Protestors Occupy Vodafone store in Birmingham
31-10-2010 22:24
Several protesters entered the Vodafone store in Birmingham New Street on Saturday, 30th October and chained themselves together to protest Vodafone's £6 Billion Tax Avoidance.Police were called to the scene, entered the store and evicted them by force, pulling them out on to the street.
The police officers attempted to prevent this video from being recorded by falsely claiming that it was forbidden to film the events that took place.
They threatened the cameraman with confiscation of the footage, but the video eventually was captured and leaked to the internet.

Nottingham Claimants' Union

Nottingham Claimants' Union - Organising benefit claimants in Nottingham to defend their welfare against government cuts
A new association is being set up to organise benefit claimants in Nottingham, to represent our interests and fight the cuts in welfare being perpetrated by the current government: Nottingham Claimants' Union. Anyone living in the area who claims a benefit - including housing/council tax benefit, working tax credits, child support etc. as well as JSA and medical benefits - is entitled to join. We also welcome help and support from those who aren't claiming benefits but who are with us in the fight. Alone we have little power to challenge the state bureaucracies that condition our lives; united and working together there is a lot we can do and we owe it to ourselves to stand up and assert our rights and needs.What will the Union do? At least the following, and maybe more:
Contribute to the general anti-cuts movement that involves many other groups and sectors of society
Help each other by mutual aid, collective activity and economy, information and moral support
Make sure benefit claimants speak for themselves and are heard rather than being ignored or spoken for by others
Link with similar groups in other parts of the country and the world
I've also created a wiki website for the NCU at http://ncu.wikispot.org/Front_Page, for the purposes of collecting useful information. Examples include details of the cuts, anti-cuts campaigns, claimants' evidence of how they're affected, advice and guidance on dealing with the DWP, links to other organisations. I've written a substantial first page, and if you join the mailing list you can read a post giving some guidance on how to use the wiki yourself.
Anyone is welcome to sign up and add to the wiki; its strength lies in its multi-contributor nature which allows a really collaborative way of working rather than a situation of exclusive control. (Like Indymedia? :) ) Those who are not benefit claimants but who are involved in the anti-cuts campaign are welcome to contribute relevant information on that. Please contact me if you have any concerns or difficulties.
Also we are going to have a first (non-public) planning meeting soon. We have invited someone from the Derbyshire Unemployed Workers' Centre in Chesterfield to give us some advice on how to set up a claimants' union. Get in touch if you would like to come to that.
More news soon.

Anti-nuclear demo ahoy!
25-10-2010 11:23
Stop Hinkley C. Boycott EDF.After the National Stop Nuclear Power Network Gathering, which was held in Bristol this weekend, participants headed for Harbourside and took their message to the water.
The Gathering shared information on government and corporate plans for new nuclear power stations across the country and discussed present and future resistance to these plans. It was a place for many different groups and individuals with an interest in resisting nuclear power to come together and network. Hopefully, there'll be a fuller report from the meeting soon.
In the meantime, here are a few pictures of yesterday's watery action. Let's have a flotilla next time!
Anti cuts demo takes place in Cambridge - hundreds attend.
