Pretty fucking non-existent, really. Which I, like you, feel a bit frustrated about, but with full-time job, masters degree, mental & physical health crap and dealing with family stuff, I just have to roll my eyes and say it'll happen later. I used to do a lot with one of my friends who I haven't seen for a while, he was a great dude and very involved, spent a lot of time camping with Brian Haw in Parliament Square. I miss the lunchtime demonstrations, they were great for a tiny bit of activism to break up the day! ;-) I'll probably try to get involved with other legal and environmental projects when I have time, as those are both big areas of interest for me. I'm hoping the degree will give me more concrete stuff to work on which will help with the activism too, so even if I don't enjoy it, it'll be helpful in the long run.
I was doing quite a bit of union stuff until the end of last year, including LGBT events (which I do count as activism in some regards), but have had to scale back a bit and will probably have to step down from my remaining role for a while. *sigh*

Union stuff is very good! I like union stuff! :-D I'm curious: What is this "remaining role" that you speak of?
Also, environmental stuff is something I can really get behind! Although I was never a member of Earth First! (http://www.earthfirst.org/), I did work on environmentally-themed campaigns with some of their people back when I lived in Arizona! Good stuff!
I'm the branch LGBT officer. I was going to organise an event for LGBT History Month in Feb, but I wasn't well enough :-(
I used to be shop steward and assistant regional coordinator, but I had to give up the other roles when I started doing the degree.
I may get involved in Green Party politics when I have more time, since I don't need political clearance or anything. I suppose I could also volunteer at Planning Aid for London, which is a charity giving free planning advice.
