Iraq whistleblower speaks
17-04-2004 00:10
This story has parallels with the case of Katharine Gun, the GCHQ whistleblower.In both cases, the informant has risked prosecution to tell the truth. The truth
in this case is that the Danish Prime Minister lied to the Danish people to try to
force the case for war in Iraq. Sounds familiar?

Road Construction Disrupted at Blackwood
16-04-2004 22:44
Protesters continued to disrupt construction work at Blackwood this week by climbing onto diggers, obstructing the path of construction vehicles and occupying land on which work was taking place. These tactics proved so successful, despite the small number of protesters, that extra security staff were drafted in by construction company Costain, and extra fencing has been commissioned in an attempt to keep protesters out (yeah right!).1000 HAVE-NOTS STORM ELITE HOTEL IN MONTREAL

16-04-2004 20:10
A British cyclist was jailed for 16 months after admitting to slashing almost 2,000 vehicle tyres in revenge for the actions of "inconsiderate" motorists.Ashley Carpenter, 37, began his one-man campaign attacking tyres on 548 cars, vans and lorries with a sharpened screwdriver after one car almost knocked him off his bike and another splashed him with a puddle.
Judge Stephen Lennard, sentencing Carpenter at Bournemouth Crown Court in southern England, called the scale of the revenge spree, costing an estimated 250,000 pounds (375,000 euros, 460,000 pounds) in new tyres and other expenses to victims, "breathtaking".
"In December last year, motivated by frustration and anger at what you considered to be the inconsiderate manner of motorists as experienced by you as a cyclist and a pedestrian, you embarked on your astonishing and extraordinary campaign," Lennard said.
Unemployed Carpenter -- described by his own defence counsel as a "socially inadequate" loner -- had decided to "send out a message to motorists", the judge said.
"In a period of 10 to 11 days, armed with a sharpened screwdriver, probably sharpened for the purpose, you went out and punctured 1,728 separate tyres on 548 different motor vehicles" in Bournemouth and nearby Christchurch.
"The scale of the damage and the financial consequences of it are breathtaking."

US marines are shooting hundreds of Iraqis for objecting to the illegal invasion of their country or, in many cases, for nothing. This is crass, open, straightforward imperialism. If we don't oppose it meaningfully what's the point of whinging about it?SMASH CAPITALISM FOR CRICKET MAYDAY LONDON
