BANNER THEATRE ON TOUR, JUNE AND JULY 2005

BANNER THEATRE ON TOUR, JUNE AND JULY 2005

W I L D G E E S E
------------------

SONGS OF EXILE, SONGS OF MIGRATION
----------------------------------

WILD GEESE looks at migration from the point of view of the migrants themselves, exploring their hopes, dreams and often harsh realities. The show exposes the great divide between those who build fortunes from the forced migration of the world's peoples and those much vilified refugees, asylum seekers and 'economic migrants' forced to leave homes and loved ones in search of work, refuge and survival.

- "It is so important that people speak up about the issues of racism and of prejudice against refugees and asylum seekers, and I believe your production is a wonderful way of doing just that" (Tony Brett Young, Mayor, London Borough of Sutton)

- "It shocked me to see what Britain and America do to cause so many of the world's problems" (6th former, Swinton High School, Manchester)

- "A superb performance" (Peterborough Racial Equality Council)

Catch this exciting and informative new show at one of the following venues, or see the website,  http://www.bannertheatre.co.uk, for an up-to-date tour schedule:

iraq quagmire or Genocide

The so-called progressive Neo-liberal media in the US are more closed minded in support of invasion than the the rightwingers who occupied Iraq. That is why not only we don't have anti-war movements but actually there is no credible voice if dissents.Here is one example of a neo-liberal hypocricy. They are using the argument about the Quagmire in Iraq as a sokescreen to cover the genocide in iraq.

Stories on ELECTORAL FRAUD

I sincerely hope the British People won't stand idly by, like the Americans did, and allow this to happen. Take a page from the Ukrainians, the Lebanese. Both of their Movements were CIA-sponsored, but we've been given a glimpse into their Handbook for Non-Violent Revolution, and should not waste the opportunity this presents us with. Not with Fascism on the march ...

Emile must stay!

My name is Emile Youmbie De Souzato; I was born in Yaounde capital of Cameroon on 31/01/77 and was raised by my mother as my father left us when I was very young. We lived in a poverty stricken area and were eventually forced to live on the streets, as my mother was unable to support us financially. I was bullied as a child and tried to earn money to support us but it was very hard.

Anti Election in Balsall Heath

It was all a bit last minute but activists in Balsall Heath managed to get 200 A2 anti-election posters out fly-posted in the area. We didn’t manage to get round to taking down the ‘Vote for me’ boards up the lampposts as we normally do, but there’s still time to do that, so that we have boards ready to put up lampposts next time, obviously with our own designs on.
