Mars Attacks! The corporatisation of Birmingham's community space
14-12-2007 14:23
Mars Pension Trustees, owners of Fiveways Centre in Birmingham, are threatening to shut it down in the New Year regardless of no planning application having been submitted and no firm proposals for development in place. This will mean the closure of some independent businesses that add great diversity to the corporate landscape of Birmingham City Centre including Cafe One, Fairtrade music venue and meeting space for student and campaign groups inc.

The recent summit between African heads of states and the EU has shown that some Europe has failed to move beyond their colonial-era past-times of economic and political bullying. The African delegates gave Europe an unmistakable cold shoulder on the two big issues of the conference: trade, especially the European proposed Economic Partnership Agreements, and European political interference in African affairs, centered on British arrogance towards Zimbabwe.The globalization of fabricated terror plots
