Keeping very roughly to our monthly schedule of articles on anarchism in Suffolk, today we're looking at H2O in broke and broken Britain.

Anglia Water’s quiet dumping scandal

It’s taken a volunteer group of testers to keep an eye on some quite startling poisoning of the Gipping in recent months.

It's a little outside our patch, just over the border in Norfolk, but the violence which has been taking place against working class people is just another expression of a lethal moral panic the far-right has been stoking for years. There is no policy that will placate them because their end goal >>

Notes on a "rally" held by the far-right transphobe in Ipswich today.

The underwhelming Posie Parker roadshow

"Something something PENIS" yelled over and over again like a Freudian tic, plus a dozen crumpled hangers-on, speaks more of a desperate need for attention than a political project.

Join us this weekend for Last Sunday Cinema, and a showing of Love & Anarchy! 7pm Jan 25th at the Quaker Meeting House on Fonnereau Road, Ipswich. In 1930s fascist Italy an anarchist farmer stays in Rome brothel while preparing to assassinate Benito Mussolini, but falls for a co-conspirator ...

Good bit of work this week posting around 300 4-page flyers through Ipswich letterboxes, telling folks who we are, what we want, and about our next four months of Last Sunday Cinema showings ...

Join us for a trans DIY HRT harm reduction workshop on the 11th of January at 7pm at the Ipswich Quaker Meeting House on Fonnereau Road. We'll be running a peer-led support and information session for trans+ people with help from the Cambridge based Moth group.

Happy New Year all and hope you had a lovely bit of time off! We'll be back shortly with our upcoming list of Last Sunday Cinema selections, plus workshops, stalls and all that good stuff, but in the meantime here's a little preview of our cracking new in-progress banner ❤️🖤

Well that's embarrassing for them ... University of Suffolk comes 131st out of 147 on the climate and social justice league table this year, with an ethical investment scheme that comes in somewhere between blood diamonds and summoning the actual devil.

One of our members has picked up a bunch of the new issue of Freedom Anarchist Journal while on a trip to London - anybody who wants one let us know while we still have some to give away!

There's something particularly pathetic about the Reform offering for Norfolk-Suffolk mayor. David Bick works in the sports industry but likes to cosplay as a tweed-suited farmhouse aristo. A long-time London Tory with even less loyalty than is usual among that type. Change? What change? ~S

It's our last free film screening of the year this Sunday! The Estallido Social (Social Explosion) was a popular uprising in Chile in 2019. What began as a student campaign of transit fare evasions quickly spread into a nationwide uprising.

Join us for a very important workshop on eviction resistance this Sunday at 2pm at the Quaker Meeting House. These are crucial skills for protecting people from authoritarian violence so now is the time to learn them.

Join us for the first session of our new anarchist book club on the 23rd of November. Helping us get around to reading when we're too damn busy fighting the forces of capital.

Tonight! Free food and film with friendly folks, 7pm at the Quaker Meeting House 🙂

One talk at the Peterborough Radical Bookfair on Saturday was by @copscampaign.bsky.social and @spiesoutoflives.bsky.social about the whole disgusting Spycops saga, and the Inquiry. They're doing a reactions series to the most recent tranche of statements here: www.youtube.com/@copscampaig...

The idea of Jack Abbott MP building anything more complicated than a sandcastle is objectively funny.

Anglia Water claiming "it ain't us guv" while having the worst record of any water company for sewage dumping is a real eyebrow raiser. Oh and they're also trying to get the biggest price hike for cleaning it all up. Gipping the piss, this lot. #Suffolk www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/2551609...

‘Disgusting’ footage of sewage leaking into Suffolk rivers revealed

Footage by Save the Gipping show pollution and spills in Ipswich, Needham Market and Stowmarket along the River Gipping, according to campaigners.
