Defending Moazzam Begg and Amnesty International

Just when it seemed that Republicans in America had a monopoly on Islamophobic hysteria, the Sunday Times prompted a torrent of similar hysteria in the UK by running an article in which an employee of Amnesty International — Gita Sahgal, head of the gender unit at the International Secretariat — criticized the organization that employed her for its association with former Guantánamo prisoner Moazzam Begg.

Quantitative Easing, what it is and why it’s not working

The Bank of England would like to stimulate the economy, but I don’t believe that is QE’s real purpose. What it was meant to do was to cover a UK debt hole that most people don’t understand but could push the economy into depression.

EDL Bottles Out Of Bolton Nazi Brawl

The excellent news for everybody who finds racism repulsive is that the neo-Nazi (in denial) cretins of the EDL have decided not to seik heil around Bolton after a customary visit to Wetherspoons. The street-fighters of the EDL had deliberately planned their riotous punch-up to coincide with a multi-faith gathering, hoping the gutter antics of their football hooligan masterrace would drive a wedge between Muslims and people of other religions setting community against community resulting in an increase in racial tension.

Uncovering The Rapid Rise & Growth Of Far-Right Radicalism In Russia

A few days ago we posted an article regarding the rapid rise and growth of some of Russia's very own Neo-Nazi paramilitary groups. These groups have been responsible for hundreds of racially motivated attacks against immigrants and refugees, plus many more murders. They typically record these attacks/murders so that they can eventually be shown to brainwash and control young recruits.

The killing tracks of Britain

You can never be sure of a winner in greyhound racing but greyhound’s getting smashed-up is a dead cert. Gulleen Star, Loughmore Boy, Kilkeedy Blue, Ardera Express, Malbay Katie, Glenske Sky, Skywalker Brenda and Fida Cascada were just some of the greyhounds to lose their life in January 2010, all in the name of sport, all soon forgotten.

EDL are racist thugs

The English Defence League (EDL) claim to be against extreme Islam yet on their website is a link to a news story of an Asian man being convicted of rape. What has this got to do with extreme Islam? Which other groups highlight black/asian crime? The BNP and the NF.

Corruption in Ghana: Who is to Blame?

The racist and anti-Afrikan Western media likes to publish to its readers that some how the Afrikan is innately corrupt and it is this trait in the Afrikan that is responsible for the chronic under development and impoverishment of the contnient.

This assertion is nothing more than a vile racial slur which my article will prove. What Westerners are not aware is that White governments and multi-national companies are at the root of this corruption enticing naive Afrikans to get what they want.

How will we feed 9 billion people in 2050?

A talk & debate in Redditch on Wed 3 February will deal with one of the most urgent issues facing the world today. Our planet already suffers devastating damage due to intensive food production. Fertile land is turned to desert, food & water supplies are under intense pressure and yet, world population growth continues to go through the roof. Whilst governments pour resources into tackling terrorism, Global Food Security is a far more serious threat to people across the globe.

The EDL Issue Terror Threats To Taxi Drivers

Stooping to new fascist lows, the police and private hire companies have revealed how the paramilitary masked neo nazi thugs of the EDL issued racist death threats to taxi drivers throughout the Stoke district on the day of the EDL meeting, copying tactics used by loyalist paramilitaries in Belfast during the troubles, when Catholic taxi drivers were murdered by loyalist gangs for their religion.

EDL Riot In Stoke by ‘Malatesta’

Following the violence, vandalism and arrests in Stoke yesterday the EDL have very mixed feelings about what happened. Despite a strong turnout the trouble has created a lot of bad publicity and schisms amongst supporters. However, there are also serious lessons for anti-fascists.
