Freedom’s offices

You'll see why I put this under WSM in a minute.

Anyway, the latest Private Eye has an aticle regarding the current malaise at Freedom Bookshop, which has ceased publishing its paper for some while now (leaving the Standard as basically last man standing, really, as the People died a good while ago).  Apparently thee's a ghaaaastly Classwar crowd there causing trouble; but the articles of association for Freedom press say if it stops publishing they need to sell up and donate the proceeds to the cause (I hope none of our members will be willing for us to accept anarchist money).

Anyway, the connection is is that someone late of our parish gets a name check, namely the Reverend Crowe, who gets bad mouthed as a hardline marxist (though at the time I recall he had become a Stirnerite Egoist), and his editorship is slated as the bginning of the slide into the end for Freedom.

Are there as many anarchists in Britain today as ten or twenty years ago? Is print as popular now as ten or twenty years ago? If yes to both, then it must be something to do with editorial.

With regards to Toby Crowe getting the blame, I'm wondering if the person who penned the Private Eye piece cribbed part of their info from this series of blogposts?http://northernvoicesmag.blogspot.com/2015/02/who-killed-freedom-unauthorised-history.html
