THE WORK PROGRAMME - PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

6th Anniversary of 7/7

07-07-2011 23:11

Six years on from an event with the largest single loss of life in London since the blitz can the Metropolitan Police, with it's long track record of complicity in facilitating Miscarriages of Justice be allowed to offer a 'narrative' which is so deeply flawed and suspect? How about a 'narrative' which has remained unexamined and unchallenged except by the July 7th Truth Campaign? A 'narrative' that has ascribed guilt to four men without their families having the opportunity and legal representation to question, particularly when the four accused have been denied their own Inquest proceedings? Or a 'narrative' deemed outside the scope of inquiry by the 7/7 Inquests, and a 'narrative' which has led to the demonisation of the Muslim population? This is the same flawed and unproven narrative that has been the basis for the questioning of multi-culturalism and a 'narrative' which has done much to fuel the race-hate and bigotry of the far-right neo-fascist organisation, the EDL.

The strange silencing of liberal America

07-07-2011 19:50

How does political censorship work in liberal societies? When my film, 'Year Zero: the Silent Death of Cambodia', was banned in the United States in 1980, the broadcaster PBS cut all contact. Negotiations were ended abruptly; phone calls were not returned. Something had happened. But what? 'Year Zero' had already alerted much of the world to the horrors of Pol Pot, but it also investigated the critical role of the Nixon administration in the tyrant’s rise to power and the devastation of Cambodia.

Stokes Croft Freeshop Eviction

07-07-2011 08:55

The popular squatted Freeshop and attached Emporium Gallery on Stokes Croft have been evicted this morning. Bailiffs entered the building with sledgehammers at around 6am, surprising the occupants, and had managed to secure the building before support arrived.

One occupant was arrested inside the building. The rest were allowed to leave with a single personal bag each. Bailiffs, with the full support of the police, then refused to fetch a bag containing vital documents for an occupant who had been out at the time. One supporter was arrested for holding up a banner outside, and the banner was confiscated. The arrestee was manhandled by an unbadged steward from Delta Security, and people attempting to help or advise were threatened with batons and pushed into the road. Police also prevented a passing traffic warden from ticketing the illegally-parked Sitex vehicles nearby.

The building has now been fully evicted, but the project will continue in a new space, and plans to buy the building may still go ahead. Both arrestees have been taken to Trinity Station, and we've made sure they have access to solicitors. Parties directly involved in the eviction seem to be the local County Court Bailiffs, Delta Security (not sure exactly who as SIA badges hidden), local police, and our old friends Sitex Orbis. Monday's Housing Action Meeting will happen just across the street at the Smiling Chair at the normal time of 8pm.

Kill the Car

07-07-2011 03:58

This program lets you hear a fine speech on the true cost of car culture. Yves Engler launched his book June 27th in Vancouver. The title: "Stop Signs: Cars and Capitalism on the Road to Economic, Social and Ecological Decay". The African co-author is Bianca Mugyenyi. The two tried a road trip by public transit through the wild suburbs of America. It was savage territory - but Yves will tell you all about that, and about your own life, in this recording for Radio Ecoshock.

Sneinton Festival 1 - Parade

Saturday 2nd July 2011

Meeting in the Green's Windmill car park ... people gathered and formed up to parade around the area.

Snaking around most of Sneinton, eventually arriving at the Greenway Community Centre on Trent Lane.

As you would expect ... there were stages, stalls, assorted kids stuff with face painting etc. There was a main stage, the SEND project involving youth arts, drumming, belly dancing, stilt walking, V3 powered music, Saxon Warriors, Dragons .... and so on.
