Cameron: We must not be afraid to use military force against tyrants

27-09-2011 16:28

Daily Telegraph, 26 September 2011
In complete denial of the genocides perpetrated by ten years of Anglo-American-led wars across the globe, Mr Cameron and Mr Obama would still have us believe that their aim is “to spread peace, prosperity, democracy”.

EDL exposed in damning academic report

27-09-2011 08:31

The true nature of the English Defence League has been exposed in a comprehensive report recently published by academics at Northampton University. Along with detailing all aspects of the EDL, the extensively-researched report confirms that (despite the EDL’s official claims) the EDL is actually an extreme Far-Right group with considerable links to the BNP and neo-Nazis, including armed potential terrorists, and is engaged in religious persecution and the incitement of violence & hatred.

Experiences of a legal observer at Dale Farm

21-09-2011 11:05

Just back from a few nights at Dale Farm. I was on legal observer duty Monday morning 7am - 1pm. Most of it was spent on the gate scaffold observing the bailiffs rearranging their offices, then - when they realised we could see everything - they ordered in a new container to block our view. Not many police around apart from the helicopter. A few tense times when the bailiffs twice put their coffee cups down and organised themselves into groups: once they actually approached the gate but retreated after reading the notice about the lock-in.

Travellers and supporters work together to open up Dale Farm

21-09-2011 10:32

Travellers and supporters at Dale Farm will work together on Wednesday morning from 11:30 am to move barricades that are blocking access to the site [1]. The residents want to enable families to bring their trailers back on to their plots, and to enable access for emergency vehicles, but will oppose any attempt at entry by bailiffs.

The barricades were constructed to prevent Basildon Council from demolishing the homes and land of residents who have been living on the site for over ten years. The last minute reprieve caused by the High Court injunction left the site blockaded with gates, lock-ons and vans preventing access.

re: Dispatches - The Fight For Dale Farm

21-09-2011 08:47

I've lost count of the amount of times I’ve heard the words “there's one law for you fucking gypo's and another law for the rest of us”. Indeed, when you are raised a Gypsy you often come face to face with many disgruntled locals who are not exactly happy that you have just set up home on their most precious playing field. I find it somewhat ironic that these are often the same people who produced a brood of overweight, xbox addicted children who have never used (and will never miss) a playing field in their lives, but I digress. The unauthorised use of these playing fields, village greens, car parks etc. by Gypsies and Travellers fuels a hostile response from locals who feel Gypsies and Travellers are given 'special treatment' by the government and indeed this was voiced several times by angry resident's throughout last night's Dispatches.

19-09-2011 10:34

EDL leader Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka “Tommy Robinson”) recently gave an interview to the Norwegian media where he stated that he agreed with Anders Breivik’s opinions. Yaxley-Lennon also gave a speech to EDL supporters in London on 3 September 2011 in which he directly accused “every single Muslim” of being collectively responsible for 7/7, and he openly made a direct threat of EDL-led violence against the entire British Muslim population.
