Jacqui Smith versus Justice Mitting
04-03-2009 10:56
Last week five men under bail conditions facing deportation back to Algeria and Jordan had their cases heard in SIAC. The judge decided to adjourn and to let the men stay out on bail. Jacqui Smith over ruled the judge and arrested them all that night-and a further hearing the following morning saw them released. How much did that cost in SIAC? Thousands. She had authorised a day in SIAC herself-if it had gone her way with the men's detention-all well and good. But because the judge did not decide as she had hoped-she arrested them anyway.US FEMA Camps

Write to your MP -
http://www.WriteToThem.com makes it very easy - and tell him or her that you REFUSE CONSENT to having your information shared under any 'INFORMATION SHARING ORDER', and ask him or her to vote to have CLAUSE 152 removed entirely from the CORONERS AND JUSTICE BILL. Clause 152 of the Coroners and Justice Bill - currently being debated by the UK Parliament - would allow any Minister by order to take any information gathered for one purpose from anywhere, and use it for any other purpose.

Environmental silver lining in economic crisis as energy demand plummets
03-03-2009 23:32
Global energy consumption dropped last year for the first time since 1983. It would be nice to think that was down to conservation efforts in attempt to mitigate against climate change but really our thanks should go to those who have bought the worlds economy to a stand still. It's interesting that the recession is currently doing more to curb green house gas emissions than any international climate change treaty has yet to manage.Full article | 1 addition | 1 comment
