This is a guest post from West Midlands Hunts Saboteurs.
In 2023, Warwickshire Police served a Community Protection Notice (CPN) on the Warwickshire Hunt due to the number of antisocial behaviour issues that the hunt had been causing for years on public roads. The hunt appealed the notice, and a court date was set — but then what happened next was nothing short of a scandal.

Booked your ticket for the launch yet?
Our first annual “State of Protest” report documents not just the expansion of restrictions and oppressive policing on the streets in Britain, but an alarming package of state-supported measures designed to impose social control on protests on a scale reminiscent of the ‘war on terror’ two decades ago.
Join us on 19 March as we launch our new report, “This is Repression: the State of Protest in 2024”.
We hope you can join us live for the launch and a Q&A. A replay will be available after the event. As you’re part of the Netpol mailing list, you will recieve a PDF copy of the report when we launch.

Rivalries between Russia and the West are on the rise, fueled by decades of mistrust, resentment, hybrid conflicts, and strategic divergences. What are the roots of this geopolitical tension?

Rocio Navarro (Mexico), Watering Day, 2024.
Dear Friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
March is the month of International Working Women’s Day, a day deeply rooted in the socialist movement. Most of the world now only calls 8 March ‘International Women’s Day’, excluding the word ‘working’ from its title. But work is a fundamental part of women’s daily lives. According to UN Women’s annual report Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The Gender Snapshot 2024, 63.3% of women worldwide participated in the labour force in 2022. However, due to the appalling state of social protections and labour regimes, by 2024 nearly 10% of women were living in extreme poverty. The same report warns that, at the current pace, it could take 137 years to eradicate extreme poverty among women. The goal of life should not be merely to exit absolute poverty but to emancipate people from the burdens of induced necessity.

As Ukraine’s Kursk operations collapse and wider fears grow regarding the viability of Ukraine’s armed forces, the US is rushing to freeze the conflict, create a European-occupied buffer zone in Ukraine, and buy time to rearm and reorganize Ukraine’s forces for the next round of fighting.

I had the great pleasure of speaking with Ambassador Chas Freeman regarding the US-Ukraine deal for a 30-day ceasefire. The agreement does not provide any political solutions and would likely be used by the US and the Europeans to pump more weapons into Ukraine. Statements from the British suggest that they may use the ceasefire to place their troops within Ukraine. This is happening at a time that Ukrainian position in Kursk has completely collapsed. Zelensky and the Europeans argue that if Russia does not accept the ceasefire, then the US must respond strongly against Russia. This seems to be seen as an opportunity by Zelensky and the Europeans to win the US back over and return to a long war. However, is there more to this? Ambassador Freeman suggests that it could be a tactical move by the Trump administration to get Zelensky and the Europeans to at least accept the need for diplomacy and negotiations, and that this ceasefire is merely a starting position to negotiate with Russia.

Mahmoud Khalil was finally able to speak with his legal team after a judge in the Southern District of New York ordered the Department of Homeland Security to allow a call of at least an hour. Prior to that, the Columbia University graduate and pro-Palestine organizer had no meaningful contact with his lawyers since Department of Homeland Security agents detained him and told him his green card had been revoked on Saturday night. Attorneys representing Khalil declined to give details of Wednesday night’s call, with another planned for Thursday.

The European Union stands at a breaking point, grappling with internal discord and external threats that undermine its unity and global influence.
The EU is in tatters as the bloc’s leadership feigns solidarity with the tide rising against globalism. With a trade war looming between the EU and its biggest customer, the United States, heads in Brussels can be heard clanking together to stabilize a horrendous situation. A U.S. Russia reset and Donald Trump’s refocus on America’s problems first spell big trouble for a European confederation already on the ropes.

Even the biggest fire starts with a spark. So burn.
In 2018, David Graeber made the term ‘bullshit jobs’ famous, arguing that over half of societal work is pointless and becomes psychologically destructive when paired with a work ethic that associates productivity with self-worth. Now with the advent of AI and quantum computing, the need for human labour and, in fact, human cognition in the workplace, is in rapid decline. If this decline led to more freedom for humans to pursue their passions and talents and learn and grow without fear of the bottom rung of Maslow’s hierarchy being forsaken, then this could be an evolution not only for society but a spiritual enlightenment. A levelling up of human consciousness, fuelled by our newfound availability to ponder and philosophise. The reality is that we are still trapped within the old systems of scarcity, having to make ends meet, whilst being fed the lie that suffering through labour makes one virtuous. We’re at a crossroads, lacking clear direction and understanding of the future.

On March 3rd, Timothy Ash of elite British state-connected ‘defence’ think tank Chatham House made a series of startling proclamations in an interview with Bloomberg. His topline message was stark – “NATO is dead.” He spoke following the very public February 28th Oval Office fallout between Volodomyr Zelensky and Donald Trump. The impact of that debacle reverberates today, with questions abounding over continued US aid and intelligence sharing with Kiev, pending the Ukrainian leader’s signoff on a White House-endorsed minerals for security agreements deal.

The West is likely dividing itself into smaller parties that can present potentially endless demands to keep the Ukraine-Russia conflict going, while enabling Donald Trump to pose as a peace-maker.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Rapid Collapse of Ukraine’s Kursk Area of Operation (via pro-Ukrainian map)
▪️This was the inevitable result of Russia’s strategy of attrition grinding down overextended Ukrainian forces in Kursk as well as weakening Ukrainian defenses across the rest of the line of contact;
▪️Despite the US posing as “ending support” for Ukraine, most of it has been shifted to Europe, some of it is still provided by the US (Starlink) – the problem was never a will to supply support, it was the fact there was nothing left to supply that could make a difference;
▪️As Secretary Rubio claims he wants Ukraine to make concessions, the only real concession that actually truly ends this conflict for Russia is in regards to the threat NATO poses, which is a decision only the US can make – it has chosen to expand it instead;
▪️Russia’s choice is either to continue operations or agree to what is essentially Misnk 3.0;
