02-03-2006 11:30
The Israeli army re-invaded Balata Refugee camp in full force on Thursday 23/02/06, killing five camp residents and injuring scores, including two medical workers.

01-03-2006 22:14
You are urgently called to Nottingham Magistrates Court, 9.30am on Thursday (tomorrow) to protest the illegal deportation of a 20-year-old Afghani refugee. Ali Noori came to Britain as a minor, and has been awaiting the result of his appeal to remain here. He suffers from serious asthma. He was detained at the police station today with no prior warning to him or his solicitor which, we assert, makes the deportation illegal. Hope to see you - despite the late notice - outside the magistrates court (on canal, near train station) for a protest 9.30am-10.30am.
People will be meeting at Nottingham Train station at 9.15am

Austria, Hitler and Howard’s Australia
27-02-2006 15:53
Pauline Hanson recently announced on news radio that her political views have been “vindicated”; she cited the overt racist attitudes of John Howard and Peter Costello as proof of her claim. Who could deny it? Hanson’s imprisonment on trumped-up charges was an act of political assassination instigated by Howard but executed by his then errand boy, Tony Abbott. Hanson’s trial and subsequent imprisonment effectively eliminated her and her party from the Australian political landscape; mainstream racist ideology was re-established in its rightful home, the white Australian conservative ultra-right Liberal Party of Howard! The world watches Australia take a giant leap backwards as Howard continues to divide the nation.Full article | 1 addition | 2 comments

To date four Canadian media outlets have entered the fray.
Despite death and destruction, some free speech advocates have characterized this as a defining battle. It has now become a clash of extremes with both sides reeking of double standards.
