29-06-2008 07:29 | Anti-racism | World

We say NO to to the the ethnic filing of the Rroms - with or without fingerprints’ record, which recalls the darkest years of European and world history!

If a recent article in the New York Times is to be believed, the Bush regime are trying their damned hardest to get their mitts on the personal data of E.U. citizens. Ideally they want your secrets before Bush leaves office. That means your browsing habits and credit card records. The EFF are already onto it, are you?

Simian Reason & Great Apes

27-06-2008 20:23 | Analysis | Culture | History | World

This week the Catalan eco-socialist deputy to the Spanish parliament, Joan Herrera saw his bill to commit the Spanish state to the "Declaration on Great Apes" become law. The greater simians comprising chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans are now to enjoy 3 rights - that of life, Protection of individual liberty & Prohibition of torture.

I argue that this long campaigned for victory belongs not only to animal rights campaigners but to all those who are committed to secular and humanist society.

Zimbabwe at War

27-06-2008 03:16 | Social Struggles | World

This is a war between revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries; between nationalists and quislings; between Zimbabwean patriots and the US and Britain.

Should an election be carried out when a country is under sanctions and it is has been made clear to the electorate that the sanctions will be lifted only if the opposition party is elected? Should a political party which is the creation of, and is funded by, hostile foreign forces, and whose program is to unlatch the door from within to provide free entry to foreign powers to establish a neo-colonial rule, be allowed to freely operate? Should the leaders of an opposition movement that takes money from hostile foreign powers and who have made plain their intention to unseat the government by any means available, be charged with treason? These are the questions that now face (have long faced) the embattled government of Zimbabwe, and which it has answered in its own way, and which other governments, at other times, and have answered in theirs.
