The Struggle Continues...
|
|
|
|
The situation today is very different to that of the late sixties and early
|
|
seventies. New comrades are taking up the struggle, which has spread to that of
|
|
attacks on NATO installations and nuclear power stations as well as other
|
|
manifestations of the increasing militarism in Europe and the US and Canada. There
|
|
are no structures today that correspond to the old RAF, Action Directe, the Red
|
|
Brigades as they once were, or other forms of fairly structured armed groups. The
|
|
signatures and emblems are still used, but the comrades using them have hardly any
|
|
direct relationship with others doing the same. What is apparent is that there is a
|
|
will to act against the new and old forms of repression, and in doing so, to also
|
|
criticise the old forms of organisation. It is in this light that we see the
|
|
following communiques that have appeared in this country over the past three years.
|
|
Another opening towards armed struggle appears on the horizon. It finds its roots
|
|
in the mass illegality of the present, and seeks to go further in terms of creating
|
|
a new specific revolutionary armed attack. It is time to take a position and to
|
|
act.

Getting Angrier!
|
|
|
|
(Communique sent to the Conservative Party, 1983)
|
|
|
|
WE PLANTED the small bombs in your northern headquarters at at Manchester and
|
|
Leeds as a reminder to you of the active resistance which exists in this
|
|
country.
|
|
|
|
We have had enough of you ruining our lives. You commit the worst forms of
|
|
violence in our society and you don't care. We are thrown out of work, abused by
|
|
the DHSS and the police, deported and exploited -- and still it's not enough for
|
|
you. Every day we are subjected to greater repression; police powers are
|
|
increased, more racist laws introduced, 20 years of gains by women are eroded in
|
|
three, the organised labour movement is under attack, and now we see a policy of
|
|
summary execution.
|
|
|
|
You think you can crush us, but you're wrong. We will not remain silent in the
|
|
face of this onslaught -- we are fighting back. So far our actions have been
|
|
aimed at property and not people, but our patience is wearing thin.
|
|
|
|
WE ARE GETTING CLOSER.

"Overcrowding in the prisons, general repression and the murder of Barry
|
|
Prosser earlier this year by screws in Winson Green Prison are some of the
|
|
reasons given by a group calling itself the `Angry Brigade Resistance
|
|
Movement', for the bomb attack on property belonging to the Prison Officers
|
|
Training College in Wakefield.
|
|
...... One London-based ATS officer is reported to have said that it was
|
|
unlikely that the Angry Brigade had reformed.
|
|
..... it is not possible for the Angry Brigade to `re-form'. It wasn't an
|
|
organisation, nor was it a single grouping -- but an expression of the anger
|
|
and contempt many people up and down the country had for the State and its
|
|
institutions. In this sense the Angry Brigade is with us all the time (the
|
|
man or the woman sitting next to you?) -- it neither appears or disappears
|
|
(or re-forms) but is the natural manifestation of revolt when that revolt is
|
|
directed at the heart of all that causes suffering: the State."

We decided to plant the explosives on the electricity pylon north of Maltby in
|
|
order to damage the pylon, disrupt the Supergrid link from the Midlands to the
|
|
North East, and to show that the system is vulnerable.
|
|
|
|
We see the State employing here the techniques of repression developed and
|
|
practised against the people of Ireland. But we too have learnt lessons from the
|
|
Irish struggle.
|
|
|
|
As we move towards open CLASS WAR, you will not find us unprepared!
