25-05-2009 17:21

Rev Billy and his choir were in Cambridge today, and joined the no tesco on Mill Road campaign. After an initial sermon at the old Wilco site on Mill Road, where a new Tesco is opposed by a local campaign, the festivities moved to the humongous Tesco on New Market road, where he preached by the tills. Security got a bit twitchy, and the sermon continued outside.

Birmingham Pride

21-05-2009 13:41

I've just come across the following piece on the BBC site. A slightly different take on the usual reporting of a dragged up Pride. An interesting read, I agree Pride is becoming too commercial and a calendar date like music festivals, there isn't much left about lgbt struggles. This idea that we should brush the political element of Pride aside because 'times have changed' is absurd. We still have battles to fight all over the world. Gay marriage in America, persecution in Iran and Zimbabwe. Pride needs to be reclaimed or an alternative created but would the 'gay clubbing' generation of today even attend such an event?

"Drop The Charge" Demo Pictures.

16-05-2009 18:09

Today something unprecedented happened.

Community arts event organisers found themselves having to protest against the police who up until now have turned up to cover their events for no extra charge, as it was understood it was covered by our taxes.

But now a PRIVATE company, by the name of ACPO is demanding fees from ALL organisers of ALL community events, so the police can turn up and do the very same job they've been doing FOR NO EXTRA CHARGE for years.
