Blackwood Update, and Nine ladies
rowan, 29-02-2004 17:20
Word is that a team of 36 chainsaws will be at Blackwood soon.
Don't know exactly when, but they're appealing for as many people as possible to stop them, the numbers there at the moment don't stand much of a chance against 36!
With that number of chainsaws the trees will all be destroyed very quickly, and before the European Court has a chance to decide on this development.

Resistance in Swansea University
Matt Reinhart, 27-02-2004 16:54
Students and staff at Swansea University are resisting a proposal by the Vice Chancellor to close down 5 departments at the university, introduce variable top-up fees and cut local bursaries and grants. Amongst other direct action, a protest has been called for the 10th of march when the university senate meeting will take place where the decisions will be made. If these proposals go ahead, this will represent the corporate takeover of our higher education system, further polarising the gap between rich and poor students, creating a two tier education system, part of the broader neo-liberal agenda.

rowan, 23-02-2004 21:51
A reminder about tomorrow if anyone can get there - 2pm, Blackwood Magistrates.
But more importantly - more people are desperately needed on site during the next few days - if the eviction order goes through they need MORE PEOPLE to help.
At the moment there are too few people to put up any kind of resistance - lets not let this just fizzle out without a bang! Read more >>
