Birmingham Anti-Election Campaign

12-05-2010 16:20

As is the tradition in Birmingham, every election is met with opposition. With all three main parties offering us cuts in services, privatisation, job losses and wage cuts the message that 'Voting Changes Nothing' was even more self evident. Along many of the arterial routes into Birmingham, anti-election boards were hoisted up lamp posts not only encouraging people not to vote but promoting ongoing resistance to our so-called 'leaders'. Responses from the public as they went up were all positive and with the exception of one set of boards they all stayed up....and might be left up ready for the next election after the Con-Lib pact falls to pieces.

Who is the real David Cameron?

11-05-2010 20:16

..just call me Dave!
As David Cameron becomes the UK's youngest prime minister since Lord Liverpool in 1812, the Tories' heir to Blair can honestly be said to have had a seamless rise to office, escaping any kind of serious scrutiny into his background except at the margins. Who is the real David Cameron?

Missed Appointments: The Nigerian prince and the UK failed immigration system

06-05-2010 00:43

Prince Bakare and his pegnant wife in Nigeria

Last February The Independent ran a story about a Nigerian prince who had suffered prolonged mistreatment in UK detention centres to the extent that he allegedly "begged" the Home Office to return him back home, where he had suffered gunshot wounds and beatings at the hands of his torturers. The article by Robert Verkaik, however, omitted important details of the systematic failures of the UK Border Agency and G4S, despite swathes of evidence sent to the paper's Home Affairs editor by Prince Ademola Babatunde Bakare via his supporters. Without the details, the article almost rendered him “a fussy prince moaning about not being looked after,” as one of his visitors put it. The documents have since been passed to Corporate Watch and Mr Bakare has left the country with serious medical conditions resulting from the systematic negligence he received in detention. Here is the full story.
