Fossil fuels should stay underground

22-10-2007 16:42

Citizens concerned about climate change need to wake up to the fact that we can't afford to rely on scientifically dubious carbon offsetting or sequestration, or on bending over backwards to limit our own emissions in the naive hope that the rest of the world will follow suit. The only safe place for the world's remaining stocks of fossil fuels is to stay where they belong - underground.

Crossrail - Why Crossrail Committee chair Labour MP Alan Meale is dodgy?

22-10-2007 16:28

Petitioners who have been surprised by the actions of the Crossrail Committee led by Alan Meale MP may wish to know that Meale was a PPS to John Prescott: as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party between 1994-97. Mr Meale has been censoring witnesses and stopping petitioners from questioning the flawed crossrail scheme. Mr Meale left his position with Prescott after complaints that he lobbied for planning conent for developments 160 miles away from any of his declared interests. With ethics like these, Meale is a natural friend of two Jags John Prescott and for hiding the truth of the Crossrail scheme.

"From Guy Fawkes to 911" UK tour - 400 Years of State Sponsored Terror

22-10-2007 15:45

U.S. 'Terrorologist' author Webster Tarpley tours Britain starting this tour in London on Guy Fawkes night. History is full of examples of elements within the state using fake 'terrorism' to drive the political classes and people into the hands of despots and as an excuse for the loss of civil liberties. Since 9/11, evidence has come to light that contradicts that day's infamous terrorist attacks. American historian Webster Tarpley argues that this is nothing new, serious inconsistencies have been associated with terror attacks for hundreds of years throughout the Western world.

14-year old Meltem and her mother must be released from Yarl's Wood!

22-10-2007 12:54


Meltem, the 14-year old girl that wrote a letter from yarlswood 2 weeks ago has just been refused bail again. She and her mother have now been in detention for 2 months and allthough they had two sureties and are currently waiting for the outcome of their judicial review their bail application got refused again.
Cennet doesn't speak much English so 14-year old Meltem has to handle everything herself- speaking to the guards in Yarlswood, their solicitor etc.. If she stays in detention for much longer she might not be able to do her GCSEs next year.
