The last surviving artist behind the gallant mobilizing posters lighting up the walls of Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War passed away earlier this year. Fontsere one of many "pen and ink" soldiers, produced the famous FAI of a peasant raising a scythe in defiance while strong modernist letters issued the battle cry of "libertad!" Fontsere escaped into exile as the revolution subsided and spent some time in NYC, but his concerns lay with the plight of those third class emigrates ignored by what he termed the "relevant figures" of the republic and trapped in a cycle of concentration camps and production in the French war industry. read full story / add a comment

The Tommy Sheridan affair probably hasn’t run its course yet: there’s bound to be a few twists and turns left before we can close the book on the whole saga. But it’s possible to draw up a provisional balance sheet after the events of the last few months and see what lessons can be learned.

First of all, it’s important to establish the facts of what happened. It’s beyond question that somebody was lying.
