Fighting Sanctions

06-05-2015 21:51

Nobody has a closer view of the effects of benefit sanctions than advice workers. Helping people with benefit issues has always been a daily feature of our job, but in addition to pestering the job centre for answers and submitting appeals and preparing evidence for the appeal hearings, we nowadays have to do more to make sure the claimants don't starve or become suicidal before we get the problem solved. It is impossible not to be disturbed by the brutality of official actions and attitudes, and so three of us in Rochdale decided to take part in the Week of Action Against Sanctions.

Consumer loses in Court of Appeal

05-05-2015 11:14

In London on the 23rd April 2015, the Court of Appeal handed down a judgement that will have a drastic impact on parking charges that can be levied by private parking companies. In the unanimous judgement, the court ruled that an £85 parking ticket for overstaying the parking limit, in what was otherwise a free car park, was a legal charge. This is bad news for the everyday consumer and good news for big business.

Damage action against Tory councillor in Bristol.

The iron lady that the police's Operation Rhone couldn't protect, the one supporter they should have taken care of. Are they serious? Or a laughing stock? They need to try harder. This was surely too close for comfort.

Carl Davis UKIP Activist Wants British Muslims Killed @slatukip @hopenothate

04-05-2015 01:05

More and more supposedly mainstream UKIP activists are coming out of the closet as extreme racists. One of these, Carl Davis, (AKA @fight4uk) recently agreed with a neo-nazi tweeter's call for British Asians to be decapitated (unsurprisingly a tweet using the P-word). He is a friend of another prolific Kipper tweeter with vile far right sympathies, David Jones from Southampton.

UG#707 - Returning To Earth (Fungus, Fermentation and Food)

02-05-2015 14:46

Audio
This time we leave Deep Politics for a change of pace, and focus instead on earthier matters. Beginning with a reading of Ivan Illich's "Declaration on Soil", we look closely at the source of our food, and the humble and often overlooked organisms without which larger life forms could not live or even digest their food. Philosophy and theory are not forgotten, but this a more practical show than usual, including advice on growing and fermenting food.

@ Love Activists Liverpool - Latest Press Release - 1/5/2015

01-05-2015 17:52

Liverpool is being turned into a police state while labour politicians do nothing. Just take a look at the dispersal order handed to our friends and family for feeding the homeless people of Liverpool, for providing an essential service, which the council is failing to provide. Merseyside Police's use of the Anti-Social Behaviour , Crime and Policing Act 2014 - Section 34/35 powers to move people away from outside the building is a deliberate attack on the human rights of people who support our occupation of the former Bank of England building, 31 Castle St, Liverpool.
