As cuts in services begin to bite, resistance is springing up across the country and Nottingham is no exception. Locally there are a number of campaigns around a number of issues. A well attended meeting organised by the Trades Council was the catalyst for the emergence of a new anti-cuts coalition called Notts Save Our Services.

On the newswire: Notts Save Our Services is launched | Budget cuts: There has to be a better way | Report on Broxtowe anti-academy meeting | Notts anti-cuts meeting report & anarchist leaflet | Nottingham Students Unite to Fight Education Cuts | Resistance to new academy in Broxtowe

Notts SOS launched on September 29 as millions of workers take to the streets across Europe in a Day of Action to protest against government-imposed austerity measures. In Spain, trade unionists held the first general strike in eight years, while in Brussels up to 100,000 demonstrators marched against austerity, while a small group clashed with police.

NATO expands Afghan war into Pakistan

02-10-2010 08:39

On October 7 the United States and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization military allies will begin the tenth year of their war in Afghanistan, over 3,000 miles from NATO Headquarters in Brussels.

The following month midterm elections will be held in the U.S. and NATO will hold a two-day summit in Portugal. The American administration is eager to achieve, or appear to have achieved, a foreign policy triumph in an effort to retain Democratic Party control of the Congress and NATO something to show for the longest and largest military mission in its 61 years of existence.

Not satisfied with the Vietnam that Afghanistan has become, NATO has now launched its Cambodian incursion. One with implications several orders of magnitude greater than with the prototype, though, into a nation of almost 170 million people, a nation wielding nuclear weapons. Pakistan.

Ed Miliband may have to learn much about Harriet, Gilligan and dossiers!

02-10-2010 00:35

Does Ed Miliband care about Harriet Harman's lifeline to George Galloway? The lifeline was most unexpected. However it is now very much a reality in the East End. By the time George Galloway surfaces in the East End, the lifeline will become quite tangible...It is very likely that George Galloway will stage a very subtle and effective propaganda onslaught of his own…He could not thank Harriet Harman enough, we have found.

‘Not Red Ed’ – reinventing Labour, again and again

01-10-2010 21:45

Amazing, after thirteen years of neo-Thatcherism, the beaten ‘party of labour’ all of a sudden rediscovers its ‘roots’. Who could trust such people? If the whole charade wasn’t such a miserable and desperate attempt to regain the ‘high ground’, Labour’s attempt to reinvent itself again, it would be nothing short of laughable.

Still from 'Listen To Venezuela'


Monday 4th October 2010, 8pm at the Cube Cinema, Stokes Croft, Bristol
Entry £3/£4 (but nobody refused entry for a lack of funds.)

Venezuela has many faces: A South American republic, a former Spanish colony, neighbour to Brazil in the south and Colombia to the west. It has the 7th largest reserves of oil in the world and currently supplies most of the US's daily oil needs.

Politicaly the country has had a turbulent history; wars, revolutions and Coup d'états - the most recent of which was in 2002. Listen To Venezuela takes the viewer into a contemporary revolution and extraordinary experiment in radical democracy and social justice. In Venezuela, people have rejected the savage neo-liberal capitalism that has been imposed the world over. The once marginalised majority have become political actors in a story they have reclaimed from the Venezuelan oligarchy, Western business interests and Washington. This ambitious documentary evokes the scale and difficulties of radical social change in a political and poetic collage.

The directors Mike Wayne and Deirdre O'Neill spent 11 months in Venezuela and made the film while they were working there. They will introduce the film and do a Q&A after-wards.
