Corbyn, Brexit, And "Red-Brown" Confusionism Of EU Opponents

With the second rise of UKIP, the toxic rallies for Tommy Robinson, and the normalisation of genuine fascists like Steve Bannon by British radio shows and Gammon-baiter Piers Morgan, the far-right is seemingly gaining more ground in Britain than ever, and – in a moment of “literal communism” and manifestations against Trump – the tone of the Brexit debate has thus become increasingly – how would I put it? – divisive. The battle flags have been unfurled, and, especially after the release of convincing reports on fraud by Team Leave during the referendum, it is becoming seemingly impossible for a left-winger to approve of Brexit publicly, let alone make a case for it. Which is why Jeremy Corbyn’s speech last week saw comments across the board that he was echoing the language of UKIP and Trump, and even becoming the “far-right’s new hero.” Combined with the scare over anti-Semitism (a reactionary tradition), one could be forgiven for believing that the leader of the opposition w...

Eco Activist Who Hacked Billboard To Protest TTIP And CETA Deals Faces Fines, Prison

This text is translated from Friends of the Earth Belgium and is intended to draw awareness of the ongoing case https://www.amisdelaterre.be/soutien-au-proces-des-ecrans-ttip-game-over  Following the subversion of digital billboards to show messages against free trade agreements in July 2016, an activist is being prosecuted for sabotage and hacking, and faces jail time as well as a heavy fine.

#NoG20: High-Tech Repression And "Left Extremist Database" In Europe

A process of ongoing high-level cooperation between European governments following the G20 in Hamburg this time last year has led to the creation of a "black bloc task force," as well as what appears to be a Europe-wide digital database of so-called "left wing extremists" based on a dubious and toxic ideological framework, according to a series of articles, activist commentary, and government documents. Over the past few months, a huge number of activists from Switzerland, Denmark, Greece, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Belgium, Austria, France and Germany have been arrested by police in conjunction with the G20 protests. The raids in Italy, Spain, France and Switzerland were conducted by a "black bloc task force," according to DW. The black bloc task force, DW says, has been "combing through terabytes of police footage, CCTV recordings, and private videos with the help of facial recognition software and geolocation data." It has been disclosed al...
