CLEAR LIES: The Dirty, Deadly Truth about Bush's Assault on Planet Earth's Air

While Bush is in UK schmoozing with the Queen (how could she do this to the British people - is she just as bad as Bush in her public indifference or what?), back home, his goons in Congress are taking advantage of the media distraction of the trip to try to ram through a catastrophic energy bill that will impact everyone, ultimately, on planet Earth.. His lies about Iraq are just the tip of his evil iceberg of lies. Read more >>

TRASH OUR TOXIC TEXAN - By a Loyal American

AS AN AMERICAN, I hope you "dis" our Toxic Texan, the fraudulent President George W. Bush. If you are a true friend of America, you will take your lead from the grandmother who scaled the fence at Buckingham Palace and the thousands who are marching for decency and against the Bush-Blair Axis of Evil. This is as important to Americans as it is to you. We are watching your nation and hope that you display your loyalty to us rather than to G.W. Bush. Read more >>

GO GRANNY, GO GRANNY, GO GRANNY GO!

The little old lady named Lindis Percy
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
Has a pretty little flower bed of white gardenias
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
But parked high up on a Buckingham gate
Is an upside down symbol against occupier hate

CHORUS:
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner
Than the little old lady named Lindis Percy
(She climbs real fast and she jumps real hard)
She's the terror of the Palace Guard

Is this in good taste? (Mc.Ranch comes to Palace...)

oh no sorry, apparently according to Reuters it's a Jousting Tent! :-)
- a sort of "medieval marquee" that's been built to welcome Bush!

Reuters: "The two-domed tent, made of wood, poles and canvas, took three days to erect, said a policeman outside the palace.

"I wouldn't have it in my front room," said the policeman, understandably wishing to remain anonymous."

Letter from America - THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROTESTS!

I am an American activist who is appalled by our President Bush, and am writing to support your Bush protests from America. I saw Bush on American TV last night. An announcer from the UK said he had never seen this much vehemence towards a U.S. president in the UK EVER. Bush's response was that he was HAPPY to go to a country where protest/free speech was openly embraced and allowed. The hypocrisy here is unbelievable.

Prepared for the Provacateurs

Check out this article from cancun indy during WTO mtgs-
After the violence triggered by paid provocateurs on Tuesday, the death of Mr. Lee, and a general climate of anger and repression, everyone feared the worst sort of confrontation on Saturday, and the police brought in massive reinforcements. They tripled the size of the metal barriers, and the provocateurs showed in greater numbers, with shopping carts filled with stones and huge metal bars. But the diverse sectors of legitimate protestors came together in an amazing plan that produced the most beautiful, moving and symbolic protest imaginable, so powerful that we were all sure we had reached and passed the turning point viz-a-viz the WTO.

2 BP bosses in one day - report(s) from London Rising Tide actions

Thursday 13th November 2003 saw BP Chairman Peter Sutherland and BP CEO John Browne out and about on a full-on charm offensive. Could this have been to counteract the bad publicity the company had been getting over the approval of public funding for the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline? In response, London Rising Tide and its new alter ego the Foundation for the Advancement of Big Oil (or FABO) decided to hijack the slick BP green(wash) machine. Read more >>
