EU lifts sanctions on Cuba - "Beans & Phones"

20-06-2008 00:44

Now read that carefully before you wet your underwear. The EU has decided to lift sanctions on Cuba despite opposition by the USA, which will now continue as the only state sanctioning Cuba. As the BBC European editor Mark Marsdell put it very pithily on his blog "The foreign ministers' dinner finished about half an hour ago. They've decided to lift sanctions against Cuba". Meanwhile the Spanish language press has produced pages and pages of this and that spinning the decision any which way just in case tomorrow's first editions don't have a decent terror or escaped human story.

Operation Overkill as 11 Police Forces Snoop on Animal Rights Gathering

17-06-2008 13:53

Sorry for the blurry pics...
No doubt supremely jealous of animal rights folk meeting together, socialising , drinking lots of tea, helping on the sanctuary and of course workshops the police decided to get their own national gathering together. Being too wimpy to actually camp local hotels (so our sources tell us) burst at the seams with police at the bar, at the gym and comparing camera lens sizes with one another at every opportunity.

Approaching the Pullen Centre
While protesters were beaten and arrested at Whitehall, the police still had enough manpower and resources to take pictures and notes of individuals attending a public meeting, and eventually arresting two people for holding a banner. What's that smell? Not democracy.

I have pledged to support the first campaign by participating in the fast; others may be interested in how they can offer their support.

The Balloon Goes Up: Are We At A Peak Oil Tipping Point?

13-06-2008 23:58
