Toxic Tabloid: 140+ News Corp papers share a global production system with NoTW

16-07-2011 05:34

The UK newspapers are one small set of a single, global newspaper production system. 140 newspapers share a single production system where all news is shared. So a crime in one newspaper is a crime for all.

The cancer metaphor is important because, like any multinational corporation, it has an integrated production system. In the case of the newspapers at News Corp, roughly 150 newspapers share a single platform. There is very deep intermingling between newspapers brands, within locations such as Wapping, the news factory for News of The World (and The Sun, The Times etc) and between geographic locations.

Why are we in the Whit Marley?

15-07-2011 20:44

Stop ASDA

ASDA kills small community businesses and stirchely has a lively local community which would be threatened by the construction of the multinational corporation; Asda. ASDA destroys livelihoods and community characters all in the name of profit for a few.

We are determined to not let this space be wasted on ASDA that would only damage the comunity, we are going to turn it instead in a comunity centre and a reasource for all the comunity.

Our Society is Bigger than Yours: Squatting and the Wider Political Rumblings

15-07-2011 18:59

Despite the attempts of Tory backbenchers to delegitimize squatting, and divide it from the issue of homelessness, the two remain inextricably linked: un-met housing needs, a supply of empty property, and squatting, go hand in hand in hand. But that’s about as far as the generalizations go; squatting is both a means and an end, and the ways that different individuals and groups put squatting into practice varies enormously.

The goofy arrival of Cameron’s Big Society, which provides us with a nice neighbourly back pat to see us through the cuts, and which gives us a sense of ‘involvement’, might lead one to think squatting could have even been embraced by the Con-Dem dogma. Would it not have fitted snugly in with “the spirit of activism, dynamism, people taking the initiative, working together to get things done”? [David Cameron, 2010 conference speech] For better or worse squatting was not invited in for tea and cake and I expect this is because, like the student movement, like those protecting the right to protest, like those preparing to take industrial action on the 30th, like all of these groups, squatting is political in a way that the Big Society is not.

News Of The Screws - Open letter to Governor of H.M.P Edinburgh

15-07-2011 16:19

Whilst the IPCC is busy investigating payments by newspapers to police officers for confidential information, nobody appears to be investigating payments to prison officers for confidential information about prisoners? Recently long-term prison resister John Bowden has fallen foul of this traffic of information in exchange for some crisp notes in a brown envelope when the Murdoch newspaper the Scottish Sun splashed a sensationalist story based on confidential insider information sold to it by a HMP Edinburgh screw. He is not taking it lying down and is asking for a full investigation:

Charlie Gilmour and Politically-Motivated Sentencing

15-07-2011 13:31

Gilmour not harming anybody during last winter's student protests
Charlie Gilmour - the adopted son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour - was today sentenced to sixteen months in prison for an act of political dissent which injured no-one. But Gilmour's is just the latest in a string of heavy penalties imposed on protesters. Unmistakably, the aim of this sentencing - plus police repression of those they don't arrest on demonstrations - is to set a "deterrent" against protest itself.
