Halifax - Northern Towns Rally Against the Cuts

10-02-2011 23:23

This Saturday 12th February there’s a ‘Northern Towns Rally Against the Cuts’ demo in Halifax called by Calderdale Joint Trades Unions. It starts at 10.30am at Halifax Town Hall car park with a march from there to the Piece Hall – for the usual speeches no doubt, telling us just how bad the cuts are.

While it’s good that something is happening and everyone who opposes the cuts should indeed try to get along to such events, it’s important to point out that marching from A to B just isn’t going to cut it. If there really is “a mood of anger and defiance sweeping the country” as Calderdale Save Our Services claim in their leaflet for the Rally, then we need to see some of it in Calderdale, going beyond rallies, lobbies and marches to direct action, disruption and economic blockades.

Corporate complicity in Egyptian regime's crimes

10-02-2011 19:38

CSI tear gas canister used in Egypt
When the ongoing Egyptian revolution started on 25th January, a high-profile Egyptian military delegation was in the US requesting 'help' with technology to fight the 'enemies'. It turns out that a US company, with Israeli origins, had already sold Egypt new technology to monitor Internet and mobile phone traffic to crack down on protesters' communications, possibly leading to the arrest and abuse of many. Meanwhile, US-made tear gas and other anti-riot weapons were ruthlessly used against protesters in the first few days of the mass protests, resulting in many injuries and deaths. Should the multinational corporations profiting from these crimes be held responsible? Corporate Watch investigates.

Two recent books from France and England are stirring up revolutions, and it's about time.

I'll quote from them a little, because you need to know. But I am not trying to steal their sales. If you get a copy, that's a revolutionary act in itself.
