Spoof stickers against rising fares on Leeds Buses.

06-05-2009 15:46

Those pests have struck again.

After their spoof of the local paper was so well received the people behind the Yorkshire Evening Pest have responded to yet another rise in the fares on First buses by producing stickers which helpfully inform passengers of both the rise in prices and what the company really thinks of them.

Report from Tamil 'free zone', Mullaitivu District

06-05-2009 11:20

Bomber aircrafts have resumed bombing raids since 4th May, 2009. This has increased the deaths and injuries manifold. This is an added atrocity apart from mayhem caused by artillery and canon fire.
Famine is widespread. People are not eating for several days. The fainting incidents are common. Many reach the stage of stupor. If not taken any action they reach coma stage and die.

Free Hich! Day of Action: Thu 14th May

06-05-2009 10:24

Hicham Yezza
On Thu 14th May it will be exactly one year since the wrongful arrest of Hicham Yezza under the Terrorism Act. Hich was cleared of any involvement in terrorism but was immediately detained again for alleged immigration offences. The Home Office is still trying to deport Hich to Algeria. Please join us by taking whatever action you can on the anniversary of Hich’s arrest. We need to highlight the injustice and exert pressure for his release before it is too late.

Thessaloniki (15/4): Communiqué of attack against British college

05-05-2009 21:23


Thessaloniki (15/4): Communiqué of attack against British college in solidarity with G20 and Nottingham arrestees: “Return to normality will never come”

First, a short introduction. Attacks of this type (so called “camping-gas bomb” attacks, or simply “gazakia” in Greek, or like in this case, the smashing of window shops etc) have been taking place in Greece’s major cities for a while. Usual targets include banks, multinational corporations, embassies and the like. In most cases the attacks (which only cause material damage) are followed by a communiqué explaining the reasoning behind them: communiqués of this sort are most often published on indymedia or on blogs likes this one - while they are occasionally also sent to mainstream media outlets.

During the French riots of 2005, approximately 1,000 cars were burnt every night. A largely unknown fact, however, is that approximately 100 cars are burnt across the country every single night: in that sense, the French revolt didn’t start in 2005 and, most certainly, didn’t end then either. Similarly, attacks of the type described above preceded the December revolt and have, by all measuring standards, been on the increase since. What used to be attacks in the major urban centres of the country only (Athens, Thessaloniki), have now spread to somewhere between 9 and 15 cities across Greece. The type of these attacks, their targets and their communiqués vary, of course. What follows is the communiqué of the attack against a British educational institute in Thessaloniki on 15/4.
