Public Meeting opposes Andrew Lansley's NHS Bill
24-09-2011 16:55
7pm Thursday 22nd Sepember 2011
At a packed public meeting at the Mechanics Institute, North Sherwood Street, Nottingham, people heard about the progress of Andrew Lansley's NHS Bill.
Its all bad news of course. Meeting heard from speakers,
Prof Wendy Savage [Keep our NHS Public]
Barry Brown [Unite]
Gill George [Unite]
laying out their concerns and all pointing out that this was all a device to dismantle the NHS and privatise many of its service.
There was much critism of the union response in opposing these issues and remarks pointing out there was such a lack of awareness in the public at large. Also alarmingly, igorance of these changes amoungst NHS staff themselves.
During questions from the floor, there was a theme developing, critising the Labour Party record on these issues and many thought it was time for the unions to stop funding the Labour Party and to put the money into doing some more effective campaigning. Some also questioned the effectiveness of simply handing out leaflets and organising yet another protest. Many thought that more direct action was required.

The Anti-Cuts movement will succeed if it defends true democratic principles, but FAIL if it is perceived to be opposing them...What Is Nationalism? Part I
24-09-2011 11:18
The beginnings of a short historical analysis of what nationalism is, exploring the various philosophers and historical conditions which lead to the birth of many different parties, separated by history, like the National Socialists, Nuclei Armati Rivoluzionario and English Defence League. Only by understanding these things will we be able to triumph against the real menaces in Nationalism and build a truly borderless society - but the trouble is, the problem may not be what it seems at first sight! There is a man, who may be ignorant, but history and his mother made him. He might beat us, he might cause much suffering, but this does not mean he understands why he causes it. We must defend ourselves physically, but the defence of the Truth is another thing. If we defend against the wrong aspects of any ideas, we may find in the end that lies, and therefore suffering, triumphs.Solidarity occupation NOW at RSAMD / Royal Conservatoire in Glasgow against 9k fees for non Scottish UK students

NHS Meetings
23-09-2011 18:55
Protest at NHS meetings this week.
There are two significant meetings to do with the NHS next week:
NHS Nottingham City AGM and Annual Public Meeting, Wednesday 28th. September 12.00 to 15.00, Council House, Old Market Square
Nottingham University Hospitals Annual Public Meeting, Wednesday 28th. September 17.00 to 19.30, Cityside Restaurant, City Hospital, Hucknall Road
These meetings are open to the public but Notts SOS has not made any plans for action. We are going to attend these meetings in order to point out that:
1. The reorganisation of the PCT being carried out by NHS Nottingham City is illegal because the legislation to authorise this action, the Health and Social Care Bill, has not yet been passed by Parliament.
2. The plan by Nottingham University Hospitals to become a foundation trust should be dropped.
We are preparing the text for a suitable leaflet for these occasions and when it is ready will post it on these sites. The Notts SOS meeting on Monday may care to consider whether they want the leaflet to go out under their name. We need to know by Tuesday morning.
We urge as many people as possible to attend these events. It is all very well expressing indignation about NHS privatisation, such as at the meeting last night, but what is needed is effective, as opposed to token, actions to disrupt the"reforms".

Cops to stop recording ethnicity of stop-and-account subjects
23-09-2011 17:50
Half of police forces nationwide, including 5 of the 10 forces with the worst record for targeting minorities, are to scrap the recording of the ethnicity of people they pull over under stop-and-account powers. The recording is being scrapped as part of the agenda to cut down police red tape. Of the 43 police forces in England and Wales, 21 are to scrap the recording of ethnicity, including West Midlands, Avon and Somerset, Thames Valley, Sussex and Hertfordshire, all of which already rank among the top 10 forces for targeting minorities. A West Midlands police officer is 7 times more likely to enact a stop-and-account on an Afro-Carribean than a white. [1] [2]State strategies to wreck UK Uncut, Dale Farm & March 26 etc
