Calais, ville propre
10-05-2010 14:22
A silent protest was held near an official ceremony, celebrating the triumph over fascism in World War II. Activists wore white overalls with images of arrests of Afghan migrants and of some of the repeated raids on, and thefts at, ‘Africa House’, all perpetrated by the French authorities.
Apparently unable to bear the embarassment and shame of having the ugly truth made available for all to see, the two activists wearing the display were promptly handcuffed and whisked away by the police. They also arrested activists filming the event. All were released shortly after.
Then No Borders activists and a substantial number of migrants participated in a protest called by the C’SUR collective against the harassment of migrants in Calais. Following the demo, participants headed towards the site of daily food distribution. Three police vehicles arrived and officers poured out to try and arrest the migrants. They succeeding in catching five of them, one of whom was on crutches and therefore unable to escape.

So I watch catastrophe unfold.Neither the right or the left see the problems, and dogmatic bigotted Marxists do their damnedest to suppress ideas. Are there any scientific Marxists ready to work with Plebs' College on the Dialectical Synthesis of Marx and Malthus?

Bella Caledonia stands beside Spinwatch in demanding transparency and honesty from groups like Forth (‘forward thinking from Ireland’). This article, which originally appeared in Forth’s online magazine is about disinformation and covert groups posturing as left with a right wing agenda. At the end of a fortnight of electoral spin and counter spin DAVID MILLER and CLAIRE ROBINSON of SpinWatch respond to Forth‘s own distortion and expose yet another LM Network front group:

Unpeople
09-05-2010 20:24
This is the stuff of Burroughs not Orwell. The media elite have created an ‘unpeople’ governed by an invisible party only seen in fleeting glimpses of the ‘campaign’. These ‘unpeople’ also have certain ‘unmentionable’ topics, and this is the reason they are not allowed on your screens. These ‘unmentionables’ are ‘Trident’, ‘ID cards and the [...]
Community Venture
09-05-2010 20:24
The Canongate Venture has had a varied history. First built as a primary school, then changed to a school of building, then craft and small business space for affordable rent. Now it lies almost empty while the Council and Mountgrange's administrators scurry around looking for a new developer to demolish it. Its long overdue to relet this space for local crafts, makers and small and start up businesses. It can also provide much needed space for the community, space for community recycling, space for community organisations to meet, and the potential for a landscaped play area. There is lots of potential and it cannot be considered surplus to requirements any longer.SOOT continues to call on Edinburgh Council to bring our building back into use
Come and play at Canongate Venture playground on Sunday 9th May from 2pm
