"We want to create open spaces for networking, exchanges, celebration, thinking, and action. We believe our ways of organising and acting should reflect our political visions, and are united in standing for grassroots self-organisation, horizontality, for diversity and inclusion, for direct democracy, collective decision making based upon consensus, and against the false consensus in which power is used to silence others." http://www.altspaces.net

Blair Has Lost His Grip, In the end we’ll give in to terrorists, so why not now
02-10-2004 17:29
Two salient facts define the national political predicament this autumn. The first is a growing sense of disquiet about Tony Blair. Experts often speak of the lack of ‘trust’ which shows up in opinion polls. But there is more to it than that. People are beginning to sense that there is something rum about this Prime Minister, and that he is no longer quite 16 annas to the rupee.
---
Paul Robinson says the Tories are so frightened of challenging Blair on the war that their favourite think-tank will not tolerate dissent.
---
At the time of writing, the hostage Ken Bigley, so far as we know, lives. While he endures his ordeal, the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary said that they could not negotiate with his tormentors. That would be to ‘give in to terrorism’. Those — who must include Mr Blair and Mr Straw, as well as the rest of us — who want so much for Mr Bigley to live must rely on intermediaries such as the two eloquent Muslims from Britain who have gone to Iraq to do what they can.

London Sound Study: Online art exhibition and free mp3 download
01-10-2004 15:52
Exhibition from 1 Oct to until 7 November 2004 on
http://www.thecentreofattention.org The sound study project began in October 2002 when Boyle Family asked visitors to Construction art space to throw darts at an unseen target. This was a mixed-up A-Z map of Greater London which extended beyond the M25. 79 sites were pinpointed by the darts and each visitor was also asked to choose a random time – one of the minutes of the day. Over the following months Boyle Family went to each site and recorded one minute of its sound at the given time.
This sampling of a moment gives the work a filmic suggestivity and a zen-like quality. From 1 Oct, the files will be available to listen and to download from
http://www.thecentreofattention.org onto your computer or iPod for free. With this web-based and aural exhibition, the Centre of Attention seeks to further its examination of the formalities of production, distribution and consumption of art. It also provides an accessible, easy and alternative interface to the traditional gallery experience.

British hostage in Iraq Kenneth Bigley is seen in this video made available from his captors on the internet Thursday Sept. 30 2004. Bigley was abducted from a Baghdad home two weeks before along with two Americans who have since been beheaded by a group demanding the relase of females from American-controlled prisons in Iraq. Despite his empassioned appeal in the video, Britain's Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said Thursday that no ransom or concession would be paid to secure his release.(AP Photo)U.k to track internal movement of citizens
