Tube strike. They had PLENTY of warning.

07-09-2007 12:30

"We are the RMT..."
One of more nauseating (if predictable) aspects of this weeks strike by RMT maintenance workers was the pitiful claims by the corporate media. The usual ‘They went on strike without warning’ and ‘they sabotaged the negotiations by walking out’ claims have been flying around the national newspapers and TV news. Actually the ballot for strike action was announced VERY publicly (see photos below) 7 weeks before Tuesday’s stoppage.

UK Bangladeshis robbed via 'First Solution' still haven't got their money!

07-09-2007 10:06

We are continuing to the put these Open Questions to Bethnal Green and Bow MP George Galloway because it was his involvement [including his speech on the subject in the House of Commons on 18 July 2007] 'to help the victims' that was used by a number of elements to implement their diversion away from the shoulders of the perpetrators.

We are also doing so because we have not had any response from the offices of G Galloway or answers from anyone that has been claimed by the 'Respect' 'coalition ' to be 'campaigning for the victims'

07-09-2007 08:46

The Chaser Fake APEC Security ID
It took just a few minutes for a satirical skit by comedians to pierce the $250 million Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation meeting security coccoon in Sydney on Thursday. With three black cars, a couple of motorbikes and men in black running alongside, the motorcade breezed through two police security checkpoints arriving outside the Intercontinental Hotel where US President George Bush is staying.

Class Is Still the Issue

06-09-2007 23:54

A state of parallel worlds determines almost everything we do and how we do it, everything we know and how we know it. The word that once described it, class, is unmentionable, just as imperialism used to be. Thanks to George W Bush, the latter is back in the lexicon in Britain, if not at the BBC.

Demo at high commission demanding release of Bangladeshi political prisoners

06-09-2007 23:39

There was a demonstration outside the Bangladesh high commision in London today to protest against the manner in which student protests are being crushed in that country and also against the arrest and torture of academics on bogus charges of incitement. The protests occuring in Bangladesh against the 7 month old non-party caretaker government are as a result of the inhumane uprooting of roadside traders, markets and slums, the continually rising price of essentials and the privatisation of many industries at the dicate of the egregious IMF and World Bank.

Middle East Madness

06-09-2007 22:52

Then there's Congress on both sides of the aisle and presidential candidates hawkishly posturing for whatever they imagine it gains them. The public overwhelmingly opposes more war and wants the Iraq one ended. But those ideas are nowhere in sight on the campaign trail or Capitol Hill where the Iran Counter-Proliferation Act of 2007 will likely pass easily now that Congress is reconvened. It cleared the House Foreign Affairs Committee 37 to 1 June 28 and after passing both Houses will become effective January 1, 2008. It hardens the existing Iran Sanctions Act by closing loopholes in it with the intent to thwart all foreign investment in Iran and strangle the country economically.
