South Wales Anarchists call for abolition of police!

16-02-2009 18:15

South Wales police are demanding even more money from council taxpayers, threatening to cut policing services if they don't get what they want. Little do the rozzers realise that most people would probably welcome less bobbies driving around our streets like loonies, shooting pensioners with tasers, harrassing people, systematically abusing their excessive power. Let's get rid of them!

A police spokesperson said: "the specially trained officers made the judgement, in order to protect the life of the man, that the use of Taser was the safest and most appropriate option."

Copyright, New Zealand, and the Pirate's Bay

16-02-2009 12:28

As is so frequent on the web, the whole internet is a-buzz with copyright stories. The two which seem to be creating the most buzz at the moment are the story that New Zealand has buckled to pressure from American copyright holders to implement a law which punishes people for being ACUSED of copyright infringement - without the need to prove the claims, and the story that the people behind the Pirate's Bay website are in court to defend themselves for claims of copyright infringement.

So, how did we get here? And why does it matter?

Useful photos for terrorists from New Scotland Yard

16-02-2009 12:14

Any buddying terrorists might find some of these photos useful for future operations. I've got no idea how but it's obviously possible as a new law has been created just to deal with the threat.

Yahya al Faifi Must Stay in the UK

Lobby of the Home Secretary
Thursday 19th February 2:00pm
Home Office
2 Marsham Street
London
SW1P 4DF
(Tubes: St James Park, Millbank and Westminster)

Yahya al Faifi, a very brave and self-sacrificing trade unionist - and a deeply committed socialist - is facing deportation back to a tyranny in Saudi Arabia that regularly tortures and "disappears" dissidents. On 12 February, he received a rejection letter for his appeal against the refusal of his asylum claim appeal. Now, he and his family are in imminent danger of deportation from Britain.

This will be a labour and trade union movement event with banners, large numbers and as wide representation as possible.
