22.09.02 - Camilla Parker Bowles is planning on joining her other sicko aristo pals on the Countryside Alliance March in opposition to a government bill opposing Hunting with Hounds. Tory Leader Ian Someone-Smith will also be taking part. Prince Charles is giving paid leave to all his lackeys who want to go on this march (funny how this offer doesn't apply to anti-War or Anti-Third WorldDebt demos). MA'M will be joining in the counter-demonstration against the Royals and their sadistic display of privilege. Watch out for more details or join the email group on the main page.

30.04.02 - Well done to the 30+ London MAMsters who turned up to the local CHOKE ON IT! Demo against the Royals at 10 Downing Street. A bonus was that Blair and his mother Thatcher were also there. A few drinks and a good time was had by all. The first event in the calander of anti-royalist activities got off without an arrest being made. That's twice we've managed it, despite the local plod being a bit pissed off with our 'good riddance' stickers. 09.04.02 - Stickers for the anti-jubilee and colourful 'good riddance Queen Mum' available from MA'M, PO Box 14672, London, E9 5UQ. A few pence per sticker and a donation towards postage would be appreciated. Check ot rest of the website for our next upcoming events on 29.04.02 outside Downing Street, Whitehall, London at 6pm.
07.04.02 APOLOGY
Jeez this page hasn't been updated for ages, dunno how that happened. Can't remember all that we've done, there were some anti-hunt actions prior to foot-and-mouth, a Xmas drink up and of course some public meetings were organised to co-ordinate anti-Jubilee fun. One of these meetings, the London one (20.03.02) was covered in THE SUNDAY MIRROR and OBSERVER newspapers. The Sunday Mirror reporter claimed he heroically 'infiltrated' the event. Which made the meeting sound very sinister. How the journo managed such a feat is amazing. After all it was a public event, advertised on the website, leaflets and posters.So infiltrating it is a bit like infiltrating a football match by paying to get in. Keep an eye on other parts of the website which will keep you up to date on our latest plans.
ROYALS BARRACKED 7.02.01
MA'M Social 22.10.00
Great Fun and nearly 100 people attended a MA'M benefit at Arsenal Tavern, London - raising nearly 100 quid for MA'M thanks to all the bands, including the ever popular Oi Polloi. QUEEN MUM'S BIRTHDAY SPECTACULAR - AUGUST 4TH, 2000
A great day out. plenty of drinking through the streets of Hackney, as East London Mamsters paraded their effigy of the Queen Mum. The welcome was always friendly. The tiny counter demonstration held by the British Legion, stirred up by Tory Hackney mayor [a Conservative mayor of Hackney is that right? - ed], who seemed to take offence at criticism of the former-Nazi loving Queen Mum, only seemed to add to the joviality of the occasion. And for the second time in a year, a MA'M demo with NO ARRESTS.
The meetings have been lively and good humoured, with two dozen activists attending from many groups including MA'M, AFA, EF!, AF (formerly ACF) @TU, Stop the War and many others. Meetings are held on the first monday of every month (except when a bank holiday - when it is the second monday) at 7.30pm.
East Midlands
After the success of the J18 events, East Midlands MA'M have continued to coordinate with other radical groupings in the area (hunt sabs, anti-Fascists, Anarchists, militant environmentalists etc). The groups name is the Nottingham Association of Subversive Activists - NASA
LONDON
South Eastern MA'M members are also involved in a similar grouping called The London Underground. For More Details of their meetings write to the MA'M PO Box address.
London MA'M Sends Camilla and Charles Running
A great result on June 20th, with a dozen anti-monarchists springing a surprise on Charles and his escort. Camilla's first semi-official engagement with the Pimp of Wales. Their reception at the hands of a dozen local anti-royalists including many on the MA'M-lists meant that the walk-about and photo-opportunity were cancelled. Congrats to London MA'M.
Essex and Cambridgeshire MA'M Meeting
A dozen people met up for the first meeting of the newly formed Essex and Cambridgeshire MA'M group at the Moon on the Square, Basildon, Essex. It was a great evening, with plans made for Mayday 2000, the Lincoln Cathedral demo and for future local actions. If you'd like to find out more contact: moveagainstmon@hotmail.com or pager: 01523 160145. Another meeting is being planned soon.
Report of Nottingham Demonstration Against the Royal Visit
A veteran of anti-royalist demonstrations, Andy M. commented on his pleasure at the day. 'The queen was so shocked by the abuse, I thought she was going to have a heart attack. It was right up there with the Bristol demo.' Two unusual incidents of the day. It didn't piss down, unusual for a MA'M activity, and even rarer - the old bill didn't nick anyone (as far as I know) - only one threatened arrest for breach of peace. A big thanks going out to the three from the London and Essex crew who infiltrated inside the campus. But what happened to the Sheffield lads and lasses? -
It could have been a tricky fixture holding a demo against the Queen outside one of Britain's most elite and right-wing universities. But, by common consent it was a great day out. A score of hardy anti-monarchy protestors met up to heckle the Royals and take the piss out of the the few dozen student and academic sychophants. Having confronted Prince Philip in his chauffeur driven Bentley, it was the 7-billion-dollar woman whose walkabout was cut short by the happy-angry mob chanting 'What Do We Want? - No Queen, How do We Get It - Guillotine', 'Racist Scum Off Our Streets' and 'They're Rich, Their Fly - They Murdered Lady Di'. The noise more than drowned out the half-hearted applause of the dwindling crowd of by-standers and pro-royalists, so much so that local TV News had to show the footage without sound.
