Labour MP's response to Workfare
03-04-2013 16:55
Had written to local Nottingham MP to enquire after attitude to workfare.
As you can see, the Labour position on all this is not exactly satisfactory.
When addresing the lack of labour backbone in actually voting against the 'emergency legislation', I especially enjoyed the statement "I do understand why it would have sent a good message to the country if the government were shown to voted down on these issues, but there are reasons why this did not take place".
Labour’s 43 welfare sanctions rebels 19 March 2013
There were a total of 43 MPs rebelling against the Labour whip.
The vast majority of Labour MPs abstained on the Jobseekers Bill this afternoon – as they were whipped to do – despite the fact that the Bill sought to protect sanctions for a system that Labour thinks is worse than useless.

David Parry: Neo-Fascist!
03-04-2013 16:18
David William Parry is a man on the rise in the London Heathen community. Parry has made a name for himself as a Heathen Priest of Nerthus, a poet, and a playwright. Most well-known for organizing the London Thing in 2012 which was attended and blessed by Freya Aswynn, Parry is growing increasingly active and visible. By all appearances he is a man who should be welcomed. He is educated, an artist, and runs a play company. Only on further examination does the real David Parry come to light.EGYPT: Nothing has changed, but everything begins…

03-04-2013 08:55
Saturday 30 March 2013, University of Nottingham Campus
Seven homes on the University Park Campus have been designed and constructed to various degrees of innovation and flexibility to allow the testing of different aspects of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), energy efficient design and renewable energy systems.
The project is a research and educational showcase of innovative state-of-the-art energy efficient homes.
It aims to stimulate sustainable design ideas and promote new ways of providing affordable, environmentally sustainable housing that are innovative in their design.
Structures known as the Nottingham H.O.U.S.E (Home Optimising the Use of Solar Energy), it was designed and built by students from the Department of the Built Environment at the University of Nottingham.
Built with a mass market in mind, the aim was to show how a small, eco-friendly 'starter' home could be produced - one with the ability to sit side by side with other houses as part of a terrace.

The Master Race Goes to the Pub [again]
01-04-2013 16:55
Saturday 30 March, Derby Road, Nottingham
Far right activists, led by Casuals United and Tony Curtis of the English National Resistance, had announced a demonstration against a Muslim conference in Nottingham at the weekend.
Originally arriving on the Nottingham University campus, a sizable police operation became apparent. On grounds opposite the East Midlands Conference Centre, two large marquees had been erected to accomodate officers. The approach to the Conference Centre was controlled by the universities own security personal [personally, I didn't know they employed that many!] Anyway, they didn't like me photographing on the campus, and was removed ..... twice!
Those involved in their demonstration got no where near the Conference Centre of course, and not even getting past the campus gates. I first met them being escorted down the road, away from the western entrance of the university. The police were escorting the 10 - 20 folks the short walk, directly to the pub, a Toby Carvery on the Derby Road.
While I took some photos, a local resident came and asked me what was going on. I explained and he said he was just going in there himself. Since when the group had initially gone in, I noticed many of the customers, some with children, leaving. I asked him if he would ask the pub manager why they were being served, semingly at the expense of his regular customers.
EMAF Said: "In spite of national call outs and attendances by the North West Infidels, Paul Pitt of the South East Alliance, Casuals United, the English National Resistance, Nottingham EDL and the EVF, barely a dozen people bothered turning up for Tony Curtis’ demo at Nottingham Uni yesterday. After plotting up at a nearby Toby carvery the pitiful crowd weren’t even allowed onto the campus and had to stand around in the road outside listening to Tone the Moan. Casuals United reckon they go where they want but as usual they meekly went exactly where the police wanted them. They didn’t get close to the event they were supposed to be protesting or speak to the general public so the whole thing was a waste of time."
