It was the long hot hot summer of 1976. I was in London for a few days. I’d spent the past 17 years of my life living in the countryside – see it here Now I was in West 11 looking for my hippy heaven underneath the Westway – the place where Hawkwind and the […]
Complete Control Dunno why Al stuck this up…but I have hijacked the post and stuck some meat onto the bones via one of the most uplifting songs ever put onto plastic…Penguin x
Note: this link’s to Tony’s piece on the Anarchist United Mystics/ St. James St squat. The sun is not shining today in south west Scotland, so my son Callum is annoyed. Which means not much time to more than sketch this out. What I would like to do is make a link between the criticism […]
Break on thru to the other side… After blogging away in greengalloway for nearly three years now, the speed at which KYPP moves is disconcerting. Instead of one or two occasional comments, there are hundreds here and it can be difficult to keep up. (Must be old age, will be 50 this year). So I […]

Amongst these letters, to which I did my best to reply, was the following, to which I did not reply. AL Puppy Please […]
Going through my greengalloway archives and found film about the Persons Unknown Anarchist Conspiracy Trial. See it here It has a short clip of Crass playing (Conway Hall?) Also footage of Stuart Christie in Orkney running his ‘anarchist publishing project’. If it hadn’t been for the Persons Unknown trial there would have been no Wapping […]
Anarchy, conspiracy- its just a click away, its just a click away An A in a circle, spray painted on walls in city streets, is the nearest most citizens come into contact with anarchism. The media spectacle that the anarchists themselves find comic and tragic, has no room in its schedules for the ideas and […]
Ok, here we go now, this really is another sociology lecture …by Richard Cross, ex Metro Youth ( from Exeter, on Bullshit Detector 2). It was published in Socialist History magazine in 2004. Rich is working on a book on Crass and Anarcho-Punk 1978- 1984 for AK Press, due out this year and has […]
