Cops should trust crowds - fact

18-07-2009 00:37

This is a repost of a scientific explanation why 'police kettling' is wrong, but more than that it extrapolates to why policing and government of the majority are wrong. I am effectively stealing this important article in the hope that some relevant people who don't read NS will learn from it. Humble apologies and all my respect to Michael Bond and New Scientist.

Washington & the Coup in Honduras: Here is the Evidence

17-07-2009 05:51

Soldiers entering the Presidential Palace compound, Tegucigalpa, 28 June 2009
No one doubts that the fingerprints of Washington are all over the coup d’etat against President Manuel Zelaya that began last June 28th. Nevertheless, the majority coincide in excusing the Obama Administration from any responsibility in the Honduran coup, blaming instead the lingering remains of the Bush-Cheney era and the war hawks that still pace the halls of the White House.

Updated action ideas to support Calais migrants

Information from activists on the ground in Calais points to the police preparing to destroy some or many of the ‘jungles’ housing around 1,800 migrants in Calais, this Monday 20th July or Tuesday 21st July. These ‘jungles’ are where people who have travelled across Europe wait in makeshift shelters, with little food or medical assistance, for their nightly attempts to get onto lorries making the crossing to the UK. Many of the migrants will be unaware of this threat.
