Catalysing event which starts of the Rise of the BNP?

17-03-2009 19:03

The CPS drops charges on Nathan Draper who was charged racial harassment against a group of Muslims protesting against an army parade in Luton last week.
Meanwhile, those on the left may want to appreciate the significance of the fact that this protest happened in Luton. Not lost on many people who have a non-conciliatory attitude towards the UK-resident Muslim population is that Luton was where the 4 alleged 7/7 bombers allegedly embarked upon a train into central London and carry out major loss of life (the follwoing suggest otherwise btw:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpAvVv6DPyQ&feature=channel_page ).
The facebook support campaign for Nathan Draper refers to the group of muslims who protested against the troop parade as the 'Luton Taliban':

Teaching the High Court Australia, the Rule of Law and basic Human Rights: when

Teaching the High Court Australia, the Rule of Law and basic Human Rights: when is Ignorance NOT an excuse?

The article demonstrates the stranglehold lawyers have on the media. We make Judges out of these people! No wonder the country is in a mess. Lawyers refuse to accept HREOA1986 as law, because it makes their monopoly profession, an illegal one, and without discrimination, anyone can be a lawyer/advocate.

Combine it with our Notice of a Constitutional Matter, Writ of Mandamus, Lets see if we cant celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the year that Australians get confirmation of their already passed and underused Bill of Rights

Abolish Immigration Prisons Picket- 21 March, Edinburgh

13-03-2009 23:04

No one should be imprisoned for trying to seek a better life for themselves and their families. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the circumstances under which people are held are scandalously poor, and private companies like G4S profit from human suffering.
