Class War issue 81: Notes From The Borderland
Magazine, issue 3, from Class War or from Larry O'Hara, BM Box 4769, London WC1N 3XX.
Notes From The Borderland goes from strength to strength. This issue contains the first detailed, serious analysis of the 1999 nailbomb campaign in London, as opposed to the police/Searchlight sponsored analysis provided elsewhere. Given one of the survivors of the Soho bomb is taking legal action over the police's failure to prevent the bomb, this promises to be the first chapter in a story of national significance.
Londoners will find the analysis of the Lawrence enquiry by Russell Miller equally ground breaking. An inquiry seized upon by the liberal left as earth-shattering and some sort of defining moment in history, looks very different under a different light. The liberal MacPherson basically delivered us no justice for the Lawrence family, no police officers prosecuted or sacked, publication both on the Internet and in the initial report of witnesses' home addresses and ultimately the likely removal of the law of double jeopardy.
The constant themes of O'Hara's work are the use of the media by the police and security services for their own propaganda purposes, and analysis of the breakdown in relationships between different sections of the state. Given the lazy way some Anarchists tend to to view the state as a monolithic block, rather than as a vehicle for overlapping and sometimes competing sections of the ruling class, we hope Notes From The Borderland goes from strength to strength.
