Looking back, we’ll be showing some clips from the best talks of
the past couple of years, bringing along our favourite interesting
(funny/amazing/powerful/shocking) viral videos (not including cats
falling off things or dogs wearing sunglasses, honest).
We're also going to be celebrating a campaign that after 15 years
is still going strong. After decades of dominance by car-culture,
join the Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways as we celebrate their
impressive record of victories that have secured the survival of
local railways. Join us in celebrating this achievement with
films, songs and poems and a look at what Thomas Cook (the man not
the company!) considered the most scenic railway in Europe.
An informative and entertaining night is promised!

London Oxford St Topshop Shut in #Ukuncut Action
04-12-2010 12:22
11.20am As part of around 23 decentralised actions across the country London's Oxford Street Top Shop has been shut down by over one hundred UKuncut protestors.
People gathered inside the store shortly before 11am. Security began physically throwing out press or anyone with 'big lenses' whilst a sit down was held, stickers saying "this item is free" were plastered about, and chants rang out:
- "Where did all our money go? He sneaked it off to Monaco"
- "If you want to sell your clothes, pay your tax!"
- "We voted Lib Dem, look at what we got from them: Cuts, job losses, money for the bosses"
Soon and the shop was closed down and a line of police formed outside. Plenty of other targets still out there :)
