Free Red Rag 19 Sept Another Bumper Soviet Harvest (... some of my plants are this high!) Red Rag... is Reading's only newspaper. It's free and fortnightly and is produced by a jolly sound (if small at the moment) group of people. It is not linked to any political organisation, nor to the University. 1250 copies are produced: half go out through shops and other outlets, the rest being distributed by a faithful and dogged band of individuals to the door of anyone asking for it. Opinions expressed are those of individual contributors and the people in the collective are discouraged from making replies to articles in the same issue (so they're in the same situation as everyone else!!) Anyone is welcome to write, but please say how you can be contacted and whether you mind being edited. The reason why this issue is so small is because nobody seems to have felt like writing anything much. So send in your news and reviews and comments for next issue, why not? Help in production is always wanted (see in events diary) and so is money. At the moment we're sort of solvent but after this is paid for, we'll near the brink again. So keep the money rolling in - and don't stint on the zeroes! Donations big or small to Flat 7, 66 Wokingham Road, or Acorn Bookshop, 17 Chatham street, or to collecting tins in many of the outlets. Cheques should be payable to Red Rag.

This is partially for my own benefit, but also in a response to the actions of a number of over-zealous landlords who own houses in my area. For landlords in East Reading, September seems to be the end of the financial year. This is when people are given the big E from their homes (either by harassment or illegal eviction) and the rent is upped for new tenants moving in. Another tactic is to intimidate tenants into signing away their rights of security, structural repair or registering rent, with the promise of no agro for another year if the rent is up to date. Lots of information is available for tenants in difficulty from Housing Aid in the Civic Centre. I've found they have a wide range of easy to understand leaflets on various kinds of tenancies, the rent act, registering rent, landlords' obligations for providing facilities, amenities and structurally secure accommodation. Housing Aid is a good place to begin finding out your rights, though learning how to enforce them against a rabid landlord is something that only comes with practice. For my part I'm trying to set up housing and welfare rights workshops at Cumberland Road Community House on Thursday evenings, not only with the aim of becoming learned in the finer details of housing and claimants' rights, but for gaining practical experience in what to do with the laws and acts once they've been learnt about. In many landlord-tenant disputes the police will only get involved if there's a breach of the peace. For civil cases some tenants need solicitors for legal advice. Legal aid needs to be applied for. There's the emotional stress to be coped with, and a lot of footwork involved, not to mention the demands that collecting evidence or going to court and recalling traumatic experiences makes on people. When people are having their last secure environment removed or eroded it hits very hard. So if you're interested in doing something about the unreasonable landlord, be it yours or anyone else's, then please let me know. John Humphries, 2 Amity Road, Reading. - - - NEWS ANIMALS Berks. Animal Rights Group Demo. On September 6th, 6.30pm we met outside the circus which had recently arrived in Reading. Before long we were moved on threateningly by circus workers. We made our stand on the pavement outside the circus, but twenty minutes later circus labourers came out with buckets of water and tiger's piss (a fine concoction). Julie, one of the demonstrators, was pushed against the railings and bruised her head. Most of the demonstrators were soaked - one guy's motorbike wouldn't start as a result, and he had to push it to the garage. The banners and placards we had were broken and thrown around the car park. The police were informed and came down, after taking a report they went to look for the girl who had hurt Julie - but they didn't find her, which usually happens if you don't look too hard. They left saying they'd be back the following day, giving the woman plenty of time to 'go to earth'. However, this is secondary. At least we made our presence felt, and perhaps even the circus labourers might stop to think about the cruelty of the organisation they help to run.

By Way of a Biased Review I've been listening to these people for over 10 years now, through different phases and line-ups, so excuse my enthusiasm. This is their second record, and an improvement on the last one ('Spredthick' £4, still available) in two ways; partly because it includes several of my all-time favourites, and partly because it hangs together as a record much better. Less flirtation now with the humorous material, for all that's fun live, and more of a showing-off of Simon's instrumental virtuosity and Hilary's amazing voice. Their arrangements, partly thanks to their use of multi-track, combine the various instruments really imaginatively (guitar, violin, double-bass, Mandolin) without losing their ability to create atmosphere with just a guitar and voice (e.g. 'Weeping Willow', a really rich rendering) of mandolin and voice on 'Bold Reynard', or just voice on 'Poor Girl Blues'. They don't fall into the trap of tinkling too much either. They describe their material as 'eclectic' and have all sorts of influences - blues, folk, bluegrass, Gershwin - listen to it if you're curious. And you can listen to them live anyway, 'cos this is a local band, folks. I'm not sure if they're still using the name Spredthick, but catch them if you can. It's hard to review a record without falling into cliche, but this one at least has been made by human beings, using their own hard-won equipment and well-honed creativity. They deserve support just for that, but I reckon their music wins purely on merit for its own sake. - Liz - - - UNDER LONDON There seems to be a human fascination for things subterranean. Just being underground seems to confuse our usual instincts and reactions. On childhood holidays a cave, a tunnel or an old wartime shelter demanded investigation. Once inside the tension starts to build - the smell, touch and sound of being underground is so different that our senses struggle for a reference point. Finally the communal nerve breaks and it is just kids yelling, screaming, running and tripping in a mad, blind dash back to the light. The fascination continues into adult life - the Romans had their catacombs, the Hell Fire Club had their old chalk mines at Wycombe. In the late 1950's Nigel Kneale sent TV audiences trembling to their beds with his 'Quatermass and the Pit' with its story of creatures unearthed during the building of an underground extension to the fictitious Hobbs Lane underground station. Our familiarity with underground railway travel allows us to forget those underground feelings. But take a tube station, remove the reassurance of ticket collectors, passengers on the platform and the arrival of lit and noisy trains - make it quiet and empty and put something sinister but intangible at the end of the tunnel and we are all back with those kids in their mad tumble back to the light. If you can identify with any of these feelings you will enjoy a booklet by Nigel Pennick called "Tunnels Under London". This book is crammed with information that will ensure that a ride on the tube will never be the same again. But the book is not just a cosy history of the London Underground. The author goes into great detail about such things as 'Route A' - a London Transport euphemism for the enormous civil service bunker under Holborn. You'll never take a train ride on Route A! At times Pennick's revelations come so thick and fast that the book begins to read like a conspiracy theory. The only answer to these doubts was to try to check out what he says on the ground. We go to investigate Route A. First stop is 39, Furnival Street, just off Holborn. Here, according to Pennick, we are supposed to find a squat, rectangular building which is the shafthead of the freight lift for the Holborn bunker. Furnival Street is a narrow, rather dingy street down the side of the Patent Office. When we arrive at number 39 we find it to be...well...a sort of squat, rectangular shafthead with large steel doors! Behind the doors is a large open cage lift large enough to take a family car (this we discover by using the old anarchist ploy of looking through the keyhole.) So far, so good. Next stop is one of the main ventilators in nearby Leather Lane. Leather Lane is a pedestrian precinct with no sign of what might be a ventilation shaft. In the middle of the precinct is what I believe architects call a 'feature'. It is a tall metal structure with seating space around the bottom for tired shoppers. Around the top of the structure are the stainless steel louvres of the ventilator grills. Next we stroll along to 31, High Holborn which we are told is the main personnel entrance to the bunker. As we are told, we find an anonymous looking office foyer crammed in between a sweet shop and an employment agency. The foyer is small and contains just a receptionists desk, a couple of chairs and a lift entrance - all clearly visible from the street. Without Pennick's direction I (along with the hundreds of people who must pass this building daily) would never have noticed that, although the building is only four storeys high, there are eight stops on the lift. Pennick's knowledge of the history of London's underground railway informs us that 31, High Holborn is built on the site of the old High Holborn tube station entrance. Now all this doesn't mean that there is a government bunker under Holborn - but it begs a lot of questions that Pennick at least can't get London Transport to answer. The last trip is to Monck Street to check out the alleged bunker under the Department of the Environment office. Pennick advises us to look out for a 'gas detector masquerading as a street sign'. Now, I have no idea what a gas detector looks like, but I do know that a street sign, slightly fatter than normal and with a rotating louvred cylinder on top is not usual. Pennick also gives us new angles on history. During World War II, underground railway stations were used as public air-raid shelters. Although this may seem an obvious use, London Transport strongly resisted the idea. The government wasn't too keen either because it feared that, given access to deep shelters, the people wouldn't come back up to work next morning. When the use of stations was officially organized it was already a fait accompli - during a particularly bad air-raid East End anarchists smashed the locks on the tube stations' gates and the local population took cover. The most haunting anecdote is about North End station. In 1906 the underground railway was extended north to the expanding suburbs of Golders Green and Hampstead. North End station was built during the tunnelling process but, when the hoped-for development of Hampstead Heath did not materialize, it was never opened. Eventually the surface plot was sold off and is now No.1 Hampstead Way. Fifty or so feet beneath the ground sits North End station, waiting for trains that will never come. L.

Potter, Flat 6, 6 Eldon Road - - - LETTERS Dear Red Rag This is a letter which I sent to both local newspapers with regard to an article in the Evening Post and as a reply to Mr Ron Jewitt, Chairman of the Housing Committee and his so called chairing of that meeting on 6 September 1983: As I fully support the demolition of Bison Homes in Scot Close and Tay Rd, I must state that there are other problems which arise from this project in the future, especially where rehousing is the priority. Bison tenants are in the first place getting priority and justly so, but one-must become aware that this pushes those already on the waiting list further down this list and another years' wait. There is an ever increasing list of people in bed & breakfast accommodation. This is a sheer waste of rate payers money and a disgraceful way of treating people in 1983. Money spent on this should be used to build and improve homes for them and those on the waiting list. Despite the argument that the Council are trying to help by providing shared-ownership schemes to help them and first time buyers, the net rent/mortgage for some of these properties could be around £200 per week. Does everyone earn this amount in weekly wages to be able to afford this sort of scheme? Surely if they could then they should purchase on the open market thus freeing these sort of homes for rent to help the needy. As regards to the sale of council land, I find it amazing that the so-called party of the businessman can sell off valuable assets at knockdown prices. How many businessmen could sell off assets so cheaply? By this policy and the sale of new property, the Tories have virtually stopped all Council house building because there will be no land to build on. The only people to gain will be the property developers, builders, solicitors, estate agents, and everybody but the homeless and tenants seeking better accommodation. Yours sincerely, Councillor Maureen Lockey Dear Red Rag, In answer to Ken Peacock's letter concerning my article on the policed state, I can only ask, is he sure it was my article he read, or was it perhaps another article entirely, imagined in an hysterical afterthought?
