Here's an excerpt from the Schnews weekly freesheet, no.696, on the farcical arrest of 2 of the Bristol EDO Decommissioners, and 1 other from Brighton, at the Target Brimar public protest near Oldham on 17 October. Proof again of Brighton's cops desperation to get a conviction, any conviction, in their battle with the Smash EDO campaign and other anti-militarists who have engaged in anti-EDO actions. Even if it means the cops breaking their own rules... read full story / add a comment

+ PATRONISING HYPE FOR ID SCHEME +

The UK Identity and Passport Service (UK-IPS) will unveil a marketing
campaign for its ID scheme tomorrow (Friday 25th September) based on
animated fingerprint characters. The Home Office is propagandising
*businesses* rather than the general public in an attempt to give the
impression that the ID scheme is moving forwards whilst in reality
nothing much is actually happening. read full story / add a comment

There will be an attempt to evict the Vestas workers tomorrow Friday 7 August at midday.There will be 2 protests in solidarity in Bristol read full story / add a comment

Tuesday 4th August 8AM - 2PM we are going to the Environment Agency
at Aztec West http://bristol.indymedia.org/article/690781
and the magic roundabout solidarity camp time: non stop till we get(create) what we want.

With the invite to party down in the Isle of White to celebrate people power of the vesta workers who are occupying the factory, people who cant make it down there will be visiting the Environment Agency, who are advocates for making a nice environment, looks like a great diversity of tactics and pressure from many sides to get the just transition we all need for green jobs and a livable future yay! And on the probable likely day of eviction order and attempt, people will gather down at the centre at 5.30 or as some people have been saying will go go go and help Occupy and Resist! the eviction.

Around 40 people met at 48 hours notice on Friday 31st July at the Bristol Temple Meads Railway Club to hear what the visiting Vestas worker had to say. A broad coalition was formed that discussed the issues and quickly found concensus on some actions to show support and solidarity with the Vestas occupiers. read full story / add a comment

New Labour hatchet man and friend of the bosses, the disgraced politician turned Lord of a manor, Peter Mandelson, announced this week he was shelving plans to part-privatise the Royal Mail, for now. He blamed 'market conditions', by which he meant this wasn't a great time to sell off another public asset, because investors were a bit short of cash and couldn't even afford one of New Labour's carrots to the private sector. Given how much debt New Labour have put us all in by bailing out their mates in the banks, they now need to try and balance the books by flogging off some more of our assets. But for once they do need a decent price, and clearly they dont think they'll get it in the current climate. There are however a few more reasons he didn't care to go into in any detail.... read full story / add a comment

ITT (as in EDO /ITT/MBM) are trying to hide their evil profiteering from the arms trade.
The fact that once manufactured their bloody products can end up anywhere, including
rogue states seems to be of little or no concequence.

Another examle of why six people took matters (and hammers) into their own hands
when in Brighton this January. read full story / add a comment

NO2ID has been warning since 2006/7 about the stated intentions of government "to overcome current barriers to information sharing within the public sector" [1]. Now the Ministry of Justice has launched an extraordinary coup. It is about to convert the Data Protection Act into its exact opposite, a means for any government department to obtain and use any information however it likes. read full story / add a comment

Now we don't know about you, but we're looking forward to a year of horizontal organising! In the interests of more people having a direct say in the running of Kebele, we're currently working on ways of opening out our decision making process. We now have monthly open meetings where anyone who wants to participate and share the responsibility of this self organised, autonomous space can come along. It's not always going to be easy, but we believe we make the road by walking it, collectively putting anarchist ideas into practice. read full story / add a comment
