The press called him “perverted”. The police called him “sick and beneath contempt”. Even the Prime Minister was “utterly revolted”. But he’s proved them all wrong. Now Tintin’s back with all his pals, battling it out against the State and bringing the old world to its knees, in a classic full-length story of love, struggle and revolution.

This book describes the famous clash of 1936 between police and anti-fascists when Sir Oswald Mosley and his Blackshirt army attempted to march through largely Jewish Stepney in East London. 100,000 people crowded the streets, barricades were erected and the area successfully defended.

Taking its cue from the 2005 Palestinian call for ‘boycott, divestment and sanctions’ (BDS), the rationale behind the book is simple: to provide a tool and a compass for BDS campaigners by showing them information on Israeli and international companies complicit in Israeli apartheid, occupation and militarism.

Workmates: direct action workplace organising on the London Underground
Pamphlet
Price: £2.00
Solidarity Federation
» Order or buy in store
In the late 1990s, plans to outsource track maintenance on the London Underground were being pushed through by the government. Workers at one depot responded by forming a new workplace group, both inside and outside the existing union, the RMT. This pamphlet charts the highs and lows of the Workmates collective, highlighting their successes and failures, their radically democratic organising method and their creative forms of direct action. We hope it can provide an inspiration to other workers frustrated with the limits of the existing workplace organisations.
