Vegan Children Some of the Healthiest in the World

25-02-2005 18:04

The BBC is failing in its supposed role as a public service broadcaster, says the Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation (VVF), after giving widespread publicity to a seriously flawed, unscientific piece of propaganda claiming that vegan children risk damaging their health by excluding meat. The claim, made by Lindsay Allen of the US Agricultural Research Service, was given prominent billing by BBC News on-line and featured on the Jeremy Vine show and Ken Bruce shows on BBC Radio 2. It concerned Paul McCartney so much that he made a rare phone-in to the Jeremy Vine show.

Grave Threat to Civil Liberties in the UK

22-02-2005 19:39

The government has recently tabled two amendments to the Serious Organised Crime Bill currently going through Parliament and due to become law by May 2005. These are breathtaking assaults on civil liberties. The laws have been presented to the public – via a compliant media - as necessary to prevent animal rights extremism. They go much further than this, however, and criminalise ordinary protest activity such as consumer boycotts or even handing out leaflets to the public.

Revolt of the Unpeople in Brussels

22-02-2005 12:47

We are on the train from Cologne to Brussels to cover Mr. Bush's visit to the European Union for Indymedia UK. Newsstands and websites display pictures of happy European statesmen - Jacques Chirac looking aggressively relaxed during the handshake - and the talk is of rapprochement, a new partnership between America and Europe. Like a bad song or an awkward lover, Mr. Bush declares to the assembled notables that “no power on Earth could ever divide us.”

SWP IS NOT A REGISTERED POLITICAL PARTY

22-02-2005 08:15

Many people on this website refer to the SWP as a "party",
they are not! After looking up the political party register
the SWP is not listed. So if people could refer to SWP as disruptive faction that destroys anti-war groups and other radical initiatives we will be nearer the truth about SWP

BENEFIT CLAIMANTS ARE FACING MORE INTIMIDATION!

20-02-2005 13:02

Note the following article on Sheffield Indymedia:

 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2005/02/304633.html

The above article was the first time I've seen anything at all on this issue, there are many people here in Liverpool and elsewhere on social security benefits both in work and out of work, disabled, sick or retired. Many claimants have had the pressures put upon them, I for one have been getting letters pressuring me for months and months into accepting payment firstly into a Post Office (P.O.) card account.

In a little-noticed development, the UK Government's ID card plans include the capturing of a 'facial biometric' for every UK citizen. A video camera maps the contours of your face into a unique set of numbers, which could be used to identify people from CCTV photos, using technology already used in the London Borough of Newham
