Countering the trend towards fascism can take many shapes and forms but it cannot take the form of a blind faith support in the status quo and mainstream elite as has been argued for too long

Some thoughts @reacpolrn.bsky.social on the latest developments in the UK

Statement regarding our action against the EHRC's London HQ
THE EHRC IS A HATE GROUP. THIS MONTH, THE GOOD LAW PROJECT FORCED THE EHRC TO DUMP THEIR TRANSPHOBIC "INTERIM GUIDANCE". LAST WEEK, 6 HUMAN-RIGHTS GROUPS DEMANDED THE EHRC HAVE THEIR A-STATUS REMOVED DUE TO AN "OBSESSIVE CAMPAIGN TO STRIP TRANS PEOPLE OF OUR RIGHTS". DESPITE THIS - AND DESPITE INTERNATIONAL OUTRAGE - THEY STILL INTEND TO PUSH THEIR GUIDANCE (SEGREGATING TRANS PEOPLE OUT OF ALL SINGLE-SEX SPACES) TO GOVERNMENT. WE TOOK ACTION AGAINST THE EHRC'S LONDON OFFICE TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE: WE WILL NOT OBEY THEIR "GUIDANCE". THE TIDE IS TURNING. DO YOU SEE US NOW? DON'T ENDORSE HATE. WE DEMAND THAT ALL ORGANISATIONS DROP THE EHRC'S EXCLUSIONARY ANTI-TRANS "GUIDANCE". WE DEMAND FORA DROP THE EHRC AS TENANTS. EXERCISE YOUR FREE WILL. STAND UP FOR TRANS PEOPLE. BASH BACK.

STATEMENT ON BASH BACK ACTION AGAINST FILIA (9/10/25) LAST NIGHT, ACTIONISTS FROM BASH BACK TOOK ACTION AGAINST THE BRIGHTON CENTRE, VENUE OF THE FILIA CONFERENCE, WHICH PLAYS HOST TO SOME OF THE MOST VICIOUS TRANSPHOBIA IN POP POLITICS. FILIA'S SPEAKERS THIS YEAR INCLUDE BIGOT-PROVOCATEURS JULIE BINDEL, LGB ALLIANCE AND "SCOTTISH LESBIANS" - A GROUP BEHIND THE SEGREGATIONIST 2025 SUPREME COURT RULING. THEIR VILE AND HATEFUL RHETORIC LEADS TO THE SAME KIND OF DISCRIMINATORY VIOLENCE THAT KILLS HUNDREDS OF TRANS PEOPLE EVERY YEAR. THESE BIGOTS HAVE OUR BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS. THEY USE THIS CONFERENCE TO GLOAT. THIS YEAR, WE WILL NOT LET THEM. STATEMENT ON BASH BACK ACTION AGAINST FILIA (CONT.) BASH BACK SEES FILIA AS NEITHER RADICAL NOR FEMINIST, SPREADING MISOGYNIST HATRED BACKED BY BOTH BILLIONAIRES AND THE STATE.

TO THE ORGANISERS OF FILIA WE SAY THIS: IF YOU EXPECT TO CONTINUE IN YOUR TRADE OF TRANSPHOBIC HATE, IF YOU EXPECT TO CONTINUE IN YOUR QUEERBASHING AND TRANSMISOGYNY AND CALL IT "FEMINISM" THEN EXPECT RESISTANCE, EXPECT RETALIATION, EXPECT US. PAINT WASHES OFF. BLOOD NEVER DOES.

Bash back have sent us this statement
TRANS ACTIONISTS TARGET ANTI-TRANS CONFERENCE Trans direct action group "BASH BACK" accuses FiLiA of having "blood on their hands" Last night - October 9th - actionists representing trans direct action group BASH BACK took action against the Brighton Centre, host of this year's FILIA conference, which begins its 10th annual event today. Actionists from BASH BACK - which took action against Health Secretary Wes Streeting in August smashed windows and sprayed pink paint on the Brighton Centre building in protest at the anti-trans views expressed by FiLiA attendees. The group's objective was to prove trans people will not be intimidated, saying that FiLiA should "expect retaliation" if they continue. A spokesperson for BASH BACK said: "Despite presenting itself as a feminist conference with 'zero tolerance [...] for transphobia', FiLiA plays host to some of the most vicious transphobia in modern pop-politics. "The conference's notable alumni include JK Rowling and Maya Forstater, and this year feature bigot-provocateurs such as Julie Bindel, LGBAlliance and Transgender Trend, as well as Jenny Wilmott, director of Scottish Lesbians - one of the groups responsible for this year's segregationist and transphobic Supreme Court ruling. "Speakers at FiLiA claim to advocate for 'protecting women's spaces' and 'sex based rights' but routinely advocate for the erasure of women's bodily autonomy and self determination. Their vile and hateful rhetoric that seeks to exclude and erase us leads to the same kind of discriminatory violence that kills hundreds of trans people every year. Far from outsider radicals, the bigots at FiLiA are backed by billionaires like J.K. Rowling, fundamentalist Christian groups, and the Labour government itself. This is the norm, and we will rise against it. To save ourselves, to save our community. To fight for our right to exist. "Bindel, Wilmott and FiLiA itself have our blood on their hands, and for years they have sought a stage to gloat about it. This year, we will not allow them the privilege. "BASH BACK recognises the speakers at FiLiA as neither radical nor feminist, and, like the suffragettes and radical queers before us, that the only path toward liberation is through action." The BASH BACK spokesperson added: The BASH BACK spokesperson added: "To the organisers of FiLiA we say this: If you expect to continue in your trade of transphobic hate, if you expect to continue in your queerbashing and transmisogyny and call it 'feminism', then expect resistance, expect retaliation, expect us. Paint washes off, but blood never does." Notes to editors BASH BACK is a trans-led direct action project focused on "total transgender liberation", and has previously taken action against Health Secretary Wes Streeting and private prison firm Sodexo.

🚨 ALERT: Police Scotland is developing plans to use live facial recognition technology

Facial recognition tech:
🕵️ is mass surveillance
❌ is NOT compatible with Scotland’s human rights obligations
⚠️ disproportionately impacts racialised communities

We need to oppose this: amn.st/6008AqWA0
Police Scotland has decided move ahead with the use of Live Facial Recognition technology by law enforcement in Scotland. Amnesty firmly opposes the use of this dangerous technology.

Anarchism is a way to be a grown-up, politically. Really. You don't outsource your politics to a leader or set of leaders, you do it yourself, on a level playing field with your comrades. Political parties are a waste of time.
