Introduction
In an article in the socialist daily paper, the Morning Star, about the attack on civil liberties under the guise of anti-terrorism, UK barriester Liz Davies wrote about the necessity to defy these diktats, particularly addressing cultural workers: “Writers and artists should deliberately undertake a collective expression that qualifies as ‘glorifying terrorism’.”
Right on, I say. And since one of the final scenes in my play, Into the War Zone, will probably fall foul of Charles Clarke’s catch-all (even as amended) I’ll like to invite fellow cultural workers (not just writers and artists but also songwriters, dancers, musicians et al) to join me in putting together such a defiance.
This blog is devoted to this project. If you would like to take part, you can get in touch with me at writersco@blueyonder.co.uk.

Hey, Karl I just stumbled onto a commentary of yours regarding police infiltration of the American Left in which you make the passing comment that violations of "party discipline" regarding smoking a joint are to be compared to those involving terrorist attacks like lobbing Molotov cocktails. Isn't that a little ridiculous, sort of like jay walkers being on the slippery slope to homicide? I would have thought that someone who is supposedly a rock critic for Rolling Stone would have a less ultra conservative, socially inept, attitude than that associated with the "Archie Bunker" old school proletarians of the sectarian left Gerry Healy variety, who are prime exemplars of what Marcuse was talking about in disparaging conservatized "orthodox marxism" as out of touch with the 60s movement.
