Israeli Bomb Flights in Suffolk

It has emerged that two flights due to touch down at Prestwick on Saturday were diverted to the RAF Mildenhall military base in Suffolk. A third Atlas Air flight was believed to have landed at Prestwick. There has been no official confirmation of what was on board the planes. A spokesman for the US air force at RAF Mildenhall said two aircraft had been diverted from Prestwick. He said the Atlas cargo flights arrived late on Saturday night and would depart on Sunday. He could not comment on what was on board the planes, but said they were there to refuel and allow the crew to rest. A spokesman for Prestwick said the diversions meant that no such flights were due to land at the airport on Sunday. -BBC

Racism and Imperial Nostalgia at the BBC: an open letter to Andrew Marr

 http://leninology.blogspot.com/2006/06/wanted-loyal-natives-to-discuss-empire.html

 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/starttheweek.shtml

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY TO INTERESTED PARTIES

Open Letter to Andrew Marr, Presenter, Start the Week on Radio 4, the BBC

Dear Andrew,

This is an open letter that I am going to ask the people--many of whom are
prominent academics-- I have copied in to circulate as widely as possible,
to draw the attention of people to the egregious manner in which you dealt
with the follow-up this morning's show on 'The Legacy of Empire'. I am
appalled and shocked at your biased introduction to the evening phone-in.
You use dismissive words like 'blarney', 'aggressive', and 'too much heat'
to describe an impassioned discussion of a painful and traumatic legacy
that didn't fit the genteel upper-class British converation over 'tea and
cucumber sandwiches'model. This then set the tenor for the phone-in that
followed.

Roma Nation Day: Dig at Barriers of Racism

Of all this year's events marking
Roma Nation Day in the UK - and it was
the biggest package yet - the most poignant
for me was the sight of actor Michael Collins,
over here from Dublin for the Red Wheels
Festival, shovelling away an earth barrier at Five
Acre Farm.
