Reclaim Nottingham! party hits town
18-07-2011 08:55
On Saturday a roving street party against the enclosure of public space for private profit was held in the city centre. A mobile sound system toured around town paying visits to banks and other corporate targets. Participants gave out hundreds of flyers protesting social control of the city centre and the human and environmental destruction of the banks. Meanwhile Notts Uncut held a protest outside Vodaphone on Clumber Street after an incident in which a ten year old boy was alleged to have been assaulted by staff. The shop was forced to close early.

Reclaim Nottingham! flyer
FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PARTY
This street party is an attempt to reclaim our city from corporate bloodsuckers, grey-faced bureaucrats and humourless wardens and police. When CCTV watches our every move and even busking can get you a ticket, having fun for free has been made illegal. We want to change that. Come and join the party!
WHO OWNS THE CITY?
This city is supposed to belong to us, the people of Nottingham. But most of the city centre is controlled by giant companies who only want to drain money out of us. Even the Market Square has become another place for the Council to make a few bob. We are only allowed in if we have money to spend. It’s time to take back the space.
BUNCH OF BANKERS
One of the worst offenders are the banks. Making billions out of arms, oil and environmental destruction isn’t enough – they still need to be propped up by bailouts from the taxpayer. Whilst their friends in government make our lives a misery with cuts to services, the bankers are using public money to top up their multi-million pound bonuses. Enough’s enough! Chase the bankers out of town.
Vodaphone incident
Last weekend Notts Uncut were protesting outside Vodafone. They’d dropped the shutters and a ten year old boy was looking through the shutters when a member of staff inside the shop slammed her hand into the shutter forcing it into his face. This was witnessed by around 20 people.
His dad went into the shop the following day to complain and the store manager agreed the member of staff’s behaviour had been unacceptable and promised a written apology from Vodafone to the boy and a personal apology from the member of staff.
We went to Vodafone today for him to receive his apology and Vodafone have now decided that no incident took place and no apology would be made. After imparting this news they pulled the shutters down again so Notts Uncut maintained a presence outside the shop until they closed up and sent their staff home at 3.30.
Vodafone need to know that it’s not ok to avoid tax and it’s not ok to attack children then lie about it.
Breaking: Greenpeace Polar Bears occupy Cairn Energy HQ
18-07-2011 08:27
This morning about 50 polar bears have occupied the Edinburgh HQ of Cairn Energy. They are believed to be trying to find Cairn's elusive Arctic oil spill response plan.Cairn is one of the companies spearheading attempts to extract fossil fuels from the arctic, region, despite the fact the ice caps are already melting as a result of fossil fuel use. Arctic extraction also involves drilling deep which has risks and the whole operation is likely to be catastrophic for wildlife and the environment.

When it comes to comparing the cases of two publishers of secret information — WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange and billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch — the hypocrisy from politicians and media is huge.The key difference between the two is obvious — one seeks to challenge the establishment, the other exerts huge control over it.

outside the McDonald's, St Peters Gate
There was a free food give-away in Nottingham City Centre, outside the McDonald's at St Peters Gate.
Free vegan food samples was given out to passers by, along with information and recipe books compiled by Nottingham Vegan Campaigns.
The 'give-away' included a range of sweet and savoury foods for people to try, made by volunteers from the Veggies / Sumac Centre.

A difference between this a earlier events was the musical presence of Reverend Billy & the Earthaloojah Choir!
http://revbilly.com
Singing a number of gospel chunes including my personal favourite "I'm going to make myself a sandwich" they entertained people while they ate the free-food. Suitably refreshed, we then paraded around St.Peters Square and then straight into McDonald's. Much to the amazement of staff and customers. Splendid:-)

Food not Bombs: Arrests of volunteers sharing meals with the hungry in Florida
http://www.foodnotbombs.net/fnb_resists.html
20th June 2011, the City of Orlando has made over 20 arrests for sharing meals with the hungry at Lake Eola Park. The city limits the group to sharing twice a year per park. Food Not Bombs has been sharing free vegetarian meals and literature in public for over 30 years. While many believe that hunger and poverty is the result of personal failing and the solution can be found by getting closer to God, Food Not Bombs thought the solution could be found in changing public policy, economics and society.

The National Eviction Team is coming to try to evict the Stokes Croft Freeshop tomorrow. They've said they'll be there from early afternoon; support is requested on the streets from 10am.
The Freeshop/Classics/The Emporium are social squats set up in two long-abandoned buildings on Stokes Croft. The buildings were almost completely derelict. Squatters put in a lot of work over a couple of years to maintain and repair the buildings. The empty building were turned into useful space - the Freeshop where people can get things they need and get rid of things they don't need, The Emporium art gallery, a gym, workshops and living space. Now the mysterious absentee landlord - helped by estate agents Maggs and Allen - is trying to take them away.
The National Eviction Team is a company that specialises in evicting protest sites and political squats. Come down and support our spaces from 10am tomorrow, or watch Bristol indymedia for a callout when they arrive.
The next planned eviction of The Free Shop and Emporium is scheduled for Monday 18th July please join us for a party of resistance from 10am Monday morning!
