Non Commercial House is still here!

26-11-2009 12:08

NCH Front
Non Commercial House is a squatted autonomous FreeShop space on 165 Commercial Street, London. The Corporation of London (The city of london council that owns the building, booooh) want us out, so they took us to court and won. Of course, they haven't got any plan with the building and will probably let it rot for another couple of years... But we resisted the first eviction and we are still here and we are planning to make the best use of the space until the last hour we have it!!

Are There Pigs Behind The Flu?

26-11-2009 10:56

Behind the current panic about swine-flu may be one of the most audacious pharmaceutical profit scams of all times, a scam that is earning billions of dollars to those marketing the magic anti-flu serum for which people queue up these days.
This marketing coup might be just as brazen as the one that sold the United States and its allies on going to war in Iraq.

Merseyside BNP show themselves up as liars and hypocrites

26-11-2009 02:22

Recently, I recounted how Peter and Andrew Tierney of Merseyside BNP attempted to intimidate a group of antifascists who had just been delivering leaflets in Halewood. As in all other situations, the BNP have been quick to twist the story and claim victimhood. However, this time their spin only serves to expose them as liars and hypocrites as well as fascist thugs.

Dancing on a Mass Grave - Oliver Kamm of The Times Smears Media Lens

25-11-2009 22:19

One of our most relentless critics is Oliver Kamm, leader writer and blogger at The Times. Kamm joined the paper in 2008 having been an investment banker and co-founder of a hedge fund. In a 2006 blog, Kamm described us as “a shrill group of malcontents”, an “aggressively simple-minded lobby” guilty of "unprofessional and often comically inept exegesis" whose approach “demeans public life”. An impressive claim to make about one writer living off donations, one writer working in his spare time after finishing full-time work, and a virtually unpaid webmaster. David Cromwell, Kamm added, is “an ignoramus”.

Invitation to protest against junta’s planned sham 2010 election

25-11-2009 19:06

“If this country is to achieve genuine democracy, the result of the elections of 1990 must be recognized. This is something we cannot abandon. It will be to the detriment of our country if after an election has been held the results are not honoured and we do not resist attempts to trivialise it.” Aung San Suu Kyi.
