This set of three links.

I would love to believe that something would come of this. I just don't have it in me any more. The vision has become a fiction; I can believe in it right up to the moment when I have to engage with the real world, and then it becomes unsustainable in the face of the fact that greed and hate have won, overwhelmingly. And this in spite of Obama's Presidency (which has done some good and may still bear some hopeful fruit but seems to be taking an awful long time about it) and the closest approach to a non-Tory, non-"new" Labour government this country has ever or could ever come, thrown into the rubbish by the non-Liberal non-Democratic leadership, who are still, by some amazing freak of nature, in charge of their party and not rubbing their backsides where the door caught them. (Their spring conference is going on as we speak. Expect no change.)

Next Saturday UK Uncut in Bristol are turning a bank into a library (presumably just for the day, sadly). I don't even have to try to think of all the reasons why it wouldn't be practical for us to go, but I hope it will be a success and achieve its objective, and if this is a genuine movement for good, I wish it well with all my bruised and battered heart.
