Police powers finally kettled by High Court
Wed 19 Jun 2013 01:05 pm filed by admin - United Kingdom

By Netpol
For years it has been common practice for protesters held in a kettle (police containment) to be forced to submit to police filming and/or provide their details as a condition of leaving. There have been countless incidents in which protesters who have tried (lawfully) to refuse these demands have been threatened with arrest, or told they could not leave the kettle.

Longest open mic session planned for Limerick
Wed 19 Jun 2013 11:48 am filed by admin - Events

A day long poetry open mike celebration of the White House' consecutive  500 weeks of poetry sessions starts at 10.30 am on 19th June 2013.  This will be with your help  the longest open mic session ever held in  Ireland  or in the world for that matter. It will go on just like any  Wednesday night except that you can read as long as you like and as much as you want and enjoy.  The greater the number of poems on the day the  better so perhaps there is a greater need for  short poems  and limericks.

You are all Eichmanns. We are free.
Mon 17 Jun 2013 02:10 pm filed by admin - Human Rights, International

Letter to all the prison guards, other prison workers and all the cops. Partly written in a London police cell during the Stop G8 week, where police repression was at its highest

To all the prison guards, other prison workers and all the cops.

Since I'm trying not to talk to you, I'll write you this letter 'to have a chat'. I've seen several of you uniforms walking around here, all pretending to be busy with 'making London a safer place', or whatever your propaganda slogan might be. Some of you pretend to be nice, others pretend to be not. I don't really care. You're all wearing the same uniform, you're all working on the same project: oppressing those who do not meet up white heterosexual European male standards. So whether you do it in a nice looking way or not, you're all bastards for making yourself compliance to the crimes of the state and the capital you're protecting. I look at each of you in the same way. But there is one thing that keeps floating through my mind. And that is a question I would love to ask each one of you personally, if I didn't have anything better to do: do you actually like your job? Are you happy with what you're doing – that is, do you morally agree with the state paying you to protect the murderers, polluters and slave traders and to beat up those who rise against the machine? I mean, you are the arms and the shield of the machine – do you like taking up that role?

Anti-Surveillance Campaigners reject government's Orwellian 'surveillance by consent'
Fri 7 Jun 2013 01:56 pm filed by admin - Human Rights, International, United Kingdom

On 8th June anti-surveillance campaigners around the world will issue a mass “we do not consent” on 1984 Action Day.
This week the UK Home Office published its revised Surveillance Camera Code of Practice [1] following a brief consultation. Despite criticism from both anti-surveillance campaigners and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) the Code still contains the Orwellian concept of 'surveillance by consent'. Amazingly this new concept requires no actual consent, and no choice needs to be given to those who are surveilled. Instead the ticking of a 12-stage checklist, containing buzzwords such as 'transparency' and 'accountability', is enough to fulfil 'surveillance by consent'.

Pro-Fracking Spin on Public Radio
Tue 4 Jun 2013 03:01 pm filed by admin - Environment, International

Bradley Manning court martial begins amid hypocrisy
Mon 3 Jun 2013 11:40 am filed by admin - International

By Gary Younge
“I want people to see the truth ... regardless of who they are. Because without information, you cannot make informed decisions as a public.”
In 2009 the American ambassador to Tunisia spent the evening at the home of Mohamed Sakher el-Materi, the President’s son-in-law. By any standards the dinner was lavish — yogurt and ice cream were flown in from St. Tropez — and the home was opulent. In a cable, made public by WikiLeaks, the diplomat wrote, “The house was recently renovated and includes an infinity pool ... there are ancient artefacts everywhere: Roman columns, frescos and even a lion’s head from which water pours into the pool. Mr. Materi insisted the pieces are real.” By Tunisian standards it was particularly obscene.
