Justice For Gary Critchley
18-07-2010 11:09
Gary Critchley was convicted of murder in London in 1980. The available report on his conviction (Private Eye 2009) raise a number of doubts and his conviction appears to be unsafe. Appeals have been refused and 30 years down the line Gary is still incarcerated. If Peter Sutcliffe/Coonan can be granted a right to appeal after 13 safe convictions, how does our society not allow Gary his right to appeal?Demonstrate at Communications House IRC Tue 27 July 5-6pm

Open cast is trashing the south Wales landscape
It’s time to take action
Climate Camp Cymru
13 – 17 August
A momentum is building. Last year we camped next to Ffos y Fran - one of the largest opencast mines in Europe - for a week of workshops and sustainable living. This summer we’re going back to basics with a light action-based camp, targeting coal somewhere in south Wales.
Our current economic system is based on an addiction to fossil fuels and on maximising profit at the expense of people and the environment. Fossil fuel corporations cannot be allowed to progress unchecked. We need green jobs for Wales, not dirty destruction.
On the 13th we’ll meet in Cardiff and make our way from there to the site.
Things to bring:
> Tent
> Sleeping bag
> Warm clothes and waterproofs
> Plate, bowl, mug and cutlery
> and a bike could be useful too
Burning coal is destroying our climate, while opencast mining damages the earth and the health of local people. We must leave it in the ground.
Join a growing number of ordinary people taking direct action, and exploring alternatives, to stop the madness that is destroying the earth. This August 13th -17th come to Climate Camp Cymru.

Survival Tales
To survive in this world, we each create stories.
Our stories affect people around us, and in turn we get affected by the stories we hear and see every day.
But there's a new, and old, challenge looming: to realise that 'how we live' is also 'how we kill'.
This challenge is phenomenally frightening.
To protect ourselves, we create safe stories: 'the scientists are lying', 'the government will sort it out', 'this product will help'.
But the challenge remains.
We need to decide how we live, but how do we make decisions? Is this version of democracy the best we can do? Who's in charge? Can we trust any of our solutions?
Can we learn anything from history? And does anyone have a super-hero cape in my size?
How do we tell the noose and the lifebelt apart?
Survival Talesis a series of small, intimate performance events, designed to take place in unusual venues, including living rooms, community gardens and social centres.

Clarion Choir at memorial re-dedication
17-07-2010 17:24
Video of the Clarion Choir at the re-dedication of the International Brigades Memorial at County Hall. I think the song is an Italian version of the Red Flag, although I'm not 100% sure.
Re-dedication of Notts Spanish Civil War memorial
17-07-2010 16:24
On Saturday July 17th Nottingham and Mansfield Trades Council organised a re-dedication of the memorial to the International Brigades at County Hall, West Bridgford.
The re-dedication was a response to the decision by Leader of the Council Kay Cutts to have the memorial rearranged and the information board removed. This was one of the first things Cutts did after taking power in last year’s council elections. It was controversial at the time and anger has persisted. The re-dedication took place on the 74th anniversary of the fascist coup which instigated the war.
Inexplicably the event was organised to begin a t 10.30am, but there were more people than I had expected given the time and the threat of rain.
The first speaker was Alan Rhodes, leader of the Labour group at the county councillor. He was not the only prominent Labour Party figure in attendance. Vernon Coaker MP and ex-MP Paddy Tipping were also floating around. One gets the impression that now they’ve been kicked out of power they’ve suddenly found their principles again.
To be fair, Rhodes speech wasn’t too bad. He set out some of the history of the memorial. Originally proposed in 1989, the city and county councils had in 1992 agreed that it would be situated at County Hall. The memorial cost £22,000 and was unveiled on 24th September 1993 by the Spanish Ambassador, at an event attended by 18 former members of the International Brrigades including trade unionist Jack Jones. Rhodes described Cutt’s removal of the information board as an “act of civic vandalism” and claimed that when (if?) the Labour Party returns to power at the authority they will replace it.
The next speaker was to have been Jason Zadrozny, leader of the LibDem group on the council, but he failed to turn up, seemingly without giving a reason. Cynics may note that as he had agreed to speak prior to the emergence of the ConDem coalition he has now decided that an attack on local Tories is not as politically expedient as it may previously have appeared.
Chris Richardson of the Co-Operative Party spoke next. He discussed how co-operators in 1936 had understood the threat posed by Spanish fascism. Their comrades in Italy and Germany had both seen firsthand the repression that fascism entailed and so the co-operative movement in UK had thrown itself into the struggle in support of the Republicans. In Nottingham donations were made to relief and medical funds and a campaign was launched to fund an ambulance to be sent to Spain.
Chris was followed by the Clarion Choir who sung an array of traditional protest songs including the Red Flag and the Internationale. There was then a message from the Spanish Ambassador which claimed they were unable to intervene in the rearrangement of the memorial, but reported that seven surviving British members of the International Brigade were recently given Spanish nationality. The International Brigade Memorial Trust also sent their apologies, reporting on their activities.
Various people then read poetry about the war written by people who had been to Spain or extracts from “Shallow Grave” by Walter Gregory. Gregory, originally from Lincoln, lived in Bulwell and after becoming involved in the Communist Party he traveled out to Spain where he was shot and later imprisoned. Fortunately he survived and would go on to write up his experiences in the 1980s. One extract was from a Brigade newspaper, extolling the virtues of saluting. This was presumably chosen as charming or somehow reflecting positively on the organisation of the Brigades. To my mind, however, it seemed like a damning indictment of where the war started going wrong as a previously broadly egalitarian revolutionary milita became increasingly hierarchical and indistinguishable from any other army.
County council worker Johnathan Swift spoke about the role memorials play in the politics of memory (OK, he didn’t use those exact words). He discussed visits to Eastern Europe where there were few memorials and the way street names have been changed according to the whims of the people in charge at any given time. Memorials connect us to our history and Swift described the decision to remove the information board as “scary” because of the parallels with the actions of totalitarian governments who were similarly interested in repressing bothersome historical references.
At this point the names of the 26 volunteers who went out to Spain from Nottinghamshire were read out. People came from the crowd and formed a surprisingly long queue before reading out the name and some biographical information about the volunteers.
Two of the last speakers were elderly ladies. Hilda Tagg was related (I managed to fail to record what her relationship was) to Herbert Tagg one of the volunteers who gave their lives in Spain. She had not known Herbert but was well acquainted with his exploits and described the effect of his death on the family. Bizarrely she felt compelled to state that she wasn’t in the Communist Party, but was in the Labour Party, “the next best thing,” although she insisted she was a socialist.
Ida Hackett was a trade unionist involved, as a representative of her union, in the local Spanish aid campaign. Despite being afflicted with a sudden burst of feedback from the sound system, she explained that she had been friends with Eric Whalley before he went to Spain and recounted a speech he had made before going that he wasn’t simply setting out to defend Spanish democracy, but to stop a second world war. Hackett emphasised the hardship experienced by the families of volunteers, but closed her speech by calling on people to continue to fight.
After a brief poem translated from Spanish, local trade unionist Barrry Donlan began the actual re-dedication. He tied this into Nottingham’s long radical history from Saxons defending their independence against the Vikings in 868AD, through Robin Hood (“distributor of undeserved bonuses”), the Civil War (1642), the cheese riots (1764), Luddism, the Reform Riots (1831), Chartism, the General Strike (1926), the fight against the Spencer Union (1936-7) and through to the Spanish Civil War. This he argued continued up to today, pointing to the many industrial struggles which have rocked Nottingham over the last 74 years.
Two wreaths were then laid by the monument by Hackett and Tagg. One in the colours of the Spanish Republic (red, yellow and indigo) listed the volunteers from Nottinghamshire who gave their lives in Spain. A second in red, white and blue, carried the names of people from Notttingham who had died in air raids during the Second World War, deaths which might possibly have been avoided had the fascists been defeated in Spain. At this point the event wrapped up and people drifted off. The interesting question is how long these new wreaths (alongside poppy wreaths from last November) will survive.
Film and Discussion Night at the Factory: The Coconut Revolution
17-07-2010 15:22
The Bristol Alternatives to Capitalism reading group is hosting a film night on Wednesday 21 July at 8pm at the Factory, Cave Street off Portland Square, St Pauls, Bristol.The Coconut Revolution is a 2001 multi-award winning documentary film about the struggle of the indigenous peoples in the Bougainville Island, an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea. The movement is described as the "world's first successful eco-revolution".
The movie tells the story of the successful uprising of the indigenous peoples of Bougainville Island against the Papua New Guinea army and the mining plans of the RTZ company to exploit their natural resources. The documentary reveals how the Bougainville Revolutionary Army (BRA) managed to overcome the blockade strategy carried by the papuan army by using coconut oil as fuel.
The film is about an hour long with a discussion and updates about the Bougainvillians afterwards.
There will be tea and cake!

Borehole Beating Bristolians [2]
17-07-2010 12:22
So the drilling platforms have been arriving back in County Mayo, the resistance is being met with force, and one of the local residents who's been in jail for the last few months is due to be released today - things are really hotting up with the Rossport campaign against Shell's planned destruction of the area - and it's time for Bristol supporters to meet up and discuss plans for a return.A number of Bristolians recently returned from the area after the Merthyr to Mayo solidarity bike ride, and many are planning a mass return to take part in the "Beat the Boreholes" summer of civil disobedience (more below) - come and join us for a meeting to find out more, and make plans for a Bristol group to sign themselves up for the calender.
There'll be an informal meeting during Sunday's evening meal at Kebele (14 Robertson Road, Easton) on 25th July - 8pm.

Sign up to BEAT THE BOREHOLES!!
Join a continuous mass act of civil disobedience this summer at Sruth Fháda Chonn estuary.
Shell plan to drill up to 80 boreholes to survey the estuary for their proposed gas pipeline and we plan to stop them! Work will start in the coming days & continue till mid-October. The idea is that groups or individuals pledge to stop a borehole at a specific time this summer. The action you take is entirely up to you & can range from banner holding to walking out on the sands to boarding drilling rigs. We will book you into our BEAT THE BOREHOLE calendar & host you at the solidarity camp/house if needed. The camp will help with equipment/training if any is required. The aim is to get each of the 80 boreholes assigned a Beat the Borehole group. Between local groups, national Shell to Sea groups, other supportive political groups, groups from abroad, student groups, surfers, kayakers we might just do it!
Why Stop the boreholes?
A certain amount of boreholes are needed to provide an adequate survey before Shell can build their proposed tunnel under the estuary. Due to the tides, & seasonal nature of the job any disruption to work will slow the process down & could prevent them getting an adequate survey done this year. They have to stop in mid-Oct on the arrival of the Brent Geese. The estuary is a Specially Protected Area & part of the Broadhaven bay Special Area of Conservation. The operation will damage parts of the estuary & disturb the wildlife there. Some machines will be brought on to the inter-tidal areas (strand) at low tide which will be particularly disruptive to the species of birds found there.
Information about the drilling operation
Each borehole will take 2.5 days & up to 4 a week could be made. They will be drilling from 7am-7pm every week day but not at weekends. There will be movement of barges & personnel outside these hours. Two jack-up barges will be working at once in the estuary.
Ideas for Action
Groups will need to be a bit flexible as we won't know exactly where your borehole will be until nearer the time. However here are some ideas & the main thing is to do whatever you feel comfortable doing. If you are coming as an individual we can try & match you up with other people doing actions at the same time.
Walk out on the sands at low tide to the drilling rigs
Stop the machines driving over the beach/mudflat areas
Have a picnic & hold banners on the beach
Row out to the rigs in currachs & try & get in the way
Kayak in our inflatables out to the rigs & get in the way ( (training session essential, but as long as you can swim anyone can learn)
Board the drilling rigs
Block the boats with fishing nets and crab pots
Disrupt the flow of personnel/equipment from Ballyglass pier
Spread the word!
There will be leaflets & posters available from the camp soon, please distribute widely. If you think you would like to pledge to Beat the Borehole then please contact us with: the date you'd arrive, how long you're staying, number of people, whether you'd like to stay at the camp/house & whether you need us to sort out any equipment/training.
Thanks

The idea for this came from two campaigns; one called Fazlane 365 which was a year long continuous blockade of Fazlane nuclear base in Scotland. A huge number of different groups took on blockading the base for a day, from church groups to politicians to anarchists to musicians. See www.faslane365.org. Also in the 1990's in Britain most anti-road campaigns used Beat the Bulldozer pledges to enlist thousands of people to pledge to take action once the bulldozers came in. There are some case histories on the website below. See www.roadblock.org.uk/alarmuk/roadblock.html

the full transcript of the judges speech from last day of the trial.Then we come to the prevention of crime defence.Is it
possible that the defendant honestly believed that the Israeli
Military were committing war crimes in Gaza?If so, is it
possible that the defendant honestly believed that MBM were
supplying the Israeli Air Force, whether directly or
indirectly, and it doesn't matter for our purposes whether it
was going to America or any other country, directly or
indirectly, with the component parts for the F16.If so, is
it possible that the defendant honestly believed that by
damaging the property of MBM he or she was assisting in the
prevention of either war crimes that he or she believed the
Israeli Military were committing, or conduct by MBM which was
ancillary to or assisting in the commission of such war
crimes, for such conduct would be an offence under English
law.If so (the fourth question) is it possible that it was
reasonable in all the circumstances, as the defendant believed
them to be, to damage such property?
