Ancient woodland threatened by oil drilling help us try and save it!

09-04-2009 12:35

Ancient Bury Hill Wood
Europa Oil and Gas has applied to drill for oil at Bury Hill Wood which is part of the Abinger Forest, Surrey. The hydrocarbon exploration site (or oil well as most people know it!) will result in the loss of 0.74 hectares (1.8 acres) of precious ancient woodland.

The testing phase of the application will last a minimum of five weeks, however depending on what is found the works could last significantly longer.

Civil Disobedience Protest in Response to Chemical Weapons Atrocity in Sri Lanka

09-04-2009 10:59

British Tamils staged a civil disobedience protest on Monday night on Westminster Bridge. The protest was a spontaneous response, organised by text message, to the news that the Sri Lankan government had used chemical weapons on Tamil civilians at Bhuthukudiyrup in Mulaithivu, killing one and a half thousand people. The NGO War Without Witness has confirmed that mustard gas was used in the attack. Journalists, aid agencies, human rights monitoring groups and the United Nations are all barred by the Sri Lankan government from entering the conflict zone. The mainstream media did, for the first time, provide some coverage of the protest, but has not mentioned the reason for it. Many hundreds of Tamil families, having been moved forcibly from Westminster Bridge by the Metropolitan Police, are now camped out on Parliament Square in an illegal protest, which they are determined to continue until the British Government takes its supposed support for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire to the United Nations Security Council.

Tamil protest still going strong /continues

There are more than 2000 Tamils in Parliament square at time of me writing including many women with children and babies and many old people. They are determined not to go home until their demands are heard. Whatever happened to SOCPA legislation... Police repression remains heavy, many people have been injuried. Please go and support. Sleeping bags needed!

Some thoughts on the G20 police riot

07-04-2009 17:20

As has been said numerous times now, we need to take stock of the police riot on April 1st 2009 during the G20 protests. Although none of the tactics were that new, the level of intimidation and repression of public protest was entirely something different. I suppose this is the way things will be from now on. With this is mind, it's a time of learning from the past and from the G20 protests.
