United Friends and Family March 2007

02-11-2007 16:03

The ninth annual remembrance march for those who have died in custody saw angry speeches by bereaved relatives outside Downing Street. The march started with a silent procession from Trafalgar Square to Downing Street. The Police tried in vain to speed things up and keep the traffic flowing. They have regularly made all kinds of petty attempts to harass the marchers. This year was no exception. They mobilized no less than 8 motorcycle outriders to steward a march of less than 200 people. Over policing, or just making a point?

Upon arriving at Downing Street the silent procession became a noisy explosion of anger led by Janet Alder whose brother Christopher suffocated on the floor of Hull Police station, while officers made fun of him. The Police attempted to enforce the SOCPA ban on megaphones. So Pauline Campbell took hold of the mic to remind them that she had been arrested 14 times and that previous attempts to prosecute her had failed dismally. The megaphone remained in use for the rest of the event.

After finishing at Downing street the march then proceeded to Parliament square for more speeches. The march was briefly held up by a particularly inept Police motorcyclist who parked his bike in front of the banner leading the procession. He was quickly surrounded by furious protesters and had to be removed from the melee by his colleagues. Deliberate disrespect, or just inept?

Northern Assurance super-glued shut as protest against Brook House

02-11-2007 10:13

The locks of the Northern Assurance Building were super-glued shut in the early hours of Friday, 2 November. This was an act of sabotage against FD Tamesis, housed in this building, intended to highlight the company's involvement in the construction of what will be the UK's largest immigrant deportation centre, Brook House near Gatwick Airport. 2 November is a national day of action against Brook House, called by the No Borders network: across the country, companies with a hand in this new deportation centre will be targeted, pressuring them to end their involvement.

Siege of Gaza Will Lead to Violent Escalation

02-11-2007 00:56

A violent escalation is precisely the response Israel is hoping to provoke.

When that happens, Israel will re-take Gaza militarily, flattening every man, woman, and child still standing, while invoking the "they MADE us do this" defense" like a mantra.

Desmond Tutu Likens Israeli Actions to Apartheid

01-11-2007 01:43

And if anyone's qualified to make such an assessment, it's someone who suffered under S. African Apartheid.

Nobody has damaged Zionism's support more than the Extremists currently running Israel, and whipping up the Madness we've experienced these past six years.

Israeli Legal Advisor Halts Gaza Collective Punishment

30-10-2007 03:13

Has the British media been covering this? The US and Canadian media has been almost silent on the issue. The plan appears to be to ignore the initial provocation - just as the media ignored Israel and America's support of the failed coup attempt by Fatah in Gaza - and only focus on the predicted Palestinian response, which will then be used to 'justify' Israel's long-planned assault on the world's largest Concentration Camp.

Starting to understand how the game is played?
