01-03-2010 14:48


In Washington each new day brings a fresh call to "reform entitlement programs" — Social Security, Medicare, etc., (in Congress, the word "reform" now means to eliminate, or drastically reduce).

Is London Critical Mass getting its act together?

27-02-2010 11:42

During last night's February 26th ride I had the distinct impression that CM is gaining control of the traffic which threatens it. Corked drivers were mostly patient and were thanked by corkers as the end of the ride passed and there seemed to be less hooting.

I did speak to one corker who had been rammed by a driver but he said his bike was undamaged.

Glaxo Smith Kline have been caught experimenting on Black and Hispanic children in the U.S.A. Pfizer were caught experimenting on children in Nigeria, Africa. This has gone alarmingly unpublicised. For years people have campaigned to stop animal experimentation while these Nazi crimes against children have gone relatively unchallenged. Clusters of new labs are being built in the UK.
