15-06-2008 17:40

The fine people at "Adbusters" have decided what we all ought to do is consider entering their competition to design a flag we can all rally around and under. Or in their words:- "We invite you to create a flag – free from language and well-worn clichés – that embodies the idea of global citizenship. A symbol that triggers pride and cohesion, whether worn on a backpack, displayed on a door, or flown on a flagpole. A symbol for anyone to declare membership in a growing and vital human cooperative" Gurgle. Deadline for entries are the first of December 2008.

Spanish Republican ex-political prisoners scolded in Congress for flag

14-06-2008 22:35

It was supposed to be a day in which the current Spanish state paid lip-service to the memory of the legitimate 2nd republic overthrown by Franco in the preamble to the second world war. Accordingly ex-political prisoners who were imprisoned for their Republican loyalties during the Franco dictatorship were invited to sit in the lower house of the Spanish parliament and look like nice well adjusted elderly people who despite knowing that more than 200,000 of their fellows are still in unmarked graves, feel really special and adjusted now. Then one of them started waving the flag of the 2nd republic about.

We know that the right song at the right moment can unify, inspire,
educate and galvanise.
We know that it can be brutally silenced.
We know that many voices can be heard where one might be lost.

Squatting in the media, a squatter responds

05-06-2008 02:39

On Monday 2nd June, inaccurate and prejudicial articles about squatting appeared in the Hate Mail and the Torygraph, then not to be out done, the Daily Star. All were regurgitating some bullshit statement from the conservative party made by Eric Pickles (a particularly nasty right-wing pro-hunt homophobic toad from Essex). So clearly lacking any genuine research or analysis and so blatant in their anti squatter bias, I felt compelled to complain...

Surviving Powercuts&/or conspiracies to end Gordon Brown - a "Q&A"

28-05-2008 21:43

The UK national grid has taken the blame for power cuts which left hundreds of thousands of Britons (& Scottish people) without electricity yesterday for more substantial reasons than being scared of violating their probation status by leaving their hovels with an electronic tag device around their ankle to stick their charge key in the meter.

The tone thus set, a simple "Q&A" for people who'd like to know how to make their own electricity so that dark hidden conspiracies to make Gordon Brown as unpopular as Harold Wilson affect not their households.
