05-09-2013 10:39

A careful reading of the “Left” liberals’ response to the Western-backed terror in Syria, reveals that the “Left” liberals have display a staggering level of complacency, complicity and outright hostility to the Syrian people. Representatives of the milieu of the “Left” liberals led by the like of Noam Chomsky have lost credibility.

Anarchist views on Syria

03-09-2013 11:55

Amidst all the propaganda and confusion, where can English speaking anarchists and (non-authoritarian) communists turn for news and analysis on Syria? We should be listening to our comrades in the region. Supporting the revolution in Syria does not mean supporting US intervention. Fuck Assad, Obama and all tyrants everywhere.

How the U.S. Political Left is Failing Over Syria

03-09-2013 11:07

Open cast mine in Trowell declared "invalid"

03-09-2013 10:55

PLANS for an open cast mine in Trowell have been put back after the planning application was declared "invalid".

 

UK Coal applied for permission to extract 1.275 million tonnes of coal and 250,000 tonnes of fireclay by opencasting at Shortwood Farm.

 

A decision was set to be made on the plans at a Notts County Council meeting on September 30.

But the planning department at Notts County Council found the certificate of ownership - a legal requirement accompanying planning applications - was found to contain an administrative error.
UK Coal will now have to resubmit the application and a new consultation will have to take place before a decision is made.

Sally Gill, Planning Group Manager at Notts County Council, explained: "No legal provision exists for the defective certificate of ownership to be corrected, whilst keeping the application live. So, in light of the clear legal advice we have received, we have no alternative but to invalidate the Shortwood application and return it."
