bikes alive bike blockade protest at king's cross

----
despite dozens of deaths and injuries to cyclists at the dangerous king's cross road intersections, it has recently come to light that between 2005 and 2009, TfL actually instructed its planners to ignore the needs of cyclists (http://kingscrossenvironment.com/2012/03/05/buchananreport).
also, where the planners, buchanan and partners, made bicycle-friendly recommendations, their draft report was watered down by TfL before final publication (http://kingscrossenvironment.com/2012/03/07/did-tfl-weaken-pro-cycling-recommendations-for-killer-kings-cross-junction-as-long-ago-as-2007).
tonight's protest, attracting just a couple of dozen cyclists and pedestrians, held up traffic by processing slowly in a route up and down the euston road outside the station, while more than 200 explanatory leaflets were distributed to passers-by. it was the latest in a series of fortnightly actions, and the next one, to which all pedestrians and human-powered vehicles are invited, will begin promptly at 6.30pm on monday the 26th march.
later that week, friday 30th will celebrate the 15th anniversary of critical mass in london.

Anna Soubry MP Avoids Demonstration Against NHS
11-03-2012 22:55
On Saturday March 10th, constituents of Anna Soubry's Broxtowe constituency displayed postcards signed by over 500 people asking her to reconsider plans to privatise the NHS.
They gathered outside Beeston Library where Anna Soubry was meant to be holding a surgery. Unfortunately when Ms Soubry heard of this she changed the location of her surgery.
On a previous Saturday in Beeston local people had queued to sign the postcards. Public feeling against the governments Health Bill was strong.
It is a pity that Ms Soubry avoided this visual display of her constituents views.

Another Attempt To Sabotage John Bowden’s Parole By Prison Hired Social Worker
11-03-2012 20:44
It seems that the state and its loyal agents in HMP Shotts, Scotland, are currently manufacturing reasons to present to the parole board as to why John Bowden should be kept in jail.One of the entries in the ‘Parole Intelligence Summary’ says: “Intelligence provides that Bowden either posts blogs or has them posted on his behalf on the following website:
http://breakallchains.blogspot.com/. Further intelligence provides that this website is pro-prisoner and anti-establishment. So it seems that even writing anything supporting prisoners’ rights is sufficient reason to keep John in jail – he’s not being kept in because they consider him a risk to the public.
Here is the latest article from John and contact address for complaints and also to write to him.
