Wave at Bush and Blair people with your left hand!

06-05-2005 10:18

It is extremely impolite to offer the left hand for a hand shake or to wave a greeting as this implies rubbing the "unhygienic residue" of the left hand on the person being waved to. So when one sees unpleasant people...

Thanks, UK, for Electing Your Mussolini to Our Hitler (from USA)

05-05-2005 16:51

Tony Blair is Mussolini to our Hitler, America's first openly fascist president. We had no choice (Kerry): You at least have a choice. Below is a secret memo showing how subservient your government is to ours (America's). With the arrest of the Israeli syp Larry Franklin of the Pentagon, we now know to whom our govenment (US) is subservient.

The Religion of the Market

05-05-2005 14:29

A plausible economic theory degenerates more and more into a fundamentalist self-immunizing superstition. Its three superstitious principles are: Trust the self-healing powers of the market! The sleek state is the best! Growth and full employment will be reached automatically without the state.

Iraq-o-mat: Cleaning Dollars for Corporations

05-05-2005 08:23

Corporations profiting from Iraq
Much of the post-war corporate activity in Iraq has come under heavy criticism from many different fronts. There are accusations of corruption, bribery and nepotism as well as simple incompetence - the jobs just aren't getting done... So what is all the `reconstruction' activity in Iraq really about? Supposedly post-war Iraq is a neo-liberal utopia, an economy freed of the tiresome and inefficient burdens of government regulation. Yet an examination of this same economy may lead one to conclude that the system as it stands is rampant with inefficiency. Indeed Iraq's economy today looks less like an economic utopia than a giant money-laundering operation...

Pictures of the London Mayday PRECARITY action.

02-05-2005 00:17

After a brief but meaningful visit to TESCOs in Hackney, a few hundred like minded individuals were herded onto the pavement outside the store and held in the sunshine for about one hour and a half. The arrests and aggressive behaviour by the Police were met by an equal amount of determination/dignity/solidarity by the protesters inside and outside of the cordon.
The demo was moved to London Fields were the party continued with the aid of the samba band.
There was more Police aggression resulting in more arrests and solidarity/resistance. Eventually the cops withdrew after an afternoon of unecessary provocation and bullying.
WELL DONE to everyone who turned out to protest, create, party and defy the intimidation.
