They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
12 Jan 2008
The beginning of 2008 saw more resistance to the ongoing gentrification of Oxford. On the 4th January a sycamore, reportedly 100 years old, was occupied by a sole protester (with plenty of support from below) to prevent it being felled for the ‘redevelopment’ of Bonn Square. They have since been served with a court summons and could do with support on Monday 14th January from 10am at Oxford County Court. Meanwhile, the Westgate Partnership have been merrily chainsawing trees to make way for the Westgate expansion (which is technically different from the Bonn Square project, but linked to the West End ‘regeneration’). This is despite the fact that a public inquiry is still going on over the demolition of Abbey Place sheltered housing – a clear indication of what the developers think of the legal process. On Wednesday 9th January there was an impromptu day of action at the back of the Westgate centre where some trees had already been cut down. This protest led to the arrest of Councillor Glass Woodin and also saw one of the London Plane trees being occupied for over 24 hours. The bad weather on the 10th saw off – no pun intended – any more tree carnage. There was a protest about the Westgate expansion on Saturday 12th January which saw at least 100 people reclaiming Bonn Square. Meanwhile, Oxford County Council are meeting soon to decide whether to grant Radley Lakes Town Green status. If successful, this would prevent NPower using the lakes as a dumping ground for their waste ash. Save Radley Lakes need supporters on Monday 14th from 1:30pm at County Hall, Castle St. [ Early reports: 1 | 2 | 3 | Video ] [ Later actions: 1 (with video) | 2 ] [ Bonn Sq mass action ]

Nottingham Job Seekers To Face Lie Detectors
10 Jan 2008
From the 28th January, as part of an extended pilot scheme, residents of Nottingham will be subject to Voice Risk Analysis when telephoning to make a claim for Job Seekers’ Allowance.Voice Risk Analysis (VRA) software analyses a person’s ‘normal’ voice and flags up changes in frequency and tone characteristics which may mean the person is lying. The DWP has helped to fund a series of local pilot schemes to study the effectiveness of the technology in reducing so-called “benefit fraud” (which pales into insignificance when compared with tax evasion by the rich). Even amongst those who worry about such things, there is scepticism about this usefulness of this technology as an anti-fraud tool. Mainstream critics say that savings do not necessarily mean the software is accurately pinpointing fraudsters, arguing that genuine claimants may also be deterred from claiming when entitled to benefits.Links: Nottinghamshire Unemployed Workers Centre | Welfare Reform UK | Sheffield protest against changes to welfare | Nottingham Claimants ActionBackground Links: Nottingham Proforma for Expressions of Interest for DWP City Strategy | Strategy: Nottingham Local Area Agreement | DWP Fraud and error – Voice Risk Analysis (VRA) | DWP Press Release: Hutton announces new technology to strengthen fight against benefit fraud | TUC lies, damned lies and lie detectors: introducing lie detector tests for benefit claimants | Handard – Social Security Benefits: Lie Detectors 23 Apr 2007 : Column 928W | Government to use voice ‘lie detector’ technology to catch benefit thieves | Advanced Validation Services (AVS)

Brighton fights for right to protest
1 Jan 2008
A RIGHT to Protest demonstration is being held in central Brighton on Saturday January 19, meeting at 12 noon in Churchill Square.The focus will particularly be on recent police repression at the EDO Brighton bomb factory. There have been 15 arrests since August for singing, shouting and generally expressing opinions about the presence of an arms factory in the community.Local people in Brighton have been campaigning for the last three and a half years against a bomb factory in their back yard. EDO MBM make componants that are used in weapons deployed against the people of Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine.Recently at the weekly noise demos at the factory police have been using archaic local by-laws to suppress people expressing their thoughts and feelings at the local weapons manufacturers.In October five people were arrested for singing karaoke badly outside EDO MBM, they were hauled off into a police van after a particularly bad rendition of “We are the Champions”. Three were arrested under Section 235 of the Local Government Act (brought in for bad buskers and street drunks) while two were arrested for breach of Section 14.Other people have faced arrest for blowing an air horn and plugging in a PA. The town demo is aimed to show support for these people and also to safeguard the hard won rights to freedom of opinion and freedom of assembly that are being taken away at an alarming rate in this country. Bring banners, drums, air horns and voices.

rampART social centre farewell
28 Dec 2007
The rampART social center is finally facing eviction after almost 4 years of providing a non-commercial venue for a wide range of activities. On the 12th of December, the social center and the squatted houses in the street were all served with notice of court proceedings for repossession. On the 20th, the case was heard and the rampART lost. The possession order will be granted on the 3rd of January 2008. There have been various meetings to plan what happens next and to organise opening a new space. There is also an assembly on the 6th Jan, to discuss opening more london social centers generally and hopefully form a london wide social centers collective to make this happen. The rampART collective will also be meeting again at 6pm Monday 31st prior to the what might be the last big event at the social center, the ‘Fuck the Bailiffs, Smash the Borders!’ rampART/noborders benefit bash! (NYE from 8pm till very late).Links: rampART losses in court | rampART losses possesion case but buys two more weeks | rampART gets eviction papers | Developers make their move on Rampart StreetBackground : Developments at rampART | The rampART and its evolution

Foie Gras Protest Silenced For Using Megaphone
22 Dec 2007
Animal rights activists in Nottingham campaigning against the sale of Foie Gras in the city have found themselves the targets of police repression. On the evening of Friday December 14, campaigners were told that they could not use a megaphone, with the police citing Section 14 of the Public Order Act 1986 as their basis for this prohibition.The heavy-handed police response is indicative of a national trend towards increasingly repressive policing of animal rights protests and a a more general limitation on the right to protest.Newswire: Foie Gras protests continue in spite of increased pressure from police | Foie gras day of action | Foie Gras Not Fair to the Goose | Kick foie gras out of NottinghamLinks: Nottingham Animal Rights | Wikipedia on Foie Gras | Banfoiegras.org | Freedom to Protest

17 Dec 2007
On Tuesday 18/12/07. activists from the No Borders Network, marked UN International Migrant’s Day, by blockading immigration reporting centres in Glasgow, Bristol, Newcastle and Portsmouth. Arriving at the centres in the early hours of the morning, the activists aimed to prevent Immigration Enforcement Officers from staging dawn raids, in which families are often rounded up in preparation for removal to countries from which they have been forced to flee.In Bristol, activists arrived in time to lock onto vehicles, and a police officer wasoverheard confirming that a dawn raid had been planned.In Portsmouth, activists were locked onto the swing barrier and gates by 4.30am and believe that another dawn raid from that site was thwarted. Glasgow activists were in place by 5.30am when Immigration Enforcement Officers arrived and were unable to leave the car park with their vehicles due to a tripod, and people d-locked to the gates. Newcastle activists dressed in Santa outfits locked onto the gates and used arm tubes to prevent vehicles from leaving the car parks. 2 of the Glasgow activists were cut free from their D-locks and arrested, whilst a tripod continued to ensure that vehicles could not leave the car park. Activists at the other sites were able to leave without any arrests taking place.In Manchester, the local Immigration Reporting Centre Dallas Court had its gates locked with a motorcycle chain, and a banner reading “Caution snatch squads ? we are watching you? was hung. Later, at 10 am, the Home Office in Marsham Street SW1, London was disrupted agter activists blocked the entrance and unfurled a large banner declaring “No Child is Illegal: Child Deportation is a Crime”.

Broxtowe BNP Councillor Expelled From Party
11 Dec 2007
Broxtowe BNP councillor Sadie Graham appears to have been expelled from the party for setting up a “treasonous” blog, along with the party’s Head of Administration, Kenny Smith. The blog, containing materials from anti-fascist organisations, called for the removal of Mark Collett, the party’s Head of Publicity.After a Stasi-like operation in which the BNPs ‘Intelligence Department’ (fronted by an ex-South African police official) recorded and spied on telephone calls of party members, stories are circulating on Nazi webforums that five BNP security entered Graham’s house and ransacked it looking for further evidence.This is further bad news for the beleaguered fascist party who are already facing serious internal divisions and a revived militant anti-fascist movement.Features: Anti-fascists successfully blockade BNP meeting venue | BNP wins seat in BroxtoweNewswire: Sadie Graham Expelled from BNP! | 2nd Anniversarry of mums brutal murder by Kirkby Notts”freeSpeech”BNPcandidate | Nott’s group go to BNP Conferance | Sadie Graham Shoots StraightLinks: Lancaster UAF | Antifa (UK)

Nottingham Joins Worldwide Climate Action Call
9 Dec 2007
While in London and Glasgow over 10.0000 climate campaigners took to the streets to take part in marches over the weekend, in Nottingham, many people took to the delight of the East Midlands Vegan Festival and Sumac Crafts Fair. While these events have a strong social aspect, especially during these dark winter days, there are strong links with those who braved the bad weather to call for climate justice.Campaigners organising the annual Vegan Festival pointed out that a massive proportion of climate change is caused by livestock farming and the production of meat/dairy products. They urged world leaders in Bali, attending the 2007 United Nations Climate Change Conference, “to take the urgent action needed to prevent the catastrophic destabilisation of global climate”. Protests calling upon the world leaders for action on climate change have taken place across the world. The last week has seen many actions across the UK on various aspects of the climate change agenda.Audio: Collected Interviews about the Vegan Festival.

Tasers in Nottingham
5 Dec 2007
On Tuesday November 27, Nottinghamshire Police used a Taser stun gun on a man in Beeston. Although it has attracted only limited interest, it could be an important development. Tasers have recently been introduced to the police arsenal in the UK, having been widely used by police in the US and Canada for some time. This happened with minimal public debate, despite increasing concerns about their use across North America. Currently restricted to armed response officers there are calls from both senior and rank and file police officers for their use to be greatly expanded. They certainly aren?t going to go away any time soonAccording to the Evening Post, Notts police were called to reports of a man acting erratically outside the Natwest on High Road, Beeston at 11.30am. The Post also indicates that there was a suggestion the man might have been carrying a firearm, however it is now clear the man did not have a gun and there is little in the article to indicate on what basis such suspicions might have arisen. The various eyewitness reports certainly indicate erratic behaviour, but if anything make the presence of a gun seem unlikely. One account has the man shouting, ?Call the police,? while another has him pushing people about threatening to ?knock you out.? Hardly behaviour which would indicate he was armed.Links: Tasers in Nottingham | Police taser diabetic in a fit,when they should be arresting terror oil corprats | Canada Probes Taser After Another Death | USA - anotherone killed by police using “less” lethal taser | TASER GUNS BY UK POLICE ,HAVE BEEN CAUSING CONTROVERSY IN AMERICA | Taser?s don?t kill, Excited Delirium does!

Indian court orders ‘arrest without bail’ of Dutch activists
4 Dec 2007
A court in Bangalore has issued an order for the ‘arrest without the possibility of bail’ of seven campaigners over their websites postings about labour conditions of an Indian supplier of fashion label G-Star. The activists are from the Clean Clothes Campaign and the India Committee of the Netherlands; the director of their Netherlands based ISP, Antenna, is included.The case could have implications for activists posting anything on the web, with the court using the Convention on Cyber Crime to call for extradition. It all happens with the backdrop of the continuing campaign about labour conditions and particularly the huge number of child workers in India coming up against the religion of ‘free trade’.The case has been running for some time now. As the legal threats get worse the campaign are asking for solidarity. As G-Star is the only remaining buyer from the jeans manufacturer at which the CCC and ICN have highlighted the labour rights violations they are asking people to make demands of them listing things you can do [cleanclothes.org]. In the UK No Sweat! have called a picket of G-star [nosweat.org] focusing on their Covent Garden store. There are lots of outlets around on their store locator [g-star.com].

Calendar Of Resistance Launched
3 Dec 2007
Nerve magazine introduces Liverpool?s Capital of Culture year with a Merseyside Resistance Calendar 2008.The calendar records and celebrates the region?s rich tradition of radicalism and dissent. History is for the most part written by and for the rich and powerful and ?official? histories of Liverpool are no exception. But an essential part of our history are those people and groups who put themselves on the line for their communities and what they believed in and who ?had a go? without waiting for society?s approval.

Heavy Handed Police Condemned Over Peaceful Protest
3 Dec 2007
Nottinghamshire Police have been condemned for their heavy handed dealing with a peaceful protest which took place at Nottingham University. The protest, which was organized by students, occurred outside the Hallward Library on the University Park Campus, to raise awareness about the Israeli West Bank barrier, aka ‘the wall’. A mock wall was constructed and spray-painted with slogans and images.After Nottingham Uni security failed to ‘apprehend’ the situation, the police were called. This resulted in the threat of arrest to a number of students. For ‘breach of the peace’, ‘assaulting a police officer’, ‘filming a police officer’(!), obstructing a police officer and obstruction of the highway. One student was arrested to ‘apprehend a breach of the peace’. The wall was dismantled (rather symbolic given the context) and moved on after about half an hour.Links: Arrest at Nottingham Uni over Palestine Protest | Notts Indymedia Palestine pageAudio: This Week In Palestine ?

“No Tesco’s” campaigners march on Mill Road
24 Nov 2007
Several hundred people (estimates range from 250 to 800) marched down Mill Road in Cambridge today to show their opposition to Tesco’s plans to open an “Express” store. Many sent reports on the event:Photos and short report by PoonPhotos by manos | beverley | uugPhotos and extensive comment on the event by Camera Boy According to the campaign over 4000 people have signed a petition, and a remarkable 1100 people sent in written objections to the City Council regarding Tesco’s planning applications. A poll in the local Cambridge Evening News suggests 75% of people across the city are opposed to the proposed increase in Tesco’s dominant position in Cambridge. The multinational giant already controls 51% of the grocery market here – putting us in the top 10 Tesco-dominated places in the UK. According to a recent Competition Commission report such dominance – surprise, surprise – has a negative impact on the consumer.Older feature | http://www.nomillroadtesco.org/ | Main campaign post with many useful links | Tescopoly

Posties Consider Ballot Result
23 Nov 2007
This summer and autumn, Merseyside postal workers have been on the front line of action against Royal Mail’s proposed new contracts, which threaten jobs, pensions and working conditions, whilst opening the door to a sell-off of the postal service. Now they’ve seen the mixed results of the ballot on the Communication Workers Union’s sell-out agreement, and are pondering their next move.

Rossport: Another Season of Resistance
21 Nov 2007
Since 2000 the small rural community of Rossport, County Mayo, Ireland have been engaged in an epic battle trying to prevent Shell from building a potentially devastating onshore gas refinery and high pressure pipeline in their remote and environmentally sensitive region. Despite Shell?s status as one of the world?s largest multinationals and it?s enjoyment of the full support of the Irish state, the spirited and effective resistance of the local community means that four years after the refinery was intended to be fully operational, the project is still in its infancy.For many different reasons the struggle is truly inspiring. The Shell to Sea campaign is fought on a multitude of levels, from the international political arena, to on the ground at the daily picket at the proposed refinery site. It has been an eventful seven years and this autumn has been no exception. Over the past few months direct action against the development has included national days of action attended by hundreds of people from around Ireland, community led direct action preventing preparatory pipeline work and regular blockading of trucks entering the refinery site by those attending the daily picket. Also during this period, campaigners were ordered to leave the two year old Rossport Solidarity Camp. Meanwhile the project has met renewed opposition from NGO?s, including the Irish National Trust, who recently spoke out publicly against the project and outlined their intention to challenge its legitimacy in the European courts.And of course, where there is resistance, repression follows shortly after. The local court sessions have become increasingly dominated by Shell to Sea cases and protesters have been subject to dubious convictions and excessively harsh sentences, including one woman being sentenced to three months in prison for her part in a peaceful lock-on blockade. As winter sets in resistance continues.

Starbucks Not Welcome At University
20 Nov 2007
Nottingham university students have been campaigning tirelessly over the last few weeks to get their University to get Starbucks off campus, and stop them selling their unethical beverages in the Hallward Library. Students were shocked when, a few weeks ago, their caf in the main library on campus suddenly started serving Starbucks coffee. In a move that has upset a large part of the student body the university decided to change coffee supplier without any sort of student consultation and now the students are up in arms.For the last two weeks students have manned an ?anti-Starbucks? stall outside the Hallward Library where the Starbucks coffee is being served (at nearly double its pre-Starbucks price). The movement against the corporatisation of our educational facilities has been swift; nearly 700 people have joined the Facebook group against Starbucks, hundreds of people have signed the petition and loads of cups of tea and coffee have been sold from a makehift stall outside the library to students who don?t want to pay 1.45 for a coffee.Notts: Telling Starbucks to ‘Buck Off’ at Nottingham Uni. | Amnesty Protest in Nottingham City Centre – Close Guantanamo Bay [Please] | Starbucks national day of action, 18th AugustUK: Whitechapel Knees Up against Starbucks | Sheffield IWW - Starbucks skanked to death | Anti-Starbucks picket in Cardiff | Chiapas Solidarity picket of Starbuck, EdinburghLinks: IWW Starbucks Workers Union | Boycott Starbucks | Starbucks continues to Greenwash with Weak Environmental Policy | Starbucks Social Responsibility Newsletter

Preserving disorder: freedom to protest and the future of SOCPA
15 Nov 2007
The Home Office has recently published a consultation paper which hints at what was really meant by Gordon Brown’s promise to look again at the law which restricts demonstrations near parliament, far from repealing this legislation the consultation indicates that the government wants to extend the restrictions on demonstrations to cover the whole country.The current law on demonstrations around parliament bans spontaneous protests, requiring demonstrators to seek advance police permission, which allows the police to impose arbitrary limits on numbers and effectively act as political censors. See a timeline of its effects.A public meeting challenging the new proposal will be held at the London School of Economics on the 2nd December.Links: SOCPA the movie | ASBOwatch | Repeal SOCPA | State of Emergency | the Consultation Document | SOCPA topic page

Developments at rampART
12 Nov 2007
The rampART social center in East London has been open for over three and a half years, hosting thousands of meetings, screenings, performances, exhibitions and benefit gigs. During that period the building and resources have steady evolved to adapt the demands of it’s users. Now gentrification approaches with property developers planning to partially demolish the squatted houses next to the social center and build three new properties at the back. The rampART itself is under no immediate threat and regular activities continue as normal with Food Not Bombs, Rhythms Of Resistance, Radical Theory Group, Dissident Island Radio, WANC, and a new homeopathy clinic among the regular users. Coming up are a benefit for ‘Papers For All’ and an indymedia training session.

Nottingham Fighting Post Office Closures
3 Nov 2007
Demonstrations have been held this week in Carrington to save the local post office from closure. In the last fortnight, the Save Carrington Post Office Action Group has emerged and has been campaigning to keep the Carrington Post Office [CPO] open. They have urged people in the CPO’s catchment area to write letters to the Post Office and Post Watch, asking for the CPO to be considered for further review after the public consultation. The action group has also delivered over 4,000 leaflets and its petition has collected 2000 signatures in just two weeks. In addition to carrying out its own branch assessment report, the group held a couple of demonstrations this week.Futhermore, a wheelchair-using customer of the Post Office, attempted to travel to the two alternative post offices as suggested by the Post Office to see how accessible they really are. Doreen Sim, who has used CPO twice a week for the last twenty years to pay her bills and collect her pension, says the current journey takes her just 5 minutes from her home along all level terrain and wide pavements…Articles: Save Carrington Post Office Demo Pictures (Saturday) | Save Carrington Post Office Demo Pictures (Tuesday) | Save Carrington Post Office!Links: Closure of Lenton Post Office | Post Office closure list of 180 is released | MPs raise Post Office closure doubts | Ministers accused as 2,500 Post Office closures confirmed | Post office closure response: services must be maintained for the most vulnerable
