After a long and indefinate hiatus, we have decided to go back on the air to bring you voices from a recent demonstration held by Tyneside Community Activists for Refugees and Fight Racism, Fight Imperialism – two very reputable organisations doing fantastic work. Please support them.

"On Saturday 20th June 2009 Tyneside Community Action for Refugees (TCAR) organised a Northern March Against Immigration Prisons. The march was planned to fall during Refugee Week to expose the reality of how refugees and other migrants are treated in British detention centres. However, due to the horrific attacks on peaceful hunger strikers in Yarlswood Detention Centre during the previous week, the march had a specific focus of solidarity with those detainees.

Around fifty anti-racist protesters assembled in front of Centre for Life in Newcastle, undeterred by the showers. The weather was not the main concern as the marchers learnt that a group of twenty fascists had attacked the preparations for the Speak Out Against Racism at Grey’s Monument, ripping down TCAR’s banner from the Monument, kicking over a stall and shoving an activist before heading off towards Central Station. The last TCAR march faced a fascist counter-protest and so stewards on this march were well organised in advance to respond to any fascist presence."

As mentioned, next month we will have special guests on the show. How very exciting.

Further, we announced that we would be releasing some audio in May, but the project unfortunately has hit a lot of stumbling points. We hope to still make this available at some point in the near future. To make up for these consistent let downs by us, we have decided to release two songs for download. They are by a fairly new band called Broken Few – featurng ex-members of The Mercury League and Uni Wrong and a current member of Former Cell Mates. If you click the discog link, you will have access to these files (which incidentally will soon be remastered!).
