"The people who died and lost their homes - this happened to them because they are poor," 
Akala, rapper and poet, local resident. ---- "Regeneration is a euphemism for ethnic and 
class cleansing": Kensington resident and writer  Ishmahil Blagrove. ---- Guilty-Boris 
Johnson. When Mayor of London he put through cuts including the closure of 10 fire 
stations and the loss of 552 firefighters jobs despite pre-election promises not to do so. 
When questioned over this at the Greater London Assembly he said:" Get Stuffed". The loss 
to the fire services meant a slower response time to the fire, with fire teams having to 
be called in from outside London. ---- Guilty -Kensington and Chelsea Council. They 
repeatedly ignored warnings for years from residents about fire hazards. They attempted to 
close down a blogger, Francis O'Connor, member of the Grenfell Action Group (GAG) after he 
warned about fire hazards at Grenfell. They sent a lawyer to threaten him, which he 
ignored. Nicholas Paget-Brown, leader of the council, attended a private dinner to which 
he was invited by organizers of the MIPIM (property developers) conference in 2015. The 
council has had plans to cleanse the residents and build luxury flats in the neighbourhood 
for the last three years. Now Paget-Brown is trying to put blame on the residents by 
falsely saying that they objected to water sprinklers.

Guilty. Kensington and Chelsea Tenants Management Organisation. The "arm's length" body 
set up by Kensington and Chelsea Council to manage Grenfell block ignored tenants' 
warnings. It was handed £11 million by the Council to manage the block and in 2015-2016 
its bosses got a grand total of £650,794 in salaries! As GAG wrote: "We believe that the 
KCTMO have ensured their ongoing survival by the use of proxy votes at their Annual 
General Meeting that see them returned with a mandate of 98% in favour of the continuation 
of their inept and highly dangerous management of our homes" and that "It is our 
conviction that a serious fire in a tower block or similar high density residential 
property is the most likely reason that those who wield power at the KCTMO will be found 
out and brought to justice! The Grenfell Action Group believe that the KCTMO narrowly 
averted a major fire disaster at Grenfell Tower in 2013 when residents experienced a 
period of terrifying power surges that were subsequently found to have been caused by 
faulty wiring. We believe that our attempts to highlight the seriousness of this event 
were covered up by the KCTMO with the help of the RBKC Scrutiny Committee who refused to 
investigate the legitimate concerns of tenants and leaseholders." (this was written in 
November 2016!) KCTMO was given a "deficiency notice" last year by the London fire brigade 
after an audit at another of its properties.

Guilty. Gavin Barwell. Now Theresa May's chief of staff,  the then Housing Minister  in 
2013 promised to review part B of the Building Regulations 2010,  relating to fire safety, 
but the review never happened. This was after the fire at another tower block, Lakanal 
House in Southwark in 2009 that killed six people. Instead housing ministers have sat on 
it for four years!

Guilty. Brandon Lewis, another Tory Housing Minister who sat on information about fire 
risks at blocks like Grenfell because it would "discourage building". He waved away 
suggestions about installation of water sprinklers in 2014 saying it was "all red tape"

Guilty.  The Conservative government itself and back bench Tory MPS who voted against a 
motion to make "homes fit or human habitation" in 2016 with a clause to undertake regular 
electrical checking. Among these were 72 MPs who are also landlords, including the present 
Police and Fire Minister Nick Hurd. The then local government minister Marcus Jones said 
it "would result in unnecessary regulation and cost to landlords".

But GUILTY most of all is the whole class system, capitalism itself, that for decades now 
has unleashed  the policies of neoliberalism on the working class, policies of the 
unbridled market,  policies of austerity, policies of vicious attacks on social services 
and what is the robbing of the poor to make the wealthy even wealthier. This system should 
be sentenced to death.

In this special feature written for the Organise Issue 88, a member of the Anarchist 
Federation looks into the historic consequences of State intervention in beer, from 
frothing masses to watered-down ideas. ---- Throughout history the ruling class have 
placed restrictions, controls and taxes on alcoholic beverages and their consumption. As 
with all things, this has not happened without resistance but to this day the twin evils 
of capitalism and the state have a huge influence on what, where and when we drink. ---- 
The Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest recorded laws (circa 1754 BC), includes rules 
on drinks measures, punishment for tavern-keepers not apprehending subversives meeting 
there, and rules on where priestesses can drink. Though records of laws on beer in Britain 
don't go back that far they can certainly be traced to at least the time of William the 
Conqueror, with controls on ale price and quality.

A tax was levied on property, including beer, to pay for a crusade as early as 1188, and 
business owners sought to control the trade in brewing by forming a guild in London in 
1292. Tracing how modern beer and pub culture in England developed I will start with the 
relatively more recent malt tax of 1697, brought in to pay for William of Orange's war 
with France.

War is the health of the state, but it's certainly not good for beer or drinkers. Beer is 
a fermented alcohol beverage made from malted cereal grains. Barley, wheat, oats, rye and 
others have all been used historically and are in use today. With a tax placed on malt 
though it restricted commercial beer production to the use of malted barley, and so 
restricted the types of beer that could be made. Wheat beers used to be produced in 
England, but this was made illegal and so production ceased, killing off part of the 
English brewing tradition.

The malt tax was not imposed on Scotland until 1725, where it was met with riots and 
illegal strikes by brewers. Troops had to be called in to end this "dangerous challenge to 
the union state" and eight people died. Taxing malt made it more economical for maltsters 
if they continued the malting process for longer, which lead to British and European 
malting and brewing practices diverging. Simple single temperature infusion mashing 
predominated in British breweries, whereas using less modified malts the more complicated 
stepped temperature decoction mashing was the norm in continental Europe.

In Germany the "reinheitsgebot" law has been in force since 1906, though it originated in 
Bavaria in 1516. This places strict controls on which ingredients on which ingredients can 
be used, and is usually described today as the "beer purity law." In fact it was brought 
in to help keep bread prices down by stopping brewers using grains other than barley, and 
again this restriction lead to a loss of beer diversity.

Hops, which had become commonly used in British beer from the 16th century, were also 
taxed from 1710 up until 1862, during which time other herbs were prevented from being 
used as flavourings. Again, this limited the types of beer that could be made. As well as 
taxing the raw materials beer itself was also taxed, with of course, higher tax for 
stronger beer.

Beer in a Bad State

The malt tax was slightly relaxed to allow sugar use in 1847, but major change came with 
the "Free Mash Tun" act of 1880, at which point tax was moved to the strength of 
unfermented beer (wort) and the ingredients used became de-restricted. Brewers quickly 
moved to using a proportion of sugar and unmalted cereals as ingredients, except on the 
Isle of Man where the Free Mash Tun act was not adopted, and to this day beer ingredients 
are restricted to water, malted barley, sugar, hops and yeast.

Taxing beer based on its strength has always tempted brewers to cut their costs by making 
weaker beer, and Britain's beers are often weak by international standards. Other 
countries' systems may be based on volume irrespective of strength, so there is not such a 
financial pressure to make beer weaker. This perhaps partly explains why craft brewers in 
the US generally make stronger beers than their counterparts in Britain.

To go back to William of Orange, it was also under his reign that gin became hugely 
popular in England. It was promoted as an alternative to French brandy and a number of 
laws were passed restricting brandy imports and encouraging gin production. Cheap and 
widely available, the "gin craze" ensued which persisted for decades, despite numerous 
attempts to restrict it.

One method used to reduce gin consumption was to promote the drinking of beer, and 
Hogarth's famous "Gin Lane" and "Beer Street" engravings were propaganda promoting beer 
and denigrating gin. Regulations and rising prices brought an end to the first gin craze 
but when consumption rose again in the 1800s the authorities again promoted the 
consumption of beer. The Beer House Act of 1830 made it easy to open pubs which sold beer 
but not spirits, and pub numbers rocketed. Predictably, this relaxation of control was 
only temporary with licensing powers being returned to magistrates in 1869, and it became 
much harder to open pubs.

The State has not always been keen to promote pubs though, and religion has also played a 
role in having restrictions on drinking imposed. Pressure from the temperance movement, 
and particularly nonconformist chapels in Wales, led to the passing of the Sunday Closing 
(Wales) Act of 1881 which required the closing of all pubs in Wales on Sundays. A similar 
act failed to be passed in England, and its effect in Wales was minimised by the opening 
of a large number of clubs. However, it remained in force until 1961 when local 
authorities started holding polls on retaining the ban, with the last area not lifting it 
until 1996. Mostly Britain escaped prohibition, but many other countries suffered from 
this extreme State control, including the US and Russia, and indeed some do so today, 
usually for religious reasons as mythical beings often have an antipathy to alcohol.

The events that most shaped modern British beer were the restrictions brought in during 
the First World War. The Defence of the Realm Act, brought in four days after the outbreak 
of war, imposed the first of a wide range of authoritarian controls, including on alcohol 
sales. The hours in which pubs were open were cut from up to 19-and-a-half hours a day to 
just five-and-a-half.

Once States have taken power to themselves they are loath to let it go and the ridiculous 
requirement for pubs to close in the afternoon persisted until 1988. Buying rounds or 
"treating" was also prohibited, and punishable by six months in prison. Alcohol taxes rose 
massively during the war, up 600%, and strict controls on the strength and volume of beer 
produced were imposed leading to both being halved. Some beers became as low as 1% alcohol 
by volume.

Workers threatened to strike if more beer, and good beer at that, was not made available. 
Restrictions were eased slightly and "Government Ale" was brought in, at a controlled 
strength and price, though it's low strength (around 3.6% ABV) did not make it popular and 
it was ridiculed in a music hall song:

We shall win the war, we shall win the war,
As I said before, we shall win the war.

The Kaiser's in a dreadful fury,
Now he knows we're making it at every brewery.

Have you read of it, seen what's said of it,
In the Mirror and the Mail.
It's a substitute, and a pubstitute,
And it's known as Government Ale (or otherwise).

Lloyd George's Beer, Lloyd George's Beer.
At the brewery, there's nothing doing,
All the water works are brewing,
Lloyd George's Beer, it isn't dear.

Oh they say it's a terrible war, oh law,
And there never was a war like this before,
But the worst thing that ever happened in this war
Is Lloyd George's Beer.

Buy a lot of it, all they've got of it.
Dip your bread in it, shove your head in it
 From January to October,
And I'll bet a penny that you'll still be sober.

Get your cloth in it, make some broth in it,
With a pair of mutton chops.
Drown your dogs in it, pop your clogs in it,
And you'll see some wonderful sights (in that lovely stuff).

Lloyd George's Beer, Lloyd George's Beer.
At the brewery, there's nothing doing,
All the water works are brewing,
Lloyd George's Beer, it isn't dear.

With Haig and Joffre when affairs look black,
And you can't get at Jerry with his gas attack.
Just get your squirters out and we'll squirt the buggers back,
With Lloyd George's Beer.

The government reacted to this by banning brewers from using the term Government Ale. In 
some areas pubs and breweries were taken under State control, and the government continued 
to own breweries up until 1974. By the end of the war the average strength of beer had 
dropped from around 5.5% ABV down to 3%, and it never returned to its pre-war level. When 
restrictions were relaxed it increased slightly to around 3.8% ABV, and it has hovered 
around there ever since.

Beer suffered less during the Second World War, the notorious piss artist Churchill 
refusing to emulate the teetotal Lloyd George. State intervention didn't end though and to 
this day the authorities continue to meddle. The beer orders of 1989 resulted in the large 
national brewers being separated from their tied pub estates. This did nothing to lessen 
the concentration of ownership, as huge pub companies were immediately formed, and the 
national breweries all came to be owned by multinationals. A clause that was inserted 
after pressure from the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) led to the rise of guest cask ales 
in pubs, and local monopolies, of cask beer at least, are now a lot less common.

Further pressure from CAMRA and the Society of Independent Brewers lead to Progressive 
Beer Duty being brought in by Gordon Brown in 2002. This means that smaller breweries pay 
less tax on beer, and this has undoubtedly helped bring about the boom in microbreweries. 
What he gave with one hand, he later took away with the other though, as he was also 
responsible for the Beer Duty Escalator, which made tax on beer automatically rise above 
the level of inflation, a situation that persisted from 2008-2013. Though the Beer Duty 
Escalator has now been stopped, High Strength Beer Duty has been introduced, so extra tax 
is paid on beers above 7.5% ABV, resulting in many strong beers dropping in strength to 
avoid this. It is difficult to know what beer we might be drinking in a free society, but 
perhaps we can glimpse what it might be like.

The Spanish anarchists collectivised the Damm and Moritz breweries in Barcelona during the 
civil war, but I have been unable to find any details of the beers they made then. The 
pressures of war and their enemies from the left and right wings of capitalism did not 
make it an ideal opportunity to express their creativity anyway. We know that state 
controls greatly reduced the ingredients used in beer, and when these controls are lifted 
the variety of ingredients grows. One area of brewing less affected by state controls and 
the financial pressures of capitalism is home brewing (though a licence was required in 
Britain until 1963).

In the appropriately named Radical Brewing, home brewing author Randy Mosher details the 
astonishingly wide range of beers that can be made when creativity is unrestrained. 
Strong, weak, bitter, sweet, traditional, novel, the possibilities are endless. The 
influence of home brewers on the growing "craft beer" scene has lead to much greater 
variety in the range of beers being available, but in only for those that can afford them. 
When beer is freely available on the basis of need it will likely show greater diversity 
and make more use of local ingredients than is the case in contemporary society.

The strikes in recent months have not respected the traditional electoral truce and with 
51% abstention from the legislative elections, workers clearly reject the announced 
destruction of the last walls of our "  social model  ". Nothing should delay the popular 
counter-offensive. Drawing lessons from recent failures. ---- The boss's camp ---- Avec 
Macron plus que jamais la bourgeoisie applique l'adage: tout changer pour que rien ne 
change. En apparence du neuf, mais toujours la même politique anti-ouvrière. Les 
député-e-s macronistes? 50% de patrons, DRH et autres avocat-e-s d'affaires et 50% de 
politicien-ne-s opportunistes recyclé-e-s des Verts, du PS, du Modem et des Républicains 
mais 100% serpillières! Avec le vote des pleins pouvoirs, cette élite renouvelée (moins 
d'ENA mais plus d'HEC) se laissera gouverner par ordonnances... La démocratie 
parlementaire est mise à nue. C'est le Medef qui prend directement tous les pouvoirs. 
L'affrontement sera brutal.

Le camp des travailleurs

Plus que jamais l'extrême-gauche électoraliste (LO, NPA, POID) comme la gauche réformiste 
(FI, PCF, Ensemble) se sont déchirées lamentablement durant la période électorale. Hélas 
ces luttes sectaires à qui sera le plus fort ont semé des aigreurs et des divisions 
paralysantes jusqu'au sein des syndicats pour les résultats dérisoires que l'on sait. Ce 
contre-temps alors que nous savions ce qui nous attendait, doit être immédiatement 
rattrapé et les rancoeurs des uns et des autres illico dépassées.

Dès maintenant et tout l'été

It is unlikely, alas, that a mass movement starts in mid-June. Nevertheless, it is now and 
throughout the summer that we must not only explain the offensive against the 
wage-earners, but also deal with the slightest resistance and work towards convergence. 
 From now on, take the actions, even minorities, and demand union leaders a unitary date 
of general strike without which we will be beaten again. The experience of the failures in 
2010 and 2016 must serve to pose the challenge of the fight to the necessary height: 
strike, blockage, sabotage or defeat ! Organizations, activists to take the stake in all 
businesses ; Workers to decide on their future.

As the rumble of war and rising right-wing movements and politicians threaten Europe, the 
strength of our connections, the power to build our long-term projects, and the fierce 
determination to hold our streets is becoming more important than ever. What is the role 
of autonomous spaces in our struggles? ---- How do we make sure we do not become a 
self-referential and irrelevant space but remain a timeless source of inspiration for new 
connections, ideas, and the passion to live and fight? ---- How do we ensure that our 
spaces serve as a model for social relations in the world we wish to inhabit, and how do 
we make sure we don‘t stop there? ---- How do we turn our autonomous spaces into 
strongholds for communities in struggle? ---- Join a comrade from Slovenia, as they share 
their experience building long-term autonomous projects and infoshops, how they are used 
in different migrant, antifascist and anti-gentrification struggles, and the joys and 
dangers of that process.

Anarchist Film Festival[visit the website AFF]aims to familiarize the subject radically 
leftist and anarchist resistance to capitalist reality and to create practical 
alternatives to it. AFF is the first such film event in Poland, which is trying to look at 
the current problems and issues of the radical left-wing perspective, the freedom to 
present projects from breaking the capitalist logic and zoom in movie classics carrying 
the revolutionary content. AFF is also meeting with directors, heroines and heroes of 
films, lectures, discussions and stand organizations and publications related to the ideas 
and themes presented on the screen. ---- The films were divided into four thematic blocks: 
anti-fascism, Self-Workers, History of Anarchism, Classic Cinemas.

Anti-fascism is a block that tries to meet the problem of the extreme nationalist right. 
We will present films that will look at the militant anti-fascist movements, unions 
denouncing fascism and capitalism and also try to see the fascist violence, where often we 
do not want to see her.

Worker self-management is the idea of the organization of work devoid of boss and 
capitalist forms of exploitation. In this film block we will present a modern, practical 
implementation of the idea of economic democracy in different parts of the world: in 
modern Scandinavia, the economic crisis-torn Greece, and covered the war of northern 
Syria. What problems in the neoliberal reality faced by the self-governing workplaces, 
whether they are a viable alternative to capitalism? These are some of the questions on 
which we will consider during the festival.

The history of anarchism takes us on a journey back in time and tell as implemented in 
practice the idea of a libertarian and egalitarian society "without God and without a 
master," and what was the activity of revolutionaries from black-and-red flag more than 80 
years ago in Spain.

Cinema Classics - a block of films created by the anarchists and anarchists, carrying a 
revolutionary leftist content expressed in the form of the films themselves. Presented 
titles entered into the canon of world cinema, but Poland is still waiting to be discovered.

The program of the festival:
