Anti-Deportation Picket in Solihull

26-08-2006 06:09

Like on every last Friday of the past few months, a picket was held yesterday at the immigration reporting centre in Solihull. The 'theme' for this month was "stop racist deportations!" Many of the 'usual faces' could not make it down (was it due to the Climate Change Camp, the newly occupied Cottage Social Centre or, perhaps, summer holidays?), so the turn-up was less than in previous month and the demo less lively. But the 'pitch' still looked crowded as bigger-than-normal numbers of asylum seekers had to sign on on that day due to the Bank Holiday on Monday.

Peoples do not win wars, only governments.. People only delight in war when they are poisoned by propaganda and indoctrinated by the school, media and religion.. War, this orgy of killing and destroying, is the absolute horror.. Peace can only be made with enemies. Despite everything, we on this earth are condemned to negotiate reconciliation.

Desperate times – desperate measures

25-08-2006 13:08

One thing is abundantly clear, the empire is in deep shit and like any cornered animal, they are extremely dangerous. The ‘terror alert’ is indicative of just how desperate they are risking even the destruction of the airline industry in order to put the frighteners on the populace. But has it worked? On one level, yes as the events on an aircraft from Spain bound for London reveal, with the xenophobic Brits refusing to travel on the plane with two people who looked “Middle Eastern” onboard.

This Weeks SchNEWS - Ready? Charge! - Surviving The Day After Tomorrow

How many media articles does it take to change to an energy saving lightbulb?
The double-whammy of peak oil and climate change have recently become much more mainstream, but the (if you’ll pardon the expression) ‘roadmap’ to a sustainable future is still very sketchy. Of course our governments are still too focussed on unsustainable growth of an oil-based economy to do anything much about either issue. But there’s little point in waiting for them to sort it out, when there’s so many positive ideas and capacity for real change to be found at the community and grassroots level.

25-08-2006 01:35

The Icelandic highlands are the last great expanse of true wilderness left in Western Europe. Now the country's hydroelectric potential has been targeted by multinational corporations, who intend to establish large-scale heavy industry in these hitherto pristine hinterlands. These multinational vandals - willingly helped by the Icelandic government - are about to produce an environmental catastrophe of unprecedented proportions.
