BBC Today Gets Undocumented Migrant Arrested

There was an outrageous piece on the BBC Radio 4's Today programme the other day exposing the 'scandal' of the Home Office not arresting and deporting undocumented workers. As part of the report, BBC reporter John Minel entraped a worker into talking about his immigration status, and then betrayed him to the Home Office, leading to the man's arrest and imprisonment.

Lebanon actions in Hackney

This morning residents of Hackney woke up to the ghastly images that have
started to confront the people of Lebanon on a daily basis. Horrific
pictures had been flyposted throughout the night in an attempt to make
people realise the true extent of the war crimes of Israel.

The British government and British companies like Marks & Spencer (see
www.bigcampaign.org) and Edo MBM (see www.smashedo.org.uk) are still
supporting and providing Israel with the money, backing, resources and
technology to commit human rights abuses against people in Israel, and to there neighbours. So this action was an attempt to show the full images that aren't being show or talked about in the mainstream press. Read more >>

Stop Guardian reviving Salman Rushdie backing Monica Ali attack on community

What or which is the single most pernicious ‘mainstream British media factory’ for legitimising racist falsification? It is not the London Daily Mail. We know that is what the Daily Mail wants to do. It is the Guardian which denies the accusation but does it daily. Closer examination of the Guardian’s staff composition shows that more of them follow the agenda of the racist Daily mail than would admit to doing. The Guardian’s latest crusade against the community in the East End of London has brought to the fore the latest version of a pro-racist phantom image which the Guardian then uses as the tool to enable the likes of Salman Rushdie to get back to doing what they are paid and given platform to do – justify racism under any pretext at any time. The community has been defamed by the likes of the Guardian for more than 50 years in the Eats End of London. Now they are resuming that assault via their composite

Solidariety to the hunger strikers in immigration detention

‘Please, deliver us from this racist prison of Colnbrook immigration removal centre.
We have been detained indefinitely without having committed any crime; our only one crime is to claim asylum in the UK.
