Stricken lender Northern Rock has attracted a buyer.

Institutions see no value in purchasing Northern Rock. The alternative exists: the Depositors are acknowledged as the de-facto owners of Northern Rock and the whole enteprise is mutualised. Northern Rock has a buyer: its depositors. Read more >>

What Does Democracy Really Mean In Preston?

A Preston councillor has asked questions about the democracy of decision making about key decisions affecting the future of Preston's Town Centre, and of the ecology of the River Ribble - but what does democracy really mean in Preston, when council officials, directly involved in the decisions affecting our future, are leaving our town like rats leaving a sinking ship?

Return Beatrice to Liverpool

Beatrice who was living in Liverpool was 'removed' to Cameroon on 28th August after being held in Yarls Wood detention camp for many weeks. Beatrice resisted being forced onto the plane but she has told us that she was very badly beaten and kicked by her two 'escorts'. Her condition was so bad that the Cameroonian authorities refused to acccept someone who was in such a bad state into their country and put her on a plane the same night on a flight back to the UK. She remains in Yarls Wood and has had her mobile taken from her and she is very unhappy with her legal representatives.

Leafleting at St Lukes at the top of Bold Street on Saturday 22nd September 1.30 - 2.30 for Beatrice and others, as sadly Beatrice's case is not exceptional, many others suffer from these racist immigration controls. Read more >>

Liverpool Conspiracy Evening

The third event in this opening week of Next To Nowhere was another great success (honestly, I would say if it wasn't; telling the truth is always a revolutionary act!). About twenty people discussed conspiracy theories - or 'alternative proposals' as I think we decided to call them - in a calm and respectful way. This was the first time I've ever seen that happen! It is possible! Read more >>
