This will no doubt please his idol Margaret Thatcher who was previously responsible for wasting billions on WMD. Read more >>

Arrests of peace campaigners in House of Commoms

As MPs debated today over the UKs strategic nuclear deterrence programme in the hours before a final decision was made 3 people were arrested in the House of Commons. They were just a few of the many across Britain who placed themselves in the hands of police officers to make their message, and that of the nations heard. Risking their careers and their freedom for their principles. Read more . . . .

Trident critical mass pics

fish need bikes like britain needs trident
Not much to say really on what was a foregone conclusion thanks to the spineless toadies who claim to represent us. If Britain wasn't already morally bankrupt as a result of the Iraq war then we certainly are now after deciding to squander 26 billion on dangerous and useless toys for the boys. Read more >>

Nice one Greenpeace!

Today activists from Greenpeace scaled a large crane by Parliament and hung a banner suggesting that our prime minister is rather keen on WMD. Not an unreasonable assumption when you consider that that Mr Blair wants to spend a mere 20 billion of our money upgrading Trident. Anyone wishing to view the clear and obvious benefits of spending this kind of money on nuclear weapons should type 'hiroshima' into google.

Press release by Greenpeace below. Read more >>

Kurdish Demonstrators Arrested at the Syrian Embassy in London

the demo penned in
Some 100 Syrian Kurds from across the country held a protest today at the Syrian embassy in London to commemorate the so-called Qamishly uprising in 2004, where tens of Kurdish rioters were killed and thousands arrested by the Syrian police and army. The demo was restricted and 'penned in', but four angry protesters managed to break off and get to the embassy. All four, two of whom are said to be asylum seekers, were violently arrested and taken to Belgrave police station. Read more >>

SOCPA shame - CPS clutching at bent straws

It was nice to see some democracy and justice within a courthouse, for a change.

I would like to offer Judge Wadsworth a huge bouquet of roses and many thanks. After seeing the likes of the bent DJ Evans, the corrupt DJ Snow and their crony DJ Purdy, I have had a small amount of my faith restored in the justice system. For the minute, anyway... Read more >>

London antiwar demonstration downplays threat of war against Iran

In 2003, one million people took to the streets of London to protest against the war in Iraq. Four years later, amidst Bush’s “surge” in Iraq and the advanced preparations for a military assault on Iran, the capital saw somewhat less than 30,000 march on Saturday under the slogan, “No Trident—Troops out of Iraq.” Read more >>
