Youth Issue in Ukraine
12-05-2011 11:40
An interesting article on the current state of affairs of young people and the leftist movement in Ukraine. Interesting to read the history of current Russian Ukrainian oligarchs to see how they started out, but you need to delve deep, much further than "their own" "official" biographies which don't often mention how they "started out" as racketeers, smugglers from an early age and grew from out of the Soviet black market underground, and became ologarchs after Yeltsin took power.Denver, CO: “Even With Our Backs Against a Wall” anti-police march reportback

London Metropolitan students and workers lobby the board of governors
While the board of governors of London Metropolitan University met at the Moorgate site yesterday to rubber stamp 70% cuts to courses, hundreds of redundancies and the slashing of essential student services, a large noisy demo of students and workers was held outside, led by the performing arts students who had occupied the graduate centre previously. Strikes now seem inevitable as vice chancellor Malcolm Gillies shows no signs of backing down - and the students' resolve to fight has only been strengthened by the disgraceful evicition of the occupation last Monday.
This is becoming the key struggle against privatisation of education in Britain. Delegations of students and workers from a number of other universities joined the lobby yesterday, and messages of support are coming in not only from across the country, but from around the world.
Watch the video of yesterday's action, and please share it around and join the protests: there will be another lobby of the next board of governors meeting next Thursday May 19th (venue and time will be confirmed soon).

I'm sure this constitutes "non-news" but it does also constitute a collective sense of relief at still having an open publishing platform to express whatever's on your mind....Glos Eco-village camping trip, mark 2!
11-05-2011 20:45
After one seriously wet night, followed by one lovely sunny morning, followed by another night of rain- it has been decided, NOT to move the next camping trip one week forward- to this coming weekend (as previously stated) but two weeks forward. The MET - after failing us over the weekend - promises the weather will be more hospitable then.

Pics: Lobby of London Met Board of Governors
11-05-2011 19:55
A crowd of students and staff of the London Metropolitan University followed a call to demonstrate this afternoon outside the University's Moorgate building during the Board of Governors annual general meeting. Staff and students protested against the plans to close up to 70% of Arts & Humanities undergraduate courses, even though these are very popular. For example, the Performing Arts degree which faces closure receives 300-400 applicants a year and accepts 60. The damaging plans also involve cutting Student Support Services, as well as mass job cuts and increase the class sizes.
What is happening at London Met it is a sign of what it is to come to other UK universities and in all our public services: mass privatisation. Here there are some pics of today's lobby:
This demonstration followed a week of occupation at the London Met's building in Holloway Road. For more information see:
