THIS week, the OK cafe in Manchester banned the
'Cock O' the North' (Vol.2 No.1) after a complaint came in from a customer. Under the curious libertarian/ totalitarian rules of the cafe, it only takes one complaint to get a publication kicked out. It's no wonder then that after the recent trouble at the London Anarchist Bookfair in which the
'Northern Voices' stall was attacked by a group of protesters from a body called the Anarchist Federation, that Donald Rooum, the anarchist cartoonist who creates the character 'Wilcat', said that 'If you scratch a libertarian you'll find an authoritarian underneath!'
