Mayday 'cancelled' ?
Geert - 02.04.2004 13:26

Following a meeting held in mid-January the London Mayday Collective decided not to proceed with plans for an anti-capitalist event this year.

This will be the first time in 5 years that there has not been an event of its kind in London and we hope what follows will help to explain the reasoning behind the decision and perhaps begin some discussion into the prospects for planning future Mayday events, keeping in mind what has gone before. What follows is a personal reflection from a couple of participants in this year’s collective rather than a statement issued by the group as a whole.

The decision to postpone London Mayday 2004 was taken only after several disappointing and poorly attended meetings that had produced little in the way of either a concrete proposal for gathering around or a strong unifying theme that could lead to ideas worth developing. In these circumstances we feel not calling an event this year is the right thing to do. This may disappoint many, least not those Met officers who had already factored their overtime into this year’s summer holiday budgets! It will also allow those who have argued against an annual Mayday event the opportunity to put their arguments to the test. Whatever the feeling for Mayday activities, we now have the opportunity of at least a year’s breathing space to review where we are as a movement, to discuss some of the problems associated with the event in its current form and to look to what opportunities lie ahead.

Afgezien van het feit dat ik het wat vreemd vind dat de (trouwens sympathieke) organisatie bepaald dat er 'niets' gaat gebeuren dit jaar, behalve een picknick ergens, is het ook nog eens erg jammer. Mayday in London vond ik ieder jaar toch een aanstekelijk en indrukwekkend feest.

Nu hoorde ik geluiden over een samenkomst in Hyde Park; is er iemand die daar meer over weet ?

Of eventuele interessante acties in Nederland ?

In Rotterdam is IEDER jaar een 1 mei demo.

Tja, er is inderdaad een trade union march. Ik heb alleen weinig zin om een verplicht rondje door de stad te lopen om uiteindelijk naar Ken Livingstone en New Labour MP's te luisteren.
De afgelopen jaren eindigden beide demo's op trafalgar square en had het trade union gedeelte hun mond vol over solidariteit terwijl letterlijk 20 meter verderop mensen werden ingesloten door de politie, en werden opgepakt. Niet mijn idee van solidariteit of 'empowerment'.
