Freedom to choose denied

Recently members of staff at the University of Leeds have been informed that ethical concerns about companies will not be considered a valid reason for not choosing to buy goods off particular suppliers.

Bugger Blair!

26-02-2004 20:38

While we knew that Blair was an arrogant, duplicitous warmongering liar, I for one am shocked he thought he'd get away with bugging the UN Secretary General, even while preaching from on high about UN resolutions. Is it too much to ask that our politicians don't act like mafia gangsters?

To the European parliaments members

26-02-2004 19:57

Many of you believe that this resolution is crucial in the Palestinian conflict, however you have voted on it without consulting with the Friends of Palestine. It may have been that you were busy in the preparation for Geneva Accords while voting for this resolution. It may be that now you will doubt your vote. The resolution that you have supported violates the basic legitimate Palestinians rights to “terminate the occupation”, and the right of return, which is recognized under international law.
