Four Restaurants Drop Foie Gras in the North
13-12-2011 13:41
Foie gras is a delicacy produced by force-feeding ducks and geese until their livers become swollen and diseased. Caged or in pens, these birds never get to see the light of day as they live their short and miserable lives in factory farm sheds.Canada withdraws from Kyoto Protocol

How can we learn from past movements and how do we move forward with their ideasEditor of Minor Compositions Stevphen Shukaitis comes to Bristol to talk about his minor compositions project, that draws experience from past movements and looks at how to move forward in the future.
Meet the Editor of Minor Compositions – Stevphen Shukaitis
Date: Thursday 15th December 2011
Speaker: Stevphen Shukaitis
Time: 19:00
Venue:Hydra Books 34 Old Market
Minor Compositions is a research – theorizing – publishing project whose aim is to bring together, develop, and mutate forms of autonomist thought and practice, avant-garde aesthetics, and an everyday approach to politics. This draws a good deal of inspiration from history of militant research and workers’ inquiry, expanding it beyond inquiry into particular workplaces into a more general investigation of cultural labor, social reproduction, and the relationship between radical politics and their neutralization by market and state forces.
What can ongoing political organizing learn from the history of radical art and cultural politics?
For this evening editor Stevphen Shukaitis will talk about Minor Composition (and Autonomedia) as project and publication series, focusing on themes such as precarity, the radical imagination, communization, occupations, and autonomy. How do these ideas developed from within movements in one context migrate to other countries and situations? And what happens to them when they move?

Occupy Notts Camp sticks it out starting week 9
12-12-2011 20:55
12 December 2011
Occupy camp now just finished its 8th week since setting up in the Market Square, Nottingham.
A variable week with some ups .... and downs. It's been a bit rainy and windy.
A new structure has been started to try and keep the campers more comfortable and to defend against some of the predicted extreme weather on the way. Much heaving, bending and hammering, but it's nearly there.
Between one of the storms, cosmic to see a double rainbow over the camp. [well more accuratly titled: "Rainbow over Primark"].
Helen the Hat, an Occupy London regular supporter came by with her laptop. A Livestream connection http://www.livestream.com/occupylsx was made to the London Camp and people had an interview exchange, swopping experiances and stories.
On Saturday, there were a much higher number of drunks in the area, and those shouting abuse. One chap with his mate damaged a couple of tent and then I'm told assaulted a couple of the campers, again. [Alegidly, he's done this twice before]. Being restrained, his mates said let him go and he wouldn't do it again! Police were called and he was taken away.
Winter [bloody] Wonderland next to the camp continuing to bang out the usual oh so jolly xmas numbers. I still say that this is a sound weapon to drive all insane. [A bit like the US Marines playing VERY load rock music to General Manuel Noriega in his compound during the United States Invasion of Panama http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_invasion_of_Panama ..... well perhaps not quite that extreme].
Loads of rain, windy and getting cold at night now, so I think those holding out against the elements for these issues, need to be congratulated for their commitments and deserve help and support from us.
Please drop by and offer your time, help, donations of food, bedding, waterproofing, warm clothing ...... oh, a bit of love.
