Every morning I wake up on

The wrong side of capitalism

Unexpected sights at the ESF

  • The Sparticus League trying to sell Workers’ Hammer outside the anarchist/autonomist (self-)organised space at Middlesex University. Old Cambridge hands may be interested to know that I vaguely thought I recognised the Sparticist (singular) in question, only later realising that the guy reminded me of James Ferner, onetime SWP head-honcho of this parish. What a crazy turn that would be.
  • A security guard at the Camden Centre getting into an earnest conversation with a member of sans papier cultural organisation No Vox, over the merits of French hip-hop. They laughed at MC Solaar, and bonded over a shared appreciation of NTM. Speaking of which, isn’t it wierd that the most-played rap record on Radio 1 of recent times, ‘Guns don’t kill people…’ features a sample from ‘Nic la police’, the song which legendarily got NTM arrested?
  • (Not strictly at the ESF) Chris Moyles playing a cover version of Harry Belafonte’s ‘From a logical point of view’ every day on his radio show.
