Climate Camp Cymru, a camper's view
16-08-2010 18:46
I have just got back from South Wales, and got internet access for the first time in four days, to check any news about the Climate Camp Cymru, and I find there is next to none. I suspect the camp facilitators may be too embarrassed to say much because it was their poor organisation that helped the camp get evicted in short order.Nottingham Carnival on Alfreton Road

16-08-2010 18:24
Nottingham Caribbean Carnival 2010 was held on the Forest Recreation Ground on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th August. The highlight of the weekend was the big parade on Sunday which drew thousands of spectators.
The parade went from Friar Lane, just outside the Castle, down towards the Market Square. Making it's way along Beastmarket Hill and up Angel Row, before turning left up Mount Street, onto Maid Marian Way and then up Derby Road. From their it turned down onto Ilkeston Road, right on Highurst Road, up to Alfreton Road before turning right at Bentick Road to enter the Forest Recreation Ground.
The event was well attended and blessed by warm - if not massively sunny - weather. There were various colourful costumes including two huge puppets of cartoon characters Poeye and Olive Oil. The various floats were generally not decorated, but did carry large, and very loud, sounds systems.
At the Forest Rec, those involved in the parade queued to display their dance routine in front of the crowds. Others drifted off to explore the various stalls (which included a display from the "Army Information Team" clearly on the circuit, having also been at last week's Riverside Festival) or fairground rides.

Flexible New Deal and Jobseekers aged 60 and over
16-08-2010 15:40
Flexible New Deal has replaced New Deal. It is mandatory for Jobseekers, but those aged 60+, that is have reached the age for Pension Credits, have a choice. Why therefore are they being threatened with sanctions, ie loss of benefits, if they refuse to participate?Benefits Who?

Slowly but surely over the last few years, I've watched tolerance and understanding of mental health issues evaporate in the benefits system - not that there was much there to start with. The latest portfolio of idiots in power appear to view mental health as something that's guaranteed by the ability to earn money, and those whose mental health is poor need only to take the tablets, stop thinking about those damned problems, and just get on with earning already.Buy your Tickets for the CPC fringe events for some fun!

Events in London this week
15-08-2010 21:22
Every week in London you can see film, music, talks, workshops and organisational meetings, a myriad of ways for everyone to get involved and engage with a radical london that you may only ever otherwise hear about when the G20 comes to town, or in subtle subvertising campaigns as you pass through London's daily avenues of corporate control.
Look to the right of London Indymedia front page and you will find many events listed from all sorts of radical, non-corporate, social promoters.
This Monday, with WIKI leaks about to leak more war files, it might be a good chance to get a global catch up with a film screening of 'Big Noise Dispatches 6' at Pogo Cafe in Hackney. From the makers of 'Fourth World War', Big Noise Films have spent the last 15 years putting cameras on the ground on the other side of the military and media machine, and Since 2004 Pogo Cafe has been providing delicious vegan food and space for positive alternatives to the unyielding dominance of mainstream capitalist culture.
Event.
On Tuesday over at LARC, 'What does it mean to grow up?' a real one off event that promises to be fun and thought provoking, "What does it mean to be socially responsible? How does age affect how we understand our relationship to politics? Are activists that don't remember their history doomed to repeat it? And what exactly does it mean to 'grow up'?". LARC is a collectively run building providing space and resources, include meeting-space, library, shared offices, a roofgarden, banner and prop-making space and an action information area.
Event.
Wednesday evening is a night for 'Beautiful South', a fundraiser in Brixton's 'gloriously lowdown, coolfuck venue', The Windmill, with a load of live music and DJs, for the launch of a brand new autonomous free-of-charge south London newspaper. We can't wait!
Event.
Thursday, what looks to be another interesting discussion, back up to Hackney at 195 Mare st, 'Debate on subtle discrimination in Squats', hmmm....! All summer 195 Mare St collective has been offering a community resource in the second oldest house in Hackney and a Grade II listed building.
Event.
Friday is party night at 'The Red & Black Club' at LARC, a social event, once a month, for anarchists, libertarians and radicals to socialise, meet, drink, plot and conspire in a relaxed atmosphere and good humour.
Event.
And if your still in the mood on Saturday, the 'No Sweat Fest' all dayer, at 195 Mare St, Hackney, brings what is in all reality a mini music festival! check out the list of acts, does 195 Mare St have the space for them all? Well, it was originally a mansion for rich merchants in 1699, the year of its construction, and most recently a bank! so maybe it does have a room or two....
Event.
And after all the partying, why not join our comrades for some Sunday tea with the queen!
What ever you do, where ever you are, enjoy your week, and keep London Indymedia up-to-date with your reports, reviews, and views. In solidarity with all our struggles. See you on the streets!
