MONDAY 1ST OCTOBER

Does Britain need an energy policy?
The British Nuclear Industry Forum have their say - will they be supporting windmills? Come and find out!

Politics and progress: democracy, civil society and political renewal
Sound boring? - not at all! Home Secretary David Blunkett will be at this Sunday Telegraph/Demos event agonising over taking away more of our rights. Come and put your point of view (if having a point of view is still legal by then).
Refreshments
Ballroom North, Thistle Hotel, Kings Road
6pm
The globalisation debate – can capitalism be regulated?
A right old ding-dong between Clare Short, George Monbiot and some geezer from BP/Rio Tinto. Sounds like two against one? - why not go along and even up the odds?

It seems a bit stupid to inform the police of any demo months in advance. They (the pigs) have plenty of time to organize
discredit and then fuck up the demo. Being present at the events in this article is fart more usefull.
people should be present at all local councl meetings and any other meetings where corporate scum meets political scum
by the way here is the Luther Blissett version of Pythaggaarse's theorum
corporate scum + political scum = organized crime / Mafia ..
