Downing street and Whitehall blockaded by refugees holding a 'Die In'.

We're here!
Today over 200 human rights campaigners (most of them Sudanese refugees) blockaded Downing Street and part of Whitehall to protest over government inaction over the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Many of the demonstraters carried the names of some of the estimated 300,000 people that have been murdered during the ethnic cleansing or have died as a result of it. 3,000 people are dying in the region every week, thats 52 9/11s every year!

The Police were taken completely by surprise by the action and had no choice but to let it go ahead. They were outnumbered by about 20-1. There were no arrests.

The international community could easily act to stop what is a totally preventable trajedy of biblical proportions. This would cost a fraction of the money spent murdering 100,000 civilians in Iraq. But there is no oil in Darfur is there? Read more >>

Pictures of the London Mayday PRECARITY action.

After a brief but meaningful visit to TESCOs in Hackney, a few hundred like minded individuals were herded onto the pavement outside the store and held in the sunshine for about one hour and a half. The arrests and aggressive behaviour by the Police were met by an equal amount of determination/dignity/solidarity by the protesters inside and outside of the cordon.
The demo was moved to London Fields were the party continued with the aid of the samba band.
There was more Police aggression resulting in more arrests and solidarity/resistance. Eventually the cops withdrew after an afternoon of unecessary provocation and bullying.
WELL DONE to everyone who turned out to protest, create, party and defy the intimidation.

State of the Prison System

All the world's a prison
The city's first jail was a 7-by 5-foot cage built in 1693 for the detention of miscreants. Criminals convicted of minor offenses were sentenced to banishment, branding and public whipping. Charges such as counterfeiting, treason, spying, desertion from the Army, burglary, robbery, piracy, rape, sodomy and murder were considered capital offenses, and convicts were subject to execution by hanging.
