Third Reading of ID Bill next week! Ask MPs to Vote NO

> From latest NO2ID newsletter:

"++ IDENTITY CARDS BILL THIRD (LAST IN HOUSE OF COMMONS) READING IMMINENT ++

The Third Reading of the government's ID Card Bill will take place next week,
on Tuesday 18th October. There will be a limited debate and further
opportunity for MPs to vote on the Bill before it goes to the Lords. At the

16 Labour MPs to vote against the bill. NO2ID are busy lobbying and sending
briefings to MPs and constituencies but we need your help too." Read more >>

Corp Watch article on Liverpool housing 'renewal' plans

The September issue of Corporate Watch features an article on the threatened housing demolitions in Liverpool:

http://www.corporatewatch.org/?lid=1950
"Over four hundred homes in Liverpool face demolition, as part of the government's plans to raise house prices in the North and Midlands of England. This is another project within the 'Pathfinder' housing market renewal scheme, and is also linked to the preparation for Liverpool's term as 'City of Culture 2008'. To the residents of Liverpool's Edge Lane West, however, the scheme looks very much more like part of a culture of total disrespect for local residents on the part of politicians and corporations.
