Faslane.

    

         The Faslane Peace Camp, as far as I am aware, is the longest running peace camp in the world. It sits across the road from the UK's nuclear submarine base at Faslane. This year marks the 40th anniversary of its continuous presence across the road from the nuclear submarine base gates.
          To mark this monumental 40th anniversary Spirit of Revolt are holding an event as a mark of support for the Peace Camp and its aims. It is a free event, and takes place on Thursday 2 June, 5:15-7:15pm in the Blythswood Room at the Mitchell Library, level 5. enter via Granville Street.
         On display will be photos, newspaper cuttings and leaflets etc. from Spirit of Revolt's Faslane Peace Camp Collection. Come along and show your support for this 40 year continuous fight for a peaceful world. Join the discussion, chat about what you think of the situation today. Today more than ever, we need to come together in a strong anti-war, peace movement, as the world teeters on the brink of another catastrophic war.

        With headlines like this, peace movements and anti-war movements are not a choice, but an necessity.

History.

 

           For the May “Read of the Month”  Spirit of Revolt brings up another wee gem from the past, by J. Britz. A small pamphlet, Crisis in the Communist Party. This is from our Les Foster Collection, T/SOR/36/23/13, well worth a read. Of course one of the reasons we do this “Read of the  Month” is not just to bring you these priceless pieces from the past, but to encourage you to browse through the anarchist and libertarian socialist history of Glasgow and Clydeside. A rich well of the struggles of the ordinary people for that better world for all. We can always lean from our history, and it is essential that we record and make easily available that history. I think it was George Orwell that said, I paraphrase here, “The best we to destroy a people is to destroy their history”. So delve, enjoy, learn, spread the word.
