Veggies Backs the Badgers!
03-03-2014 10:55
Nottingham's ethical, all-vegan catering campaign Veggies has been on the road twice to Birmingham in the past few days, to show support for our scapegoated badger friends who are under attack from the Tory government. The government are trying to implement an appallingly misguided and underhand policy to cull one hundred thousand badgers in an effort to eradicate Bovine TB. As well as killing an innocent, and much loved member of British wildlife, the policy also flies in the face of the best scientific advice and public opinion, both of which are overwhelmingly in opposition to a cull.
So on Saturday 22nd the Veggies team took their well-known colourful trailer and set up in Victoria Square to cater for several hundred people that were rallying there throughout the day to vocalise their dissent. Badger campaigners were very happy to see Veggies and throughout the day's events the team shifted some 200 burgers, 100 samosas, lots of cakes and pasties and were able to give a donation of £120 towards the organisational costs of the event.
The march was very well covered by various media, with both ITV and BBC reporting that over 1,000 people took to the streets to voice their peaceful objection to the misguided badger cull, as well as detailed coverage from the local Birmingham Mail.
A Veggies volunteer joined the march carrying a tray full of their 'Samosas for Social Change', a sight that has been seen many times over the years on grassroots marches and demos (Veggies celebrates their 30th anniversary later this year!)
It was a motivating day full of compassionate badger campaigners from all walks of life and different organisations. Speeches were given by members of Care for the Wild, League Against Cruel Sports and the Hunt Sabs Association, amongst others.
Then (because the Veggies crew love badgers so much!) they headed back out to Birmingham this Tuesday 25th just passed for the second anti-cull demo. This was outside the ICC where the national NFU (National Farmers' Union) conference was taking place. The NFU is a collection of individuals and companies responsible for undertaking the failed badger culls and planning to undertake more, as well as lobbying for less humane ways to kill badgers such as gassing and snaring.
This time Veggies had a more informal set-up, giving out hot drinks, pasties and cakes by donation. As ever, cold people were very happy to see the team and a great day was had networking with other groups and joining in the chanting going on outside the venue ("Shame on you, NFU" has quite a good ring to it!)
Today (Friday 28th Feb) the findings are back from the Independent Expert Panel appointed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to help ministers evaluate the effectiveness, humaneness and safety of the Gloucestershire and Somerset pilot culls. The culls were categorically a failure in both effectiveness and humaneness.

Racism in the Netherlands/Party for Freedom, Wilders and the poison of racism
03-03-2014 02:24
The extreme right wing and Islamophobic Party for Freedom [PVV] of G.Wilders is a great danger, not only because of its
discriminatory, racist, repressive and hate speech agenda, but also
because of its embracing of causes like anti EU and battle against Dutch austerity measures,
thus reaching people, who are not perse racist, and the cooperation with
European right wing parties as the racist and antisemitic Front National.

If war is the continuation of government by other means, then terrorism is that of totalitarianism - or from a stringent anti-military perspective, government is a precursor of war such as totalitarianism is of terrorism. But gone are the romantic days when these phenomena were a matter of reason - the current war of words is only a push of a button away from a war of worlds. And the oxymoronic state terrorism evaporating from the totalitarian spying system takes the form of internet forgeries, with the open posting capacities of the global anti-capitalist movement having become a central target of it. Which is quite lethal since every single time the publication button is clicked in execution of a government oath it is as deadly as a radioactive leak - indymedia stands for independent media and leaks better be directed at the leaking platforms specifically installed for that purpose. What was now measured here was so significant an amount of contamination that there is more to conclude than the usual mixture of indecent character and management failure which causes the constant background harassment. The totalitarian spying system has locked its crosshairs on indymedia, and one way is going to end another.Ugandan Embassy Gay Disco!
