How English inner city councils are causing poverty and destitution in 2006

Gordon Brown's hype of 'Islamic banking' and his claim that he is Islamic-banking-friendly, should be seen in context: Most of today’s inner city poor need not be in poverty. They are being pushed into poverty by Labour councils in the main. Most of the poor in East London are Muslim. So is there a problem of connection here?

Thirst for West Bank Water

13-06-2006 20:30 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Repression | World

One example of this vastly unequal division of water resources is my West Bank village of Qira. Every summer the Israeli company that supplies water to our village and that provides about 53 percent of the total Palestinian domestic water supply deliberately cuts off our water, thus generating a crisis. Last year Qira, a village of 1,000 residents, had no water for more than three continuous weeks, despite the summer heat.

In a blunt repudiation of democratic norms, Tilman said the nation’s constitution was “out of step with reality,” adding there was ample room for the president to declare it invalid. Reinado complained that “there has not been much progress” in solving the crisis and said Gusmao “needs help”. While Gusmao has yet to make any public statement, according to Australian military commander in East Timor Mick Slater, he is “engaging” three rebel groups, including the one led by Reinado.

Behind the Lies of the Australian Prime Minister

12-06-2006 09:57 | Analysis | Culture | Social Struggles | World

It’s not difficult to arrive at an accurate assessment of the present Oz leadership, the government of John Howard. Love Howard or not, he has the local population eating his lies like it was manna from heaven. Howard’s treasurer recently announced that the Oz government was out of debt, in view of a national foreign debt of $493 billion, the highest ever recorded by an astronomical ‘mile’, the announcement of no government debt becomes meaningless double-talk. But which figure does the public prefer to embrace? The lie of course, it’s far more comforting – the media’s emphasis on the treasurer’s remarks at the expense of the horrendous crippling debt is not unintentional.
