Support the Cuban People -- Help Send a Bookmobile to Cuba!
03-06-2007 14:37
The US embargo on trade with Cuba continues. This summer Pastors for Peace will again challenge the blockade with a friendship caravan. A fully stocked bookmobile will accompany it. Before the revolution there were only 32 libraries in Cuba. In 2002 there were 400 public libraries and 6000 school libraries. Cubans are avid readers and life long learners but Cuban librarians struggle to meet their needs under the blockade. We urge you join us in sending books to Cuba!Full article | 1 addition | 7 comments

Performances of Asylum Monologues in 12 UK cities on June 21Balibo, 32 years of Australian Cowardice
31-05-2007 01:02
The infamous Balibo murders perfectly illustrate Australian cowardice and Indonesian barbarity. It should be stated from the outset that the truth of the cold-blooded murder of the Balibo five has been known since the day of the crime in 1975. The cringing attitude displayed by successive Australian governments toward the barbaric Indonesians has made Australia a laughing stock in Asia. All successive Labor and Liberal governments that perpetuated the lie of a tragic accident (caught in a cross-fire) are guilty of criminal suppression of the truth and criminal collusion with the murderers -- grubby oil deals notwithstanding.Simon Reynolds interview: Pop, politics, hip-hop and postpunk

A) Rostock
29-05-2007 11:01
This question has been asked twice now, and quite rightly hidden. For if your idea of an anti-Thatcher song is by the monster-rock Pink Floyd then you are probably just too dumb to educate. When Sid Vicious was signed up he was wearing a Pink Floyd T Shirt that he'd scrawled 'I HATE' on. Luckily anarchist protest songwriting has progressed a great deal since 'Anarchy in The UK' but I still hate 'the Floyd'.Nottingham Refugee Week 2007 - 16th–24th June
