A report by Standard & Poor's revealed that 335,000 households in Britain now find themselves in negative equity, meaning that the value of their homes has fallen below the cost of their mortgage.

Anselme Noumbiwa / French passengers protest stops removalAnselme was removed from the UK on a BA flight on Thursday morning from London Heathrow; Anselme's appeal to the passengers to stop his removal on the BA flight fell on deaf ears and the flight proceeded on the first leg to Paris.
However when Anselme was put on to an Air France flight at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport and again appealed to passengers the response was overwhelming. Passengers stood up and demanded Anselme be removed from the plane, the French airport police were brought onto the plane to try and persuade the passengers to sit down and let the flight proceed, they refused, so Anselme was taken off the plane and returned to the UK. He is now in Colnbrook Short Term Holding and can be contacted on 020 8607 5200 Ex 678 or 079 1938 8365. Anselme alleges escorts again roughed him up.

Beware election fraud in US presidential elections - 2004 discrepancies analysed
24-10-2008 11:20
The Guardian's US correspondent recently reported that the incidence of voter fraud in US elections is "minimal". While this may be true if "voter fraud" means strictly fraud committed by individual voters in the polling booth, skilled researchers have published a series of analyses of discrepancies that strongly suggest a significant degree of fraud in the 2004 presidential elections. This article summarises a few of these analyses and points to sources of up-to-date articles re fears of fraud in the forthcoming US presidential elections of November 2008.Don't forget to register for the Aldermaston Big Blockade - Sunday-Monday!
