Ride out against Birmingham airport expansion this Saturday

EDL Rooftop Demo at Dudley Mosque site

Early this morning the EDL staged a rooftop demo at the site of a proposed mosque where they had a demo just over a month ago. According to The Stirrer, the plan is for the demonstrators to stay for at least a week to show their opposition to the "Islamification to the town". They also claim there are just four people on the roof with a St. Georges flag and an Israeli flag, plus a banner saying "No Mosques"

May Day in Coventry

Yesterday was the first May Day celebration in Coventry for many years, organised by Coventry Against Racism. The organisers had planned to kick off the event with a march, followed by a "Festival" in Millenium Place. The police demanded a payment of £900 to close the street: and when organisers couldn't cough up, the march was banned.

All the same, some of the assembled May Day celebrators forgot about the ban and spontaneously took to the streets, reclaiming the road and holding a colourful procession from the Council House to Millenium place. Maybe just an act of token resistance -- but was great to see Coventry town centre give way to anarchic festivity on May Day, even if just for a brief pause. The parade was led by the banners of West Midlands No Borders: "asylum is not a crime"; "freedom of movement for all"; "no one is illegal"; and "working is not a crime".

Justice Not Crisis Members stand as Green Candidates

Justice not Crisis, a 'direct action' housing group based in Birmingham with links to the Optima Housing Association are standing as Green Party candidates in the general election on May 6th. They are also urging people to vote for the Tories to kick out Labour, even though the occupation of land they carried out a couple of years ago was entitled the 'John Lines Homeless Village'. The occupation sought to highlight the lack of socially available housing and was named after the Conservative Cabinet Member for Housing, John Lines.

The following is reposted from their website  http://justicenotcrisis.wordpress.com/2010/04/22/parliamentary-and-local-council-elections-2010/
