"Their Crisis - Who Pays?" - Rally Against Cuts [2]

17-06-2010 11:22

Come to a rally at College Green (outside the Council House) from 4.30pm on Tuesday 22nd June
On June 22nd there will be a budget giving more details of the government's plan for cutting the deficit. We can expect privatisation and savage cuts in jobs and services. These will have an immediate impact not only on public sector workers but on all those who depend on the services they provide. Pensions and welfare benefits will also come under attack. If there are sacrifices to be made, then let the wealthy pay, the ones who recklessly gambled and profited from the free market. This is a call for positive alternatives like investment in services, the living wage and an opportunity to rally against these damaging cuts.

Bring banners, your voices and anything else to make yourself heard!

Wikileak Case Echoes Pentagon Papers

16-06-2010 22:53

Almost four decades after Defense Department insider Daniel Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers – thus exposing the lies that led the United States into the Vietnam War – another courageous “national security leaker” has stepped forward and now is facing retaliation similar to what the U.S. government tried to inflict on Ellsberg.

Petition Against Arming Israel

16-06-2010 18:22

Ride for Palestine
Details of an online petition against arming Israel and a vintage mmotorbike ride Merseyside-London to deliver it.


I'm a member of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. I've been disturbed by the activities of the Israeli government for years. But just recently the attacks on Lebanon, Gaza and the massacre on the boat delivering aid have really made my blood boil.

So, I'm organising a petition against arming Israel and a vintage motorbike ride Southport-London to deliver it.
At the moment the petition has c. 750 signatures and five riders have already agreed to take part. All the details, link to the petition etc are at:

http://rideforpalestine.blogspot.com/

I wondered if I could ask you to support the petition, perhaps by signing it and circulating the link above. A link on a web site would be magnificent! At the moment the Liberal Democrat Friends of Palestine, the Friends of Lebanon, the Campaign Against the Arms Trade, the Liverpool Friends of Palestine and the Leeds Palestine Solidarity Campaign have all created links - as have individuals such as Labour MP Yasmin Qureshi and different branches of the Green Party such as Chiltern. The Jews for Justice for Palestinians are also establishing a link.

Bruce Burgess.

Among those who have signed the petition are:

Jill Evans MEP, Plaid Cmyru
Emiritus Professor |Peter Spufford, University of Cambridge
The Reverends H.P. Barkham, Tony Graham, Dr J. Barr, Andrew Dawson, Dave Hardman
Cllr Richard Kemp, Leader of Liberal Democrats in Local Government
Cllr Darren Johnson, Member of the London Assembly
Dr Mohamed Altawil, Palestine Trauma Centre
Dr Claudia Prestel, Reader in Mod. European and Jewish History, University of Leicester
Dr Chris Burns-Cox, Consultant Physician (retd)

Brothers-in-Arms: Capitalism and Corporate Journalism

16-06-2010 17:52

CRUSHING ECONOMICS, CHEERLEADING MEDIA AND A LOFTY DISMISSAL FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES

An essential role of corporate journalism is to shore up public confidence in an unjust, crisis-riven financial and economic system. Although plenty of gloom and doom is permitted, especially in the face of obvious crisis, the legitimacy of the system is rarely questioned.

The Digital Economy - state control of the internet

16-06-2010 17:10

The digital economy act is an important step in reining in the availability of information. A pivotal moment, just like the printing press was. The question is, will we defend what we have, or will we let it slip away into the never ending pit of commoditization?
