Arrested, suspended, then banned from elections: my student experience

18-02-2014 10:38

On Wednesday 29th January I made a decision which has defined my short-term, if not long-term, future. It was a decision that I made after being kettled in the pouring rain by police for three hours. The decision I made was not to give the police my name. Maybe it was naive, maybe it was stupid, and it was probably mostly stubborn. But I did so for one simple reason: I felt I had been treated unjustly along with all of the other kettled protesters. I knew of my right not to give the police my name as a condition to be released from a kettle, and of my right to not be arrested for it. I knew that I had done nothing wrong. I had not committed any criminal damage or assault, and so I had nothing to fear. Having experienced similar situations in London, but in the position of the observer, I expected to be brought to the police station, to be interviewed immediately and to be released within a few hours without any charges. But that is not what happened.

War: "Academic" propaganda ... is a crime

10-01-2014 10:33

If media or academia really published a balanced "opinion" over war, they would always have to include, a genuine consideration of...law.

A particularly wretched self-serving Oxford "academic" called Professor Sir Hew Strachan, has been wheeled out by the British Establishment to front the link between World War One, and current British military..."thinking", which is...propaganda.

In the year 2014, the deliberate and cynical use, by academics, of ...propaganda, that leads to murder, must be legally challenged.

02-12-2013 07:40

Coming this fall, “9/11 in the Academic Community,” a Winner of the University of Toronto Film Festival, is a unique film that documents academia’s treatment of critical perspectives on 9/11 by exploring the taboo that shields the American government’s narrative from scholarly examination.

President Martin Schulz Corruption, religious bias in selection for NGO funding

06-11-2013 11:49

The European Parliament is Biased and Bigoted. It favours the norms and that is still right wing religious bigots and criminals and now LGBT and Feminist bigot groups. Any attempt to get justice for the people who as children and including children of to day who were used as weapons in the war for inclusion and acceptance gets you nothing but excuses and a deaf ear. Shame on you all.
