Belated Newbury nostalgia pics from 10 years ago.

16-01-2006 11:52

Balun(?) spent 2 weeks up this tripod until local rednecks tipped it over
Historical report with pictures from the unprecedented direct action protests against the route clearance destruction for the Newbury bypass 10 years ago. Hopefully this will seem particularly relevant when it has been recently revealed that peak traffic levels in the Berkshire town are now equal to those before the bypass was built - years before this was predicted to actually happen. This proves conclusively - as if there wasn't proof enough - that traffic invariably grows to fill any new road capacity created.

Bush to criminalize protesters under Patriot Act as "disruptors"

15-01-2006 11:16

Bush wants to create the new criminal of "disruptor" who can be jailed for the crime of "disruptive behavior." A "little-noticed provision" in the latest version of the Patriot Act will empower Secret Service to charge protesters with a new crime of "disrupting major events including political conventions and the Olympics." Secret Service would also be empowered to charge persons with "breaching security" and to charge for "entering a restricted area" which is "where the President or other person protected by the Secret Service is or will be temporarily visiting." In short, be sure to stay in those wired, fenced containments or free speech zones.
