We networkers and flextimers of Northern and Southern Europe, autonomously gathered at Middlesex University and determined to go beyond crippling ESF, solemnly join minds and bodies in the present declaration of conflict against Europe's governments and corporate bureaucracies. We denounce police harassment and persecution of activists in London. We express our unwavering determination to fight against enforced precarity and for the right to a secure and decent living all over Europe. We will act to assert the rights of all humans within Europe regardless of where they were born or how long they have been here. We demand freedom of migration into and within the EU.

On April 2nd, a common day of action will see all of us joining migrants' struggles for free movement across borders, with mobilizations in more than 40 european cities. We will employ all methods of direct action and subvertising at our disposal to support strikes, pickets, stoppages, boycotts, blockades, sabotages, protests all over Europe. We agree to shape a transeuropean network of movements and collectives determined to agitate against freemarketeers for social rights valid for all human beings living in Europe.

We have decided to prepare for a common EURO MAYDAY 2005, to be held on May 1st in all of Europe's major cities, calling for angry temps, disgruntled parttimers, frustrated unemployed, raging immigrants and labor activists to mobilize against precarity and inequality, in order to reclaim flexibility from managers and executives: we demand flexicurity against flexploitation.

We will gather in Berlin in midJanuary 2005 to decide a common protest action against the sanctuaries of EU power, in order to launch euromaydays and the supporting structured network of labor radicalism and media activism tentatively called NEU, Networkers of Europe United. We call onto all our European sisters and brothers, be they autonomous marxists, postindustrial anarchists, syndicalists, feminists, antifas, queers, anarchogreens, hacktivists, cognitive workers, casualized laborers, outsourced and/or subcontracted employees and the like, to network and organize for a common social and political action in Europe. We are eurogeneration insurgent: our idea of Europe is a radical, libertarian, transnationalist, antidystopian, open democratic space able to counter global bushism and oppressive, exploitative, powermad, planetwrecking, warmongering neoliberalism in Europe and elsewhere.

Networkers and Flextimers of Europe Unite:

There's a World of Real Freedom to Fight for!

yep - guess what 'telebhiseanan' might mean?

Gaelic standardised its orthography really recently but these standards came out of a language that hadn't had much written literary history since the Scottish state stopped speaking Gaelic. There's a handful of letters in the latin alphabet that simply aren't used in Gaelic.

But it makes more sense if you remember that all the ths and dhs were originally pronounced as th is in english, so latha math wouldn't be la ma but latha math, and a dh'aithghearr would be even more crazy, and this brings the q-celtic languages more in line with welsh, where they still have th and dd sounds.

Yes, but at least we're not crude nationalists defending a reactionary dead language, like.

the problem is when languages die, is what they take with them, literature, oral traditions, naunces of expression which can never be regained, sure there's lots more important stuff to worry about - but culture is important, the death of a language detracts from the sum of human knowledge it doesnt add to it.

I don't know any. sad Why should I? angry Balls to all this linguistic romantic nationalism. Culture is what people create everyday through their interactions, not something you re-programme yourself with because your ancestors once spoke it.
