"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." - Radiohead

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."

Features - 2008-2011 - An online-outlet to publish articles which were longer than the 1200-odd word limit of a SchNEWS front page.

Satire - A repository of satirical graphics and other comedy material produced by SchNEWS.
