			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.freedompress.org.uk/news/wp-content/uploads/Freedom-ARB.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-19534" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Freedom - ARB" src="http://www.freedompress.org.uk/news/wp-content/uploads/Freedom-ARB-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="185" /></a>The recently formed Alliance of Radical Booksellers (ARB), of which <em>Freedom</em> is one of the founding members, is going from strength to strength. There are now twenty member organisations which means there is a growing trend for outlets defining themselves by the nature of their stock, and are coming together to support and  encourage the growth and promotion of radical political literature.<br />
<span id="more-21518"></span><br />
This can only be a good thing. Despite the decline in independent bookshops, in no small part to the monopoly of Amazon&#8217;s internet presence, people are still buying and reading books. The fact that they continue to buy political books from a political environment is something to be celebrated.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Along with the new members ARB is also involved in organising a brand new literary award. The Bread and Roses Award is an independent annual award for the best radical book published each year. The aim is to promote the publication of radical books, to raise the profile of radical publishing, and to reward exceptional work.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A prize of £1000 will be made to a writer of fiction (including work aimed at young people), non-fiction, graphic material or poetry. A shortlist of up to six books will be announced in March of each year and promoted through bookshops and the radical press. The judges for the 2012 Bread and Roses Award will be acclaimed poet Michael Rosen, academic and author Nina Power and Madeline Heneghan Festival Director for Writing on the Wall.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Unfortunately <em>Freedom</em> didn&#8217;t submit any nominations from our recent publications so we won&#8217;t be shortlisted, however we will endeavor to celebrate and promote the winners of the prestigious award.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>2012 the year of state repression</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.freedompress.org.uk/news/wp-content/uploads/Freedom-counter-2012-olympics.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-21078" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Freedom - counter 2012 olympics" src="http://www.freedompress.org.uk/news/wp-content/uploads/Freedom-counter-2012-olympics-300x211.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="211" /></a>Between 27th July and 12th August the Olympic Games will be held in the UK. Predominantly based in and around London, but also including Coventry, Manchester, Cardiff, Newcastle and Glasgow, the organisers boast it will be &#8220;the biggest global event of the year&#8221; already declaring it a cultural and economic success.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It is a major investment for both the government and their financial backers. The games will produce an enormous amount of private revenue yet the burden of paying for the infrastructure rests on the public purse. The cost of the opening ceremony alone has topped the £80m mark, with the total spending budget of public money officially exceeding £9.3 billion, with rumours of it reaching £20bn by the end of the summer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">What the Olympics Games is set to reveal is the lengths the state will go to ensure it maintains social peace in the run up to, and for the duration of, the games. This will come at a heavy price for those who value civil liberties.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The government is under contract to the International Olympic Committee &#8211; a private corporation, with the Prime Minister signing a guarantee to deliver on the &#8216;the safety and security&#8217; of the Games. From now until July the police will be testing the legalities of their powers with a substantial intrusion into our lives to justify preserving the &#8216;security&#8217; of the event. This is the internal shock doctrine of a neo-liberal state. The excessive and repressive measures used against groups, dissenting voices, radicals and activists will become normalised to be used again in a time of social crisis. For the security services and police the Olympics is an exercise in maintaining control when burdened with massive social ruptures.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Over the past two years a slurry of official documents have been published by the coalition government, signed by both Cameron and Clegg, that reinforce the policy of state intrusion to monitor risks to &#8220;our national security&#8221; and perhaps more chillingly &#8220;our values&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To understand the nature of these documents is to understand the political agenda the coalition government is pursuing and how that fits in with the Olympic strategy as a testing ground for a domestic shock doctrine.  In a document presented to Parliament in October 2010 called &#8220;A Strong Britain in an Age of Uncertainty: The National Security Strategy&#8217; the tone is extraordinarily concise:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;Globalisation has opened up possibilities which previous generations could not have dreamed of and is lifting billions out of poverty. More open markets mean more open societies, and more open societies mean more people living in freedom. These developments are unambiguously in Britain’s national interest&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And further down: &#8220;we need to build a much closer relationship between government, the private sector and the public when it comes to national security&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It is clear that national security is inextricably tied to economic interests and the real legacy of Olympics is an opportunity to introduce all manner of laws and police tactics that would not be allowed to pass under normal circumstances. 2012 maybe the year the state hits back.</p>
