House of Lords Critical Mass appeal.

26-11-2008 11:00

From by brief reading of this just published judgement, and correct me if I am wrong, it would seem that the appeal has been upheld and that London CM is a customarily held procession for which prior police notification is not required.

Solihull protest against the imposition of biometric ID cards on migrants

26-11-2008 10:37

UK Border Agency Office at 41 Station Road Solihull
Yesterday Noborders Birmingham protested against the imposition of biometric ID cards at the UK Border Agency Office in Solihull. They were met by a puzzling disproportionate police response at Dominion Court, 41 Station Road, Solihull - around 12 police officers, including 3 police vans and an evidence gatherer. This may have something to do with the policing of a previous protest around the corner at Sandford House, the home office reporting centre, where hundreds of Congolese demonstrators facing mass deportation occupied the main road  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/birmingham/2007/04/368076.html

26-11-2008 03:25

Banner, you can do it too.
Larry Cox, head of Amnesty International, stood silent as a guard violently assaulted a human rights activist who asked him a question at a public gathering at the Ethical Culture Society.

The four minute Youtube video was posted at:

Common Purpose 'leadership charity' at the BBC

26-11-2008 00:41

Scoop? Hardly, but here's an interesting list of BBC Common Purpose graduates which was sent to me anonymously. It shows, if genuine, that Common Purpose has been targeting the BBC quite specifically, as I'm sure most organisations won't have such a high proportion of Common Purpose graduates. Most of these people will probably be entirely unaware of the criticism the likes of Ex-Royal Naval officer Brian Gerrish have been levelling at the charity. See if you recognise on-air staff from your BBC region.
