Three more restaurants selling foie gras in the Midlands - Please contact

The delicacy of despair Foie gras is the pathological liver of a bird suffering from hepatic steatosis. Diarrhoea, panting, walking difficulties, lesions and inflammations of the neck are daily realities for birds raised to produce the disgusting 'delicacy' that is foie gras. Please ask the restaurants below to remove this barbaric product from their in-house menus.

Video and photo report from the Tory Party Conference protest

On Sunday 3rd October, around 6000 people gathered to protest against the cuts planned by the Tory government at their party conference in Birmingham. The entire area around the ICC (International Convention Centre) became an exclusion zone with 15ft high metal barriers erected. West Midlands police had originally agreed that the march organised by the Right to Work campaign could go ahead, but soon reneged on their promise. On the day the march was of a standard A to B affair: colourful banners, a variety of blocs from different unions, but it took a ramshackle route through Birmingham city centre's side streets, resembling a tour of the 'city living' upmarket apartments more than a visible and vocal protest march. It was obvious to all present that political manoeuvring had taken place to minimise the political efficacy and visibility of the march. This was not helped by the Right to Work campaign stewards 'liaising' with West Midlands police to compromise protesters who identified themselves as anarchists. Chris Banbury, an SWP member and RTW steward allegedly threatened protesters holding a banner with 'arrest' if they did not move from the front of the march.

What now? Beyond the CPC, a look at what went wrong.

Ok, so we are back home now, bruised but far from beaten, obviously there were some rather glaring failures of the Unauthorised March which we will cover first. Then we will move onto post march actions and how we can look at future resistance in our communities.
