Wyndford school occupation – Water cut off by council – parents get litres of water donated in solidarity and organise water party!

‘The Wyndford  & St Gregory’s United, will never be divided’

Today 30^th June 2009 at 9.00am the water supply at Wyndford primary school was cut off in a bid to remove the peaceful responsible save our school parents.  The current situation is, little water left for hygiene and toileting facilities which then brings in the issue of infection control, which is particularly highlighted during this tropical weather spell and heightens the likelihood of infections i.e. swine flu and food poisoning. Drinking water is also limited.

Rally of Support For Schools Occupation

Around 100 people braved the weather today to support the parents occupying Wyndford and St Gregories primaries in Maryhill, Glasgow.

Parents Occupy Wyndford and St Gregories Primaries

Parents have today occupied Wyndford and St Gregories primary.
In response to the councils threat to close 25 primaries and nurseries parents today took matters into their own hands and took possession of the schools.
At first police were threatening to use force to enter the building, secured shut by the parents, and to bodily remove them. However the large presence of supportive parents outside the school certainly dissuaded them from that course of action.
There will be a demonstration in support of the occupation at midday tomorrow.
People are also needed to put in shifts at the occupation.
The threat of closure of these schools affects all of us not just the parents and kids. It is a direct attack on all our communities.
See you there!

Locked In!!!

Safe as houses, well safer than it was now someone is standing up to the council!

Anarchist Discussion Group

It seems there is an ever growing interest in the ideas of Anarchists and as such it has been suggested that it would be a good idea to have a regular discussion group. This would be a place where we could ask questions of one another as well as exploring the key concepts and proposals of anarchism.
