"Definitely one of the best party and protest sites to come out of the UK. Updated weekly,
brilliantly written, bleakly humourous, and essential reading for anyone who gives
a shit. And we all should."

ADDITIONAL WEBSITE SECTIONS
Book And Film Reviews - 2005-2009 - SchNEWS tries its hand at book and film reviews.
SchNEWS
Of The World - August 2002 - nearly all the extra articles especially
written for the book - including colour pics - plus some of the
satire, subverts and cartoons.
Monopolise
Resistance - Sept 2001 - in September 2001 - before 9-11 - SchNEWS published a pamphlet about
Globalise Resistance - the Socialist Worker Party (SWP) 'front'
group who were muscling in on the burgeoning global anti-capitalist
movement. The text in full is reproduced, plus there's PDF copies
to download, plus 'Vampire Alert' - another pamphlet about the same
subject on PDF.
SchNEWS
Gandalf 6 Trial - Nov 1998 - read about the trial from 1997-98 where
six people - five people who wrote for the radical magazine Green
Anarchist plus the press officer for the ALF (hence GAndALF 6) were
arrested and charged with 'conspiracy to incite criminal damage'
for reporting direct action.
Worst Britons - May 2003 - In January 2003 we had the idea of doing a 'Worst Britons' poll, to form the basis for a satirical article in our
next book. Then, after we'd put the competition up on this website
we found out that Channel 4 were doing the same thing - and even
using the same name (the only difference was that their Britons
had to still be alive). We thought that had blown our idea, and
promptly forgot about the online poll we had set up, though meanwhile
plenty of people voted online. Channel 4 broadcast their results
and it was so piss weak (Jordan coming in at no. 2...) that we thought
we'd kick ours off again. Here's the result.
Bilderberg
Papers - 1999 - Don't ask us how we got hold of these - "This
booklet is an account of the 1999 Bilderberg Meeting and is distributed
only to participants of this and past conferences and to prospective
participants of future conferences. It represents a summary of
the panellists' opening remarks for each session, and of the
comments and interventions in the subsequent discussion."
