06-05-2005 10:31 | Analysis | Social Struggles | Manchester | World

From dodgy dossiers to dodgy ballots...

Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, has been re-elected with a reduced majority amid warnings of widespread electoral fraud in his Blackburn constituency.

At a public meeting in the town's cathedral, the Liberal Democrat and Conservative candidates accused the Foreign Secretary's supporters of rigging ballots to keep Labour in power.

The Religion of the Market

05-05-2005 14:29 | Globalisation | World

A plausible economic theory degenerates more and more into a fundamentalist self-immunizing superstition. Its three superstitious principles are: Trust the self-healing powers of the market! The sleek state is the best! Growth and full employment will be reached automatically without the state.

Association for the Prevention of Torture

Persons deprived of their liberty are most at risk as they are cut off from the outside world and solely dependent upon the authorities for their most basic needs and rights. The OPCAT offers a novel approach as no other international treaty provides for concrete steps to prevent these violations from occurring within places of detention worldwide.

Local Residents Fight Parkwood Landfill Expansion Proposals

04-05-2005 10:55 | Sheffield | World

Proposals are being put before the council this week
for a massive enlargement of the Parkwood Landfill
site, allowing a substantial increase in capacity from
just 266,000 tonnes a year to a staggering 1 million
tonnes. The Parkwood Landfill site is on the edge of
Shirecliffe and overlooks many areas including
Hillsborough, Upperthorpe and Walkley. Local residents
are fighting these proposals and demanding a public
consultation. However, their on going investigation
into the proposals is raising more questions than
answers. Residents are beginning to see a possible
link emerging between the new massive incinerator in
Sheffield, which is nearing completion, and the
proposals for the enlargement of the Parkwood Landfill
Site. If under these proposals the Parkwood landfill
site was to have its suspended special waste licence
reinstated, the expansion of the landfill site would
enable the ash from the new Bernard Roads incinerator
to be dumped there.

To stabilize the value of the dollar, the US needs a daily currency inflow of $1.8 billion.. The budget plan of the White House rests on unrealistic assumptions and ignores the most costly expenditures.. The Bush administration assumes higher revenues by means of the tax cuts.

Downing street and Whitehall blockaded by refugees holding a 'Die In'.

02-05-2005 15:17 | Anti-racism | Repression | Social Struggles | World

Today over 200 human rights campaigners (most of them Sudanese refugees) blockaded Downing Street and part of Whitehall to protest over government inaction over the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Many of the demonstraters carried the names of some of the estimated 300,000 people that have been murdered during the ethnic cleansing or have died as a result of it. 3,000 people are dying in the region every week, thats 52 9/11s every year!

The Police were taken completely by surprise by the action and had no choice but to let it go ahead. They were outnumbered by about 20-1. There were no arrests.

The international community could easily act to stop what is a totally preventable trajedy of biblical proportions. This would cost a fraction of the money spent murdering 100,000 civilians in Iraq. But there is no oil in Darfur is there?

Dutch ambassador: be a militarist, vote Blair

The Dutch ambassador to the UK, Count Jan de Marchant et d'Ansembourg, said he hoped that Tony Blair would win the British elections of 5 May. That, he said on Dutch NOS TV, would better for Dutch relations to George W. Bush's USA.

It would also be better for chances of forming an European army (for wars like in Iraq?).
