Noise protest outside Cedars detention centre
09-09-2011 16:55
This afternoon activists from NoBorders and No One is Illegal held a noise demonstration outside Cedars, a detention centre for nine families and their children in Pease Pottage, Sussex, which opened last week.
The activists gathered outside the front gates (metal fencing with a perspex cover) with a banner denouncing Barnardo's involvement in the detention industry (the charity is running "social and welfare services" at the detention centre). They chanted through a loudspeaker and made noise with various instruments. They also walked part of the way round the perimeter fence, continuing to remonstrate loudly against detention and deportation.
There were guards in hi-vis vests in the grounds of the centre, and a UKBA guard was also spotted. There was no sign of any of the detainees.
As the activists left the centre they were stopped by police under the pretext of "anti-social behaviour".
The activists stated that protests will continue until Cedars closes.

Why I put myself back in the dock over Fortnum’s
09-09-2011 15:41
On 26th March, I was arrested, along with 144 other people, for sitting down in Fortnum and Mason, in protest at their tax avoidance scheme, which costs taxpayers nearly £10m per year.
On the 18th July, my case was dropped, along with around 100 others, leaving 30 defendants to be tried (some were never charged, and youth defendants had already had cases dropped in case you are confused about the missing numbers). On Sept 7th, the Fortnum145 defence campaign revealed that 21 of us have decided to revive our case.

The post-9/11 decade of lies
08-09-2011 19:05
The propaganda myth of 9/11, imbedded inextricably into the fibers of society and culture, and into the brain cells of naïve, willfully uninformed people, is back for another sickening “commemoration”.
Who chooses to “commemorate” the lie of 9/11? Undoubtedly, the high officials and elites who planned the event, who successfully achieved everything they wanted---unending war for oil, naked fascism and militarism, and economic conquest---from this ultimate false flag operation. The atrocity of 9/11, the desperate act of an empire facing extinction, was not an “intelligence failure”, but the greatest intelligence success and criminal operation in history.
Open expression of concern
08-09-2011 19:04
I am actively involved in supporting people in prison and those hurt by our "justice" system and write to express concern regarding the treatment of those detained at Woodhill CSC. I am well aware that these are prisoners some of whom have mental health issues and are unlikely to be helped by some of the reports that have reached me.Where was Andrew Lansley on 7 September 201

Also present was Barbara Hakin, National Managing Director for Commissioning Development at the Department of Health, and David Bennett, Chairman and Interim Chief Executive of MonitorLaing & Buisson arranged a one day symposium for the independent healthcare sector and the opening speaker was Andrew Lansley. This took place yesterday, on the very day that the Health and Social Care Bill received it's third "reading" in the House of Commons and was approved by MPs by 65 votes to go back to the House of Lords.
The day consisted of talks about riveting matters such as: Putting private healthcare back on the political agenda, Investment opportunities, The OFT's market study into private healthcare, Private practice the new market for the NHS.
Andrew's friends were also present. Ian Dalton, Managing Director of Provider Development at the Department of Health, gave a presentation called "Transforming the role of providers: the new open market in healthcare, opportunities for independent sector providers.
I'm not making this up. Mr Andrew "ludicrous scaremongering" Lansley was there and so were his mates from the Department of Health. Here is a link to the brochure for this conference http://www.laingbuisson.co.uk/Portals/1/Conference/Brochure_Forum_1.pdf
