Use a little bit of imagination comrades - its stocked in all the radical bookshops in the UK and available from AK Distribution and Active Distro. The editorial address remains the same as it has done for many years - Black Flag, BM Hurricane, London, WC1N 3XX, UK. Each issue costs £3 + £1 p&p. UK cheques payable 'Black Flag'. The new issue will hit the streets within the next 10 days or so.

I always thought Weil was such a fascinating character. Her interest in mysticism is probably something most anarchists would want to brush over, but I think it's a vital part of her personality. I'd be very interested to read that article.

Re;Simone Weil-She spoke at the Auschwitz commemoration in Poland a few years ago as a representative of the UN! She has come a long way since condemning the Durruti Column for shooting a 15yr old Fascist who refused to recant.I don't know too much about her but what i have heard she sounds like a liberal but i maybe wrong.

I think you are mixing Simone Weil with Simone Veil. Different people - both French and both Jewish. The former was born in 1909 and died in 1943. The latter was born in 1927, and is, as far as I know, still alive.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Simone Weil hasn't been speaking anywhere for quite a while.

Simone Weil died in Ashford Kent....there is a road named after her if I remember correctly.

Is the new Black Flag actually out yet? I looked for it at the local Anarchist Bookfair (Montreal), but couldn't find it. Got the new Aufheben instead.
