Mutual aid and big ideas in East Anglia. North of Essex. No you've gone too far that's Norfolk. To the right of Cambridge ... theeeere you go. Yeah that's us, looks like a medieval shoe someone left lying around.

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 ...

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?

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.

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:

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

Can you "steal" spammed leaflets? I'd have thought they're there for whoever happens to pick them up. ~s

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

Coming up this Sunday, 7pm at the Quaker Meeting House, Ipswich, our next screening will be Libertarias.

During the Spanish Civil War, a nun attempts to flee Barcelona but is instead drawn into the struggle of the Mujeres Libres.

All welcome, free entry (donations welcome) with discussion after!

Obviously we're not electoralists, but saddening to see Your Party's MPs stuffing up their project, especially when it had so much enthusiasm at grassroots level. Hope everyone involved in the various nascent local branches don't get discouraged - there's still loads that can and should be done!

Coming up on Sunday evening we'll be soft launching our DIY education series: First up will be a freeform workshop on how we engage with (or simply de-escalate) political conflict in group situations.

Give us a bell if you fancy coming along for it! [email protected]

Well done everyone who put the pressure on to get the white power gig in Great Yarmouth cancelled! That's 500 very disappointed boneheads.

Ahead of our first Last Sunday film showing (on Sunday), as the Quakers didn't have a sound system we've scrounged one together and donated it for anybody to use 🎵.

Matewan is showing 7pm, free entry with discussion (and possibly cake) afterwards. It's a story of epic union struggle.
August 25, 2025 at 9:08 AM
Look what arrived! Being thrifty and environmentally conscious sorts we not only sorted our Last Sunday Cinema list several months ahead so the flyers will stay relevant, we also put a little intro to Suffolk Anarchists on the back 😎. Come along to the Quaker House 7pm Sunday after next and say hi!

Oh look, the Tory who made himself wildly unpopular by grabbing the Suffolk library system is now weaponising that control to attack free expression.
