UK: Schedule 7 – Anarchist comrade Toby Shone stopped at Gatwick Airport after Ozora rave

Schedule 7: Anarchist comrade Toby Shone stopped at Gatwick Airport after Ozora rave

“I don’t know”, “I can’t remember”

On the 5th August 2025 Toby was returning from the legendary Ozora psytrance festival in Hungary where he’d been partying for 12 days and invited to speak about social shifts, the war on drugs and his experience of being in prison for psychedelics. At the UK passport checkpoint he was approached by an Officer William NORMAN #39947, accompanied by a larger group of basement dwelling plain clothes bureaucrats of the Counter-Terror Police South East. Toby was detained against his will for several hours and subjected to weak verbal threats and physical intimidation. Toby was searched and his phone and MP3 player were seized by the cops.

Officer NORMAN unsuccessfully attempted to covertly record Toby’s legal call with his lawyer and it was clear that the police were upset that he’d been able to leave the country. According to NORMAN their intent was the continuation of the open investigation and harassment of our anarchist comrade on the first occasion that he re-entered a UK border, which granted them special powers of interrogation and seizure. Toby was later released without any arrest or charge.

This incident comes as the last collective house from Operation Adream was attacked and raided by violent local thugs and an armed response unit of Gloucestershire police in late March. One comrade was arrested and released under investigation and another comrade was identified at gunpoint, as they had issued an arrest warrant for Toby for Grievous Bodily Harm, which was related to self-defense to the attack on the collective house in Forest of Dean. An armed police team with dogs and torches searched for Toby in the surrounding forest and issued threats that Toby was a “danger to police”, which is only to justify their use of violence. This marker against Toby was set by agents of the National Security Division and Counter-Terror Police, after a few of them got their feelings hurt.

At no point was Toby asked about any of this, nor about anything related to “extremism”, or “terrorism”. Every State, authoritarian or democratic, calls its opponents “terrorists”, “extremists”. In a world of modern televised genocide these terms have completely lost any meaning. The time for revolutionary change is now. Fuck Schedule 7! Fuck the CTPSE!

Letter writing + Talk with Toby Shone for the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners – BASE Bristol

Sunday 31 August 2025

BASE Bristol – Easton – 14 Robertson Road – BS5 6JY

18:00 Food
19:00 Talk

The International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners[1] takes place every year between 23-30 August to commemorate the murders of the Haymarket martyrs in Chicago, 1886, who died for freedom, labour rights and dignity.

This year at BASE we’re holding a fund-raising dinner and letter writing event along with a talk by ex-prisoner Toby Shone, who will speak about the international week, the background of Operation Adream*, his own prison experience and the importance of solidarity, as well as the continual need for revolutionary action.

Two years since Toby was snatched[2] for attending an International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners letter writing event at BASE, he’s back. The Counter Terror Police South-West and the National Security Division couldn’t keep our comrade out of our arms for long.

Too many anarchists and activists remain behind bars. Everywhere the authorities are cracking down against dissent and protest. When freedom is outlawed, only outlaws will be free! Come and sign cards, write
letters and learn about the anti-prison struggle and the cases of imprisoned anarchists.

Don’t forget about those in prison and if you want to take part, you can show up for a solidarity banner photograph (bring a mask!) after the event, so we can send it to prisoners. Vegan food. Fundraiser for the Anarchist Defence Fund[3].

If Solidarity is Terrorism Then We Are All Terrorists!

Fire to the Prisons!

ANTI-POLITICAL ★ INDIVIDUAL REVOLT ★ INFORMAL ORGANISATION ★ ATTACK

London is a disneyland for the world’s dominators. The scientific and economic elites and their armies of technicians rule here unopposed – without having to fight against any idea which could challenge the foundations of this society. For this reason, they are free to use this city as a stable base to plan, launch, and profit from one-sided slaughters which subdue the lands where ‘critical resources’ are to be found, whether in Congo (cobalt), Yemen (Saudi oil fields) or Gaza and the West Bank (water and land).

But London is not spared from the relentless sacrifice of life to the economy. The bosses and their enforcers have us exactly where they want us: our time and life sucked dry in forced pointless activity called work and school, made sick by toxic materials in order to sustain addiction to useless objects. This city of exploitation and control is an endless ‘opportunity’ for anyone with money and power and an upgraded, high-tech hell for the rest of us.

The latest ‘upgrade’ here in south London is the proposal to expand the tube network of hyper-speed exploitation down the Old Kent Road to Lewisham – a dirty deal between TFL and finance capital which is already yielding luxury developments, springing up like a rash. Rent, energy, food-price hikes which sow desperation and abject dependence on charity… The oppression of passing the days in mouldy, pest-ridden, flood-prone, flammable boxes… Limitless police-state controls on the neighbourhoods… These are just a few of the attacks being deployed.

Not everyone wants to accommodate themselves, fit in, bow their heads, conform to all this. And among those who want to fight back, not everyone wants to put their trust in political parties, trade unions, pressure groups, activists, university career-critics, community leaders, official organisations, federations, large social movements.

Some make the choice of individual revolt which can spread. These ideas and acts of rebellion have nothing to say to those in power, but instead speak directly to raging hearts. Each one in struggle to unleash their own freedom, breathing life into a self-organised struggle for the freedom of all.

This is what we want to explore in the South London Anarchist Bookfair – with discussions and publications, delving into ideas which are outside of time, outside of measure and popularity, out of control. We want to share and explore our choices in the struggle against power in all its disguises, here and now.

Fundraiser: Support Bristol Defendant Solidarity – UK

Posted on 2025/06/26 - 2025/06/26 by darknights

Bristol Defendant Solidarity (BDS) is calling for your support and solidarity in a crucial time of need.

https://chuffed.org/project/bds

For years, BDS has been a steadfast ally to those battling with the legal system due to their involvement in protest, resistance, and direct action. We also support those who have been arrested and targeted by violent, discriminatory policing or suffered other state repression.

Over the past few years, we’ve supported almost 100 people targeted following the ‘Kill the Bill’ demonstration on 21st March 2021. The community’s response was phenomenal: your support and donations have been a powerful display of collective defiance and solidarity. But we still need your help to enable us to provide consistent, ongoing and meaningful support to many defendants facing state retribution.

Four years on, the repression remains relentless. So too must our solidarity. KTB defendants are still facing court cases and serving lengthy sentences, while the police enjoy their impunity. Continue reading “Fundraiser: Support Bristol Defendant Solidarity – UK” →

Bristol, UK: CCTV cameras and solar panels destroyed at GRC Security protected site

Posted on 2025/05/02 - 2025/04/30 by darknights

28th April 2025

We chose a soft target, a warm up to bigger things. Easy like throwing a dart into a grapefruit!

Around Bristol G.R.C. Security (now linked to Cava Security) have been pissing off travellers for quite a few years, carrying out common law evictions, using their bulk weight violence, the law and threats of fire. So one place they guard and partol is the old mounted police and dog section, now owned by the Caravan Club, which is situated on Clanage Rd., Bower, Ashton at the foot of the Clifton suspension bridge. It was really easy to scale the perimeter fence with identity concealed, then finding a long plank of wood to batter the CCTV cameras and solar panels.

Also a little dickie bird whispered on the ‘grapefruit’ vine that at the Brandon Hill ‘old’ cop shop eviction one of Cava Security’s vehicles lost some air from their tyres. Keep your eyes open for those dart boards!

Long Live Vandalism!

Bristol, UK: Windows smashed of BAM construction offices

Bristol, UK: Windows smashed of BAM construction offices

On 16th February we decided instead of partaking in the vomit enducing show of ‘romantic capitalism’ to break the windows of BAM construction in Stoke Gifford, Bristol.

BAM construction are one of the biggest construction companies internationally, who contribute to the Leviathan nightmare. We’re sick of seeing their lifeless glass and concrete buildings everywhere, there’s nothing wild and natural about these smart cityscapes.

BAM have their artificial hands on nearly every construction project you can name. Our minds cast back to their involvement in the construction of a ‘humane prison’ Dedermonde in Belgium. More locally they built the new Engineering building at the University of West England that contains its new robotics lab & they are also responsible for helping to construct the new ‘Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone.’ Another brick in the transformation of Bristol into a silicon valley of the UK, where technological and scientific startups along with hubs will be let to reign free. If this wasn’t enough BAM have been chosen as one of the key partners for the ‘UK Small Modular Reactors (SMR) Programme’. We laugh cynically at the idea that the UK state is implementing a net zero carbon target or even tackling climate change with this charade that shows ‘green capitalism’ is an absolute lie, just a displacement of ecological destruction elsewhere, whether it is the lithium extraction plant in Cornwall or nuclear waste from these mini Fukushimas. Clean power our arses!

“Leviathan is turning into Narcissus, admiring its own synthetic image in
its own synthetic pond, enraptured by its spectacle of itself.
It is a good time for people to let go of its sanity, its masks and
armors, and go mad, for they are already being ejected from its pretty
polis.”

POSTER : REBELLION IS THE EXPLOSIVE URGENCY OF PUTTING OURSELVES ON THE LINE (LONDON,UK)

OBEDIENCE IS A PROGRAMMED, ORDERED EXISTENCE

REBELLION IS THE EXPLOSIVE URGENCY OF PUTTING OURSELVES ON THE LINE

An untimely blast in an Athens apartment on the 31st of October left an anarchist dead and another seriously wounded. In a millisecond the preparation of a single liberatory attack on one aspect of domination expands into a wide panorama of the social war.

With a resounding blast the struggle is upturned, its hitherto anonymous players thrown into the forefront of the clash. Shock and anguish invade our hearts and minds for the death of Kyriakos Xymitiris and the wounding of Marianna Manoura – well-known, esteemed comrades active in the many-faceted anarchist struggle in Greece and beyond – but so does resolve and unwavering complicity. Immediately an alchemy of rebel love and defiance surges forth, overrunning the borders by which states segment their control over this ruined earth.
