Last Hours publish (anti-)election poster
10-04-2010 10:19
As we head towards what is likely to be one of the most overly hyped general elections in recent history (voter confidence is down don't you know!) we felt the need to express a different opinion. An opinion that we have had enough of this sham democracy (in fact some of us have little faith in democracy altogether), that not only do these politicians not represent us but that any system of government is incapable representing us.We have put together an (anti)election poster. We hope that whilst we have put this out in the lead up to the 2010 general elections it remains relevant until we have rid our lives of this filthy charade.
You can download the poster or order some from us for £1 per 10 posters or £5 solidarity price (the solidarity price will help us put out more of this sort of thing in the future). All orders from our shop will include a copy. Order from
http://www.lasthours.org.uk/products-page/?category=13. Download a hi-res version from http://www.lasthours.org.uk/articles/the-politics-of-life/ We hope to see these posters up in workplaces, homes, social centres etc in the coming weeks.

While our rulers claim to embrace democracy with a dangerous fervour, it’s probably fair to say that many of us have rather less enthusiasm for the elections that come around with such regularity.University of Salford End Animal Experimentation

University of Salford End Animal ExperimentationCommunities in Resistance – Opposing New Coal Together
09-04-2010 15:12
Despite the Scottish government’s ambitious Climate Change Bill, the coal industry in Scotland grows day by day as companies profit while the communities who are directly affected by this are ignored.
We believe in the power of community and that people can combine forces and work together to resist the many negative aspects of coal; from the destruction of local wildlife habitats and community health to the global effects of climate change.
