In more uplifting news, we've been dazzled and impressed by Oswald Repents; a local website for local people, focused on issues in the Bawdewsell area. Covering topics truly relevant to local people, like the parish football club, social events, the need for volunteers at the village hall, but with a radical commentary throughout , it's an example of a really excellent grass-root anarchist enterprise. It's not often you see a quote by Buenaventura Durruti next to a report on a Tractor Run to raise money for a village hall! It bought to mind another favourite local website of ours, Bedford Bypass who also mix local issues and anarchist politics in an accessible and engaging manner. If only anarchists in every village, town and city were engaging and participating in local issues in this way. If only we at Now or Never! weren't too busy drinking our own urine , watching zombie porn and making prison hooch to do something worthwhile. If only, if only....
Recently, some of us at Now or Never! were saddened to learn of the death of an old friend from our animal rights days. Speaking to comrades from long ago times at her funeral reminded us of just how relevant hunt sabbing still is to challenging blood sports and encourage you to find out more and look into contacting your local hunt sab group

Valiums have been taken, panic attacks averted, paper bags breathed into and the toys are all safely back in the pram - Now or Never! # 20 not only looks like it's going to make it to the printers on schedule but also seems set to be a absolute corker of a issue - albiet one full mainly focussed on prison, riots, prison riots and homeopathy. We've just recieved the final artwork for the cover by the brilliant Zak Gardner and can't wait to unveil it in all its glory very soon - watch this space!
We were all overcome to see the launch of the fantastic Bedford Bypass , a website well worth a browse no matter your location. Our hearts were especially a-flutter as they very kindly describe Now or Never! as a contiuous inspiration. Given that to our knowledge we have so far only inspired self-loathing in ourselves and a sense of disgust and embarrassment in the wider anarchist community, we were everso pleased to discover that, hurrah, we aren't horrible cunts after all! Although flicking through the contents of the next issue, maybe we are. Bedford Bypass also mention Ian Bone as an inspiration and we're long overdue to give him a bit of a mention. A very belated one at that, given that he interviewed us on Resonance FM about two years ago, but hey, it's the thought that counts - like the most out of date, tokenistic birthday card ever. And on that note, you should probably check out Paul Stott whilst you're browsing vintage Class War members. |
