OK given to nuclear power As the government gives the go-ahead for a new generation of nuclear power, Jim Duffy of Stop Hinkley writes; "There are a host of reasons to challenge the nuclear policy statement from our simply not needing nuclear power to the undemocratic and superficial planning system that is being foisted on us. And we call for a public inquiry into the Justification issue through which nuclear new build and its health effects should be thoroughly scrutinised. A truly independent examination of the local effects of radiation should be enough to scupper the nuclear project. Ed Milliband cannot claim to have that independence. ... There are several conditions upon which new nuclear pivots. Resolving the thorny nuclear waste problem is one and looks nowhere near resolution. The concerned public should be confident there are several fronts where new nuclear power is weak and can be challenged."

After supposedly being refused permission of march in Bristol, the closest to the West country the far-right group came was EDL's Welsh branch, the WDL, who made plans for marches in Swasea and Newport. Meanwhile the EDL planned a march in Leeds. Here is an update. anti-BNP writes: First off, the EDL announced a demo is Swansea on the 17th October. About 60 people turned up to support the WDL - far less than they had expected. Opposing them were 200 anti-fascist protesters. The police arrested one WDL supporter for racially aggravated public order offence and the usual crowd of skinheads doing Nazi salutes appeared in support of the Swansea demo. The EDL claim they are not a racist organisation. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/south_west/831...3.stmFollowing this disterous turn-out, the WDL moved to cancel the Newport demo on the 24th. Anti-fascist protesters gathered anyway, should the WDL have tried to pull a fast one. Around 600 turned up to oppose the WDL; "WALES IS now an E/WDL-free zone" declared Socialist Party member and Unite convenor Rob Williams as over 600 people defied the attempt of the English/Welsh Defence League to spread their racist poison in Newport. After being marched out of Swansea the previous week the EDL did not even dare show their faces in Newport last Saturday as the city's John Frost Square filled up with anti-racist protesters. http://www.socialistparty.org.uk/articles/8291 Full Article How To Contribute Articles - A Brief Guide | Publish an Article/Event | Help Guide | Calendar | Donate | Indycycle |

Four People, including one from the South West, were interviewed under Terror act: Pre-emptive arrests about climate swoop.
Jack Sheppard writes:
I'm too tired to write a separate article but one additional quote from the coppers who interviewed us: "95% of people we stop under this legislation aren't terrorists". This shouldn't make people afraid of travelling to Copenhagen - or any other international mobilisation - but any travel plans should take this into consideration.
