HIGH COURT JUDGE CONDEMNS ARMS COMPANY’S LEGAL TACTICS

On Thursday 23rd March 2006 a High Court Judge handed
down a damning judgement against an arms company. He
struck out an interim injunction against remaining
defendants in the controversial harassment injunction
case brought against anti-war protesters in Brighton
by arms manufacturers EDO MBM Technology Ltd.

The case has been continuing in the High Court for
nearly a year without reaching a full trial despite an
court order that a speedy trial should be prepared
for because of ‘human rights implications’.
‘The blame for loss of the trial date in my view
undoubtedly lies with the claimants’ says Judge
Walker. Read more >>

Three day sit-in outside parliament next week.

Eighty or more Iranian asylum seekers' sit-in will be staging a three days sit-in in London to protest against the Home Office's asylum laws. The protest begins on the 27th and end on the 29th in front of parliament and they will attend everyday from 8am-6pm.

Thousands of asylum seekers who have fled the Islamic regime of Iran and have come to Britain are faced with appalling and inhumane conditions. Many have either been refused asylum and issued removal orders or are in the precarious situation of waiting. An illegal, unsafe and unprotected life has been imposed on many of them. Read more >>

Legal action warning to Crossrail-hole-Minister Alistair Darling re cash

Contrary to the 'popular expectation' that the latest plethora of evidence of sleaze against Tony Blair's regime both as the occupant at No 10 Downing Street as well as the leader of the Blaired Party - will shame him and his regime into submission to the expectation for decency in public life, all indications point to the opposite direction. That so long as they can do it they holders of public offices will remain prone to sleaze and undemocratic and unethical behaviour. Read more >>

Legal grounds against Crossrail promoters - 1st summary

As the battle against the gentrification of parts of the East End of London goes on, the main cosy establishment of 'civil liberty' 'human rights' professionals are taking it easy. There is no evidence that they are concerned about the destruction of communities that the Blair regime is carrying out across the inner cities. The Khoodeelaar! Campaign has today published the first of a series of legal action gerund which will be used to mount the campaign in courts. This is in the context of the absence of any evidence that any of the so-called opposition prayers seeking election to Tower Hamkest Council is going to make any difference at all. The people will have to defend the community from the Crssrail-hole-Tower Hamlets Coucnil attacks Read more >>

That it should come to this … fear and loathing on the swp march

should’ve known, I really should. I mean when it comes to cynical, piss taking of this merry band of useless marching muppets I’m the worst offender… but somehow, well the glorious events taking place in France, the line of mounted riot cops I saw leaving Islington nick on my way there, well it got my blood running, got my hopes up that this day would be more than the usual impotent trot through London, that perhaps, just perhaps this would be the day that something might happen.
