So today we’ve reached No 19 (to be published in April, but I’ve read) of my recommended texts on the background, dynamics and politics of the 1926 General Strike in Britain in this 100th anniversary year @strikemap.org @redhen90.bsky.social @keithbeard.bsky.social @sslh.bsky.social

Injunctions won't stop solidarity. Standing with striking workers is not a crime @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social

Our household is proud to support the @unitetheunion.bsky.social Birmingham bin strikers.

We will stand with them until victory ✊

Right now @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social beg the courts for more injunctions to ban effective protest and picketing, this time for persons unknown.

Instead of resolving this dispute, they try to ban protest.

Solidarity is not a crime.
