Solidarity Against State Repression In Spain
Today we will see resistance by the people of Catalonia following “a remarkable week in which the Guardia Civil (Spanish police) have seized leaflets, pamphlets and ballot papers in their million, to try to stop Catalonia’s independence referendum on 1 October. Government buildings have been forcibly entered and senior government officials arrested and charged. In some places, like Vitoria in the Basque Country, police have raided and terminated meetings addressed by Catalonian politicians. The Guardia Civil have closed down websites that provide information or commentary on the referendum, and Spanish judges have ordered mobile phone networks Vodafone and Movistar to block access to the official referendum website ref1oct.eu. The repression has even extended to the Spanish Post Office, ordered to open ‘suspicious’ mail to check if it contains referendum-related material.” Read more from David Whyte and Ignasi Bernat here: The Spanish state is seizing ballot papers and raiding meetings.

I’m Not Really In Brighton
I’ve spent the last week in Brighton at the Labour Party conference. Unfortunately I’ve been at meetings all the time so here are some photographs of Brighton I was unable to take this week.
