False Flag

HOW TO START A CULTURE WAR? Surely every true-born Englishman has by now downed a pint of Coronation ale, got the ladder out of the shed, and using British-made cable ties, tethered a flag to a lamp post in their street. Or is the whole thing a hoax, a GBeebies fever dream? There are far fewer flags per square mile than even during a lesser football tournament, those that are out seem pretty localised and nothing compared to the spontaneous display of Ukrainian flags at the outset of war. None of this has stopped the entire billionaire funded pundit class (Wootton, Goodwin, Oakeshott, GB News...) stepping up and declaring that the English lion has finally roared. Astroturfing is the art of creating “grassroots” movements from the top, and this flagshagging exercise is such a plastic lawn that it comes with its own set of garden furniture. The main Facebook group has only got 3.7k members! The few photos on it show a max of three flags each. KERB YOUR ENTHUSIASM As an action desig...

UKIP – Are they still a thing?

On Saturday, 8th November, United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) intends to march through Sheffield. The most common response to this news has been “Didn’t they pack up years ago?” The answer, unfortunately, is no. UKIP's recent (hastily abandoned) rebrand more accurately reflects their political shift Once upon a time, UKIP was a Farage vehicle, but the wheels have truly come off. No longer interested in waving plastic Union Jacks in the face of a bewildered European parliament, the name’s been sold to the (not very) highest bidder, namely one Nick Tenconi. Nick started out as a serial student botherer with Turning Point UK, an offshoot of the better-funded and better-looking, Trump-adjacent Turning Point USA. His schtick was to be a thirty-year-old man wandering around campuses trying to trick students into being woke while furiously mugging for the camera. Once this stopped paying the mortgage, Tenconi started making a fuss with an imported U.S culture war issue, Drag Qu...

Palestine Action Solidarity Mobilisation Sheffield

On Thursday 26th June, several SCARFers attended the Palestine Action (PA) solidarity demonstration outside Sheffield Town Hall. A few hundred people turned out to voice their opposition to the government's intention to proscribe PA – effectively labelling anyone associated with, or expressing support for, the movement a terrorist. This authoritarian attempt to silence dissent needs to be resisted, but it's also a sign of desperation and a state acknowledgement of the effectiveness of PA's tactics. SCARF offers its wholehearted support and solidarity for PA's aims and the tactics they employ towards ending the UK's complicity in a genocide. MINOR FLARE UP The complete absence of visible policing at the demonstration was noticable. Presumably the local fuzz decided their presence would do more to energise or antagonise the crowd, but we can't help feel an opportunity was missed to capitalise on the light touch approach. While the majority of attendees were focuse...
