alright... now I'm off up to the Mao restaurant for my noodles...
Whatever about the other exhibits being the usual unimpressive arty student cack, theres a real merit in the bike exchange. Its the sort of thing people have been saying would be a great boost to the activist community and a complement to the whole social centre idea for a while now.
Just open your eyes and look at the price of bikes in the city, look at the number of abanndoned bikes knokcing about chained to city fences and bike spaces. Then look at the costs of bike repairs. People are stripped of such basic skills as bike repair to render them essentially docile for ''experts in a sense to prey off them. Something like the bike workshop which erodes that idea of paying for expertise and reclaiming what capital, our governing force declares as scrap to share skills and help others construct products to take away and use is a fantastic example of what is possible when self organisation and mutual aid is put into practice.
Buying new bikes when there are so many scrapped, is a ludicrous impulse, but one we have bred into us through ads and general socialisation into capitalist society. The UBE in one sense highlights this absurdity and I'd say the idea has startled a lot of people used to paying nigh on twenty quids to experts to change their bike wheel. Fair play!
