Notes to the Editor:

1.
On Monday morning, a series of actions saw the co-ordinated delivery of 'terrorist' parcels to Ministers and civil servants at 10, Downing St, New Scotland Yard, the Home Office, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Department
of the Environment and the Department of Trade and Industry. Statues of public heroes were awarded sashes of honour bearing the legend 'Terrorist'.

Activists, lawyers and members of the public from the Network against the Terrorism Act (NATTA) leafleted the Home Office and New Scotland Yard as employees arrived for work this morning.

The first section of the Act states:

(1) In this Act "terrorism" means the use or threat of action where-
(a) the action falls within subsection (2),
(b) the use or threat is designed to influence the government or to intimidate the public or a section of the public, and
(c) the use or threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause.

(2) Action falls within this subsection if it-
(a) involves serious violence against a person,
(b) involves serious damage to property,
(c) endangers a person's life, other than that of theperson committing the action,
(d) creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public, or
(e) is designed seriously to interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system.

(3) The use or threat of action falling within
subsection (2) which involves the use of firearms or explosives is terrorism whether or not subsection (1)(b) is satisfied.

The Home Secretary will have the right to proscribe organisations, which implicates members, people present at meetings addressed by members andeven those wearing clothing suggesting support for such organisations, facing up to ten years in prison.

Even support for an overseas organisation arbitrarily deemed terrorist will now be criminalised.

This definition recasts as terrorists not only Nelson Mandela and the ANC but also those who campaigned for his freedom in this country. Other newly defined terrorists would include the veal crate protestors, the Greenham women, Suffragettes, Swampy, crop pullers from the anti genetics campaign, the Chartists, Wat Tyler and the Tolpuddle Martyrs.

As well as increasing participation by the public in direct action events in the UK, there were over 60 mass protests around the world last year.

Please consider using an MP3 format for your audio files; Realplayer is focused on protecting the copyright of the producer and so does not allow the content to be downloaded and rebroadcast unless it is saved in something other than a ".ram" file; Under any circumstances the file cannot be played on anything other than Realplayer, which stinks. MP3 is a format, Realplayer is a brand.

Thanks, Walter Bundtcake III

Yes MP3 is much better. Try ripping at 48Kbps.
