The Organ Grinder & his Monkey

Anarchist activist & NV contributor Barry Woodling (above, with umbrella) spent this Bank Holiday weekend canvassing for the Green Party candidate for the Swinton South in the run-up to Salford City Council local elections next Thursday. The Swinton South candidate is Joe O'Neill (above, with placard), a former Lib-Dem councillor in the ward, and a personal friend of Barry.

This is curious because anarchists usually oppose all forms of party political elections. But busy Barry has used this holiday to distribute thousands of part political leaflets for the Green Party.
