Fascists talk nonce sense
01-04-2012 08:55
In response to continued exposes of cover-ups of paedophilia within fascist and far right groups, the British Nationalist Man Child Love Association has released this message:
There has been a lot of nonsense spouted by the unwashed students of the left recently concerning the stance of British nationalists over paedophilia. Our fellow patriots in the EDL, BNP, etc. have, quite rightly, sought to attack Moslem men who prey upon white girls. "The disgusting rape of children committed by foreigners who seek to sully our gene pool with their perverted and lustful miscegenation must be opposed by all patriots.
"The reds have responded with their usual hysterical shrieks pointing to the cases of convicted nationalist paedophiles, such as Richard Price (EDL leadership), Michael Coates (EDL/North West Infidels), Brett Moses (EDL), Darren Francis (Northants BNP), Gavin Leist (Loughborough BNP), Mark Walker (BNP), Ian Hindle & Paul Wells (BNP), Nigel Hesmondhalgh (BNP), Roderick Rowley (BNP), Martyn Gilleard (British People's Party, National Front, BNP), Jon Venables (BNP supporter) and Kevin Strom (American neo-nazi and personal friend of Nick Griffin). They suggest that we are hypocritical for attacking Muslim child molesters whilst allowing them to flourish on our own side.
"This is simply missing the point.
"Comparing these pinnacles of the master race with immigrants who have come to this country to prey on our children is outrageous. These patriots are defenders of a nationalist tradition of seeking a pure love between a man and a young maiden.
"Some misunderstand this as exploitative, abusive and sick. The British Nationalist Man Child Love Association say that they are wrong.
"We want to defend the white tradition of paedophilia and assert our God-given right to dominate the earth. That is why British nationalist movements attract men who use their authority and power to pressure children into sex. We see it as our traditional right.
"We are not hypocrites. We are not sick. We are nationalists."

Teachers strike against Nottm CC plan for a 5 term
31-03-2012 18:55
Thursday 29 March 2012
At around miday and later at 4pm, teachers and supporters gathered in the Market Square to protest at Nottingham City Council plan for a 5 term Year.
The NUT says, the first of what may be a series of strikes attracted strong support from members. Almost all the schools involved in the strike were completely or partially closed.
The day started with pickets at some schools that were remaining partially open. From 10 am until 5:30 pm teachers were involved in activities outside the Council House in the Old Market Square. Leaflets were distributed to parents and public and around a thousand showed their support by signing our petition against the 5 Term Year.
At 12 noon strikers gathered in the Mrket Square to hear a few speakers explaining the reason for our strike. Kevin Courtney Deputy General Secretary was amongst the speakers.
Public leafleting continued during the day until a further meeting for school workers not on strike was held at 4:30 pm.
The Nottingham Post ran a poll about the issue during the day and the results were as follows:
How do you feel about today's teachers' strike over the five-term year plans?
58% I am against the five-term year plans and support the strike action
27% I am in favour of the five-term year plans and do not support the strike action
10% I am against the five-term year plans but do not support the strike action
4% I am undecided
2% I am in favour of the five-term year plans but support the strike action
A majority of the public are clearly opposed to the 5 Term Plan.
City Councillors had been invited to meet teachers at any time between 10 am and 5 pm but not one chose to do so. In an email from Councillors Collins and Mellen to the NUT they wrote:
Members of the Labour Group discussed your request at a meeting on Monday evening, and whilst members of the Labour Group would be happy to meet NUT members, the NUT does not feel it appropriate that this meeting takes place in the middle of a school day.
Whilst their reluctance to meet teachers during the school day is somewhat petty, their refusal to do so even after school, shows how determined they are not to allow all Councillors to hear the views of members. A small group of Executive Councillors will not tolerate any open debate with all the elected Councillors of Nottingham.
They had offered to meet a delegation of NUT members at some future date but you can be sure this will only be with selected Councillors who have already indicated a refusal to negotiate on the key principles of the 5 Term Year.

31-03-2012 16:55
Bristol is hosting a conference both against the growing use of drones in war and from corporate arms companies selling drones. Bristol Against The Arms Trade sets out the case against drones and war.
Over the last few years the use of unmanned drones has grown and grown. Offering the controllers the ability to project force anywhere in the world without the risk of loosing any personnel, the attractions for the military are clear. Yet there is growing evidence that the drones are far from the surgical strikers the military claims they are, for example the operators often make mistakes which result in the killing of civilians. The huge rise in their use has meant lots of dead bodies yet with little to no due-process or control of the assassinations. It has also meant rising anger in the regions blighted by their use. For example the US military admits that it targets people who simply pass by the results of an attack, claiming they must be linked to the original target, yet more often, they are not. The use of drones has gone from a rare military technology to commonplace in both military and policing circles. Questions need to be asked! Bristol Against The Arms Trade Present – Down the Drones Conference – Sunday April 1st 2012
1pm - 6pm at the ARC bar/cafe Broad St Bristol
Maya Evans – She has just returned from Afghanistan on a peace delegation with Voices for Creative Nonviolence and the Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers. Maya amongst other things won “a partial victory” in the High Court, when it ruled that Afghans detained by British forces could no longer be transferred to a detention centre in Kabul run by Afghanistan’s intelligence agency (NDS), because of the risk of torture.
Joanne Baker - Co-author of Uranium in Iraq: The Poisonous Legacy of the Iraq wars. From the charity Child Victims Of War Joanne will be talking about the weapons of modern warfare and their deadly legacy on civilians.
Chris Cole – Possibly the most educated activist on the growing usage of drones in modern warfare, co-author of Convenient Killing: Armed Drones and the Playstation Mentality. Chris from Drone Wars UK is going to speak about the growing use of drones in conflict around the world.
Smash EDO - Is a Brighton-based grassroots campaign against EDO MBM/ITT – a company that makes bomb racks, release clips and arming mechanisms for warplanes and drones. Smash EDO activists have carried out numerous direct actions and demonstrations against EDO’s Brighton arms factory. Someone from the campaign will be speaking about war, arms manufacture and direct action.
Bristol Down The Drone Conference is part of a build up towards the Bristol UAV conference on April 2nd 2012. We will be resisting the drone conference with a noise demo

In response to the Government's moves to criminal squatting in residential properties people gathered in Bristol on Friday to protest against the passing of the Legal Aid Bill. Around 30 to 40 protesters meet outside Metropolis on Stokes Croft (another empty property, which if the Government has it's ways, would be left to rot in the interests of property speculators). Comrades from The Red & Black Umbrella in Cardiff even came over to Bristol to join the protest!At 2:30PM people set off down the street, taking the road and displaying a banner which read: "Whatever They Say, Squatting Will Stay!"
Energy, Climate and Cuts: A Fork in the Road
30-03-2012 22:45
We are living in a world where the effects of energy systems on society are becoming more crucial by the day and ignoring them will become more and more difficult. This statement while true is, in some ways, very misleading. It is not the case that energy has become more important to the functioning of society – it has always been one of the most important factors. However, the wave of extreme energy extraction methods that is sweeping across the planet, driven by rising energy prices and constrained supplies, is forcing similarly rapid changes in the world around us.Smash EDO: Upcoming events

'If they come for me tonight they will come for you in the morning' – Angela DavisIn Britain today there are a group of men held in prison without trial or any form of due legal process, and they are being detained indefinitely. These men have committed no crimes in Britain and are being held at the behest of a foreign state, the U.S., whilst their extradition to that country has been ruled unlawful by the British court. Their continued imprisonment, in breach of the most elemental civil and human rights, has clear implications for every citizen in the U.K. because if the rule of law is suspended in the case of any unpopular minority then dangerous precedents are set that will eventually be used against anyone or any group viewed as worthy of 'special measures'.
