Dalai Lama becomes vegetarian again!
14-12-2005 18:35
“Lately I have turned to a vegetarian diet. Today’s youth, particularly the ones who have come from Tibet and have a refugee status must inculcate these principles for their own development and to have peace of mind. The message from mahakaruna [Sanskrit: ‘great compassion’] has clearly asked us to follow and preach love and compassion for all living beings.”After December 15, Iraq will be at mercy of US corporations

14-12-2005 17:19
Glasgow's Brand Street Immigration Centre was the target of another early morning protest today [report].
Around 30 Anarchists, Christians, Communists, Clowns, liberals, muslims, pagans, refugee support workers, socialists and people of no particular allegiance descended on Brand St at 5am with the aim of preventing a dawn raid for one day at least.
An informal candlelit vigil was held outside.
After a while, a distraction of clowns arrived and the mood lightened a little. They declared themselves to be from Elsewhere and attempted to turn themselves in for deportation to Denmark, Jamaica, any country more sane than this one [report].
Around 8.30 the protesters left, satisfied that no raids would or could take place that day.
