The station was evecuated and the area subject to an ever expanding cordon when I arrived. It was calm. It was obvious than other than a few cases of panic/stress there were no injuries as the Ambulances and Fire engines slowly left one by one. A chopper circled overhead for a few hours but has now gone too. The surrounding roads have now reopened though the station is closed and surrounded by cops with machine guns. Lots of activity inside.

When you consider how badly Parliament has shafted the rest of us it’s hardly surprising that they treat their own cleaners like dirt as well. The T&G Trade union today organised a 1 day strike and protest over the conditions experienced by the agency staff who clean Tony Blair’s toilet.

Management at the Rolls Royce engineering plant in Bristol recently suffered a humiliating clime down when two suspended workers were reinstated after unofficial strike action. Since then they have suspended popular shop steward Jerry Hicks and today they sacked him. This will almost certainly result in ballots for strike action at the plant and the company’s other depots. The pictures below are from Mondays Solidarity demo at the factory gates.

Floats banged out music as hundreds more Derby residents lined the streets and gathered in the Market Place to join in the party atmosphere. Groups came from as far away as Leeds and London to join in the celebrations. The Derby West Indian Community Association, which organised the event, described it as the best ever.

The streets were awash with colour and alive with music as hundreds of participants in the 19th Derby Carnival danced to the Market Place on Saturday. More than 20 groups of dancers and costumed bands, some numbering more than 100, wound their way from Pear Tree Infant School, in Pear Tree Street, through the streets of Normanton and into the city centre.

On Saturday the roving Burberry convention that is the National Front tried (unsurprisingly) to drum up some cheap publicity for themselves at the expense of the London bombing victims. The ‘Anti Islam’ march achieved absolutely nothing other than confirm their status as the saddest bunch of fuckwits on the far right.

Some how, amongst much police confusion, where road blocks were not about stopping traffic, but 'discouraging it', we managed to get our vehicles up a narrow lane to what looked like the media entrance of Gleneagles hotel. Hidden behind a police pen and crowd of media was the G8 bike ride people.

Luckily, it was another false alarm. But, this is now a feature of life in Britain, with everyone on such a 'short fuse' after the London Attacks. To see the military on our streets is still quite a shock to many of us that are more used to a civil society.
