On the 2nd of March, Solent SolFed with comrades from Bristol and Brighton locals along
with CNT-AIT Caen, Forest of Dean Anarchists, Wessex Solidarity and others, picketed
Poundland in Portsmouth as part of our rolling campaign against the mendacious workfare
provider (they keep staying they?ve pulled out). This particular shop had two employees
working for JSA however. ---- When we made this clear to shoppers, there was a distinct
change in mood, with many refusing to set foot in the place; the usual checkout throng
noticeably thinned out. Hundreds of leaflets were distributed and we received a lot of
support from passers by and some of the staff. A couple of passing SWP congratulated us on
our organisation, which is nice, on the 92nd anniversary of the Kronstadt Rebellion!
