Another Barclays Demo Day in London

15-08-2008 02:37

What shall we do today? Barclays demos! We decided to meet at Goldman Sachs on Fleet Street today for a couple of Barclays demos, because the Goldman Sach's security guards are the tetchiest people in the world. They were scurrying around looking anxious that a demonstration might just kick off. We had no intention of demonstrating at Goldman Sachs today, but they are a scummy company and we like the idea of regularly meeting outside their office just to get their pulses racing. This day was, yet again, all about Barclays. Not only are Barclays the biggest shareholder in HLS with $8m of shares, but they are a huge investor in NYSE (HLS share traders) as well.

Hamas Blames Israeli Collaborators for Rockets

15-08-2008 01:53

Israel has a long history of infiltrating Arab organizations, and using them to commit false flag attacks, intended to provide a convenient justification for planned Israeli aggression. This seem no different, and Israel's current government represent those who rejected "Disengagement", even though it effectively turned Gaza into the world's largest Concentration Camp.

They've planned a reoccupation for years now, but the pressure of the international community, and this cease-fire stand in their way.

The Italian Government reacted angrily at a report in Famiglia Cristiana, a Catholic magazine that Fascism was returning under another guise. The Vatican also distanced itself from the report. Antonio Sciortino, Director of the Paulist weekly said he was surprised at the reactions because every citizen should be allowed to assess what the government does “In a normal country” he added “This is part of the free exchange of opinions”

Dan has had the news that hopefully in 5 weeks he will be moved to HMP Winchester for the start of the trial (which is not essential that he goes to). He will then stay at HMP Winchester for the remainder of his prison sentence, which is brilliant considering HMP Exeter is at least 150 miles from any of his friends and family.
