Synchronized with the U.S. action on the 29th, the European Union announced it plans to impose a wide range of sanctions against Syria including the now typical portfolio of travel bans, the freezing of assets and an arms embargo.

Bradford MayDay 2011

In Bradford May Day also marks the Birthday of the 1in12 club, a locally run self-organised space, which has been active for 30 years. The Mayday celebrations were arranged, in an organisational sprint lasting only a few weeks, by volunteers from the 1in12 club, Raise The Roof (a staging and facilities enterprise which grew out of Bradford Festival), Bradford Playhouse, Bradford People’s Coalition Against The Cuts, and a range of interested individuals.

There has been another successful series of events surrounding May day, the traditional workers' holiday.

In the North of England it was more relaxed this year, with marches in Newcastle [2], Leeds [3] on Saturday and Manchester [4] on Sunday and a festival in Bradford [4] on the Sunday.

The weekend got started in fine form with very blue skies, nice sunshine and a relaxed and “joyful” pageant filled mood at the anti Royal Wedding beach party. About 100 people enjoyed the day away from their TV screens and propaganda. Some folk i guess just don't know their station in life and have no respect for tradition...pesky Anarchists.
