Several previous issues have sought to explore the possibilities and limitations of popular intervention in these fields. In ANARCHY 24 on “Housing and Helplessness” we analysed the significance of the post-war squatters’ movement—far and away the most significant example of such intervention. In ANARCHY 26 Brian Richardson discussed the implications of the demonstration at Newington Lodge, the County Council Reception Centre in London. In ANARCHY 35 on “House and Home” we looked at the significance of the demonstration over the Cobb eviction in Paddington, and in ANARCHY 37 J. D. Gilbert-Rolfe described similar action in Tunbridge Wells. In ANARCHY 41 Robert Swann discussed Direct Action and the Urban Environment, in ANARCHY 58 Brian Richardson reported on the King Hill Hostel struggle, and on the basis of the experience there set out in ANARCHY 67 a plan for a Co-operative Hostel for the Homeless, while in ANARCHY 77 on “Do-it-Yourself Anarchism” Andy Anderson examined the political meaning of the King Hill campaign.
ANARCHY 84 next month, on “The Lower Depths” looks further at other aspects of poverty. The material which we present in ANARCHY is not intended as bedside reading but as the groundwork for informed and effective action. Use It!
