A friend's father is in Remetinec prison in Zagreb, Croatia, after accepting a driving job that turned out to be a scam. I've never met the guy but all my friends and comrades from Romania say he's a cool Dad and Lori is a sweetie. If you can help please do. www.instagram.com/p/DeZV8Nsind...

If you were around the UK anarchist scene in the 1980's you'll remember the cool little Spectacular Times booklets that explained situationist anarchism in a series of little zines. We've reprinted the whole lot and put them in a fancy box! Essential! www.activedistributionshop.org/product/spec...

More posters from the 56a Infoshop archive. If you want to see more let me know! 56a.org.uk

A classic from the early 1990’s(?) An Overall Brigade reworking of a Clifford Harper design/story printed on A2 card with a gloss finish.

The SWF grew out of the old Anarchist Federation of the 1950’s and then became the Direct Action Movement in 1979, so this timeless poster is at least 47 years old!!
