It's a violation of their bodily integrity
"Really if a young person has the capacity to make a decision about medical treatment, then they shouldn't be treated without their consent simply because they're in a juvenile detention centre."

10-07-2006 19:57

The complete inability of the War Criminals to prove their Official 911 Conspiracy Theory, in nearly four years, coupled with the desperate measures being employed to silence critics and skeptics, pretty much proves the case.

All that is missing now are the details.

"Brian Haw: The Polished Mirror"

10-07-2006 15:53

Tony Blair is forced to drive past Brian Haw’s five-year-long peace vigil on the eastern edge of Parliament Square each time the prime minister travels from Downing Street to the House of Commons.

MEDIA ALERT: BLAMING THE VICTIM IN GAZA

10-07-2006 10:09

raditionally, British media reporting of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been heavily biased in favour of the United States’ major ally in the region, Israel. A 2002 Glasgow University Media Group report found that television broadcasters were six times as likely to present Israeli attacks as “retaliating” or in some way hitting back as Palestinian attacks. This caused many viewers to believe that the Palestinians were to blame for the conflict. (Greg Philo and Mike Berry, ‘Bad News from Israel‘;

Demo in Solidarity with Chile's Students - Report & Pic

09-07-2006 16:36

On Monday 3rd July, a few activists held a short demonstration outside the Chilean Embassy. This was in response to an 'urgent call' (see:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/06/342829.html) from Chile, asking for solidarity actions to take place at the embassy due to the increasing repression being handed out to striking Chilean students (see:  http://www.narconews.com/Issue41/article1882.html). Leaflets were given in to the embassy explaining why we there, and more than 200 leaflets were given out to the general public, people visiting the embassy and passing diplomats (!).

One year on…7.7.05

08-07-2006 00:10

Bristol - 6.7.05 (pic by Tom B)
As dusk falls, I try to remember…where exactly was I one year ago, as dusk fell?
Was I, as a legal volunteer from Bristol, monitoring protests against the G8 in Gleneagles (Scotland), still on duty outside the Stirling eco-camp attempting to monitor the police’s abuse of their powers? Or had I been replaced for the night, and made it back to our Edinburgh base (and pub)? It’s all such a blur now, yet only a year ago…

Howard Zinn & 'The NN-phant in the Room'

07-07-2006 11:16

The huge omnivorous herd consumes everywhere on our earth as much as it can grab, and tramples millions of human beings to death. That doesn't seem to matter. The 'elephant boys' don't speak about the bloody pulp underneath the feet of the big animals: instead they give'm a bath in the mainstream.
