[I'm the person who made the capacity building remark near the top of this thread]

Following the London Anarchist Bookfair organisers understandable decision to call it quits I encouraged my favourite radical bookshop to do something to replace it. The staff were very receptive, got Freedom Press on board and now it's having it's second, much larger iteration starting Friday 31st May.
I'm working on what will hopefully be an open-ended, nonsectarian, zero-budget anarchist talks programme in central London. What has been pleasantly surprising is the willingness of people to do agree to do talks, the support of my radical bookshop and other radical venues to let me use their space. My sincere hope is anarchist activists, writers and academics from abroad who are passing through London will consider do a talk while they're over here. I will post the details on here once a website is online. After searching around there are very few places where people can get a website built for free or low cost for outward facing project like this are on extremely tight/zero budgets. So if it ends up being on wordpress.com don't bust my chops because I have reached out to every anarchist group I know of to help on this.
