Today's victory is only the beginning in the struggle against workfare. The following aims to show how the Government are attempting to hide the existence of other workfare schemes."One simple demand" - Critical Reply to Adbusters "Tactical Briefing #26"

Cornelius Castoriadis, Autonomy, and Occupy Movement
29-02-2012 17:06
I wrote this (funny and "very serious") text about the French philosopher of autonomy Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997), who would have supported Occupy Wall Street Movement, and Occupy Movement around the world.Send cards of support to Maya Evans, jailed anti-war activist

A controversial opinion on armed interventionOccupation starts as camp ends
29-02-2012 13:37
Occupy Birmingham will be leaving the park behind Symphony Hall today. The occupiers have had a permanent presence in Birmingham City centre since October 15th, first in Victoria Square and latterly in the park on Cambridge Street. The camp is the longest occupation in England, it might be dismantling but this does not end the activities of Occupy, far from it. This is not the beginning of the end, but is the end of the beginning phase of Occupy.Write Solidarity to Theresa Cusimano - S.O.A. resister prisoner

Hinkley Barnstormers Eviction Imminent ! Help Needed !
29-02-2012 10:55
On 27th February at the Royal Courts of Justice, London, EDF won a possesion order against anti-nuclear activists who are occupying a barn on the proposed new site for a nuclear reactor at Hinkley Point. The barn has been successfully occupied for over two weeks now but the eviction could come at any time in the next few days
On 27th February at the Royal Courts of Justice, London, EDF won a possesion order against anti-nuclear activists who are occupying a barn on the proposed new site for a nuclear reactor at Hinkley Point.
The barn has been successfully occupied for over two weeks now but the eviction could come at any time in the next few days.
The occupiers are welcoming any one who wants to come and help dismantle the camp. There is lots of food available and a cosy and convivial atmosphere to be enjoyed ! Please come !
PHONE : 0793 392 0425 or 0753 094 7554
The activists will be celebrating what the camp had achieved in terms of raising awareness of Hinkley to the national level , as many people do not know that the government is planning to build new nuclear reactors, they want to slip these plans in" under the radar" to avoid a proper public debate taking place, like there has been in Italy and Germany, in the wake of Fukushima.
Nuclear power is a catastrophic choice for Britain's energy future. A part from the fact that nuclear pwower is still very fossil fuel reliant, It won't make much of a dent in the carbon emmissions: If Hinkley C is built, it won't be in operation until 2023 at the earliest ! A bit late in the day to cut emissions with it ! Also, nuclear is a bottomless pit of expense to the tax payer, all that money will be diverted away from investment in safe and sustainable alternatives.
There is no such thing as safe nuclear power, problems occur in the reactors for innumerable reasons, including human error, and once every 12 years or so there is a major disaster. There is also the ever looming problem of nuclear waste, Britain already has enough to fill 5 Albert Halls and no where long term to put it. Only an insane government/industry would want to make more ( but I guess you knew that already)
After Fukushima, many countries are saying enough is enough, Nuclear power is finished. It's a dinosaur of the 20th century and leads to the prolififeration of nuclear weapons ( Why do you think they want to attack Iran ?). It's time we said the same !
Please show your solidarity and go to the camp for some fun !
If you can't make the camp, there's another chance for you to show your opposition to new nuclear on 10- 11 March at Hinkley Point for the Surround and Blockade action. Details below :
Coach tickets are available to take you to the Surround action on 10 March from Bristol CND:

Greek Bailout! (Who benefits - who pays?)
29-02-2012 10:33
It is popular in the mainstream news media to blame the Greek working people for the situation they are in. This article seeks to re-dress this imbalance and point the finger at the real culprits behind the crisis and the benificiaries of the bailout.Stratfor, Significance of WikiLeaks & the Persecution of Assange

A new study by the Mediterranean Council for Intelligence Studies’ (MCIS) 2012 Intelligence Studies Yearbook points to the use of social media as “the new cutting edge in open-source tactical intelligence collection”. IntelNews.org’s Joseph Fitsanakis, who co-authored the study, reports:
We explain that Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and a host of other social networking platforms are increasingly viewed by intelligence agencies as invaluable channels of information acquisition. We base our findings on three recent case studies, which we believe highlight the intelligence function of social networking.

Racist thugs “organised” a demo in Glasgow today, Saturday 25th February. They were crap. Antifascists were awesome. Police put SDL on minibuses and sent them out of the city centre early afternoon as otherwise we would have eaten them up.

Today could have been a day to celebrate. Today is the deadline for proposals as set out in at the Durban COP for increasing the level of ambition on international co-operation on climate change. Instead, a silence broken only by the drum beat for war and destruction of our planet by the world's elites.STOP Prison Guards Housing Asylum Seekers - STOP G4S!
