A London hospital allowing male staff to use the women's toilets is the latest employer to bring in EDI policies of dubious legality. The problem, says CJ Strachan, is that employers have become afraid to obey the law.

Rainbow Warrior blockades UK military port

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday January 27, 2003 13:31author by Saint Report this post to the editors

The Rainbow Warrior has sailed into Marchwood Military Port in Southampton this morning in protest against the possible war in Iraq. Three volunteer climbers have boarded the vessel Magdelana Green that is shipping military hardware to the Gulf, and the Rainbow Warrior has dropped anchor to block the ships exit.

Greenpeace flag ship, the Rainbow Warrior, today entered
Marchwood Military port in Southampton and blocked the
departure of UK military supply vessels heading for the Iraqi
conflict in the Gulf. The Rainbow Warrior, along with a flotilla of
small inflatable boats, occupied the port by dropping anchor
and blocking the exit, while Greenpeace climbers attached
themselves to the Rainbow Warrior's anchor chains to stop the
ship being moved. Supply ships have been loading day and
night with helicopters, tank transporters, trucks and other
military hardware.

The non-violent direct action by Greenpeace is part of the
global campaign to prevent a military attack on Iraq that would
kill hundreds of thousands of civilians and increase the chances
of weapons of mass destruction being used.

This is sort of thing that keeps me sending money and going out collecting money for Greenpeace. Let's not forget that the French Government murdered Greenpeace activists by planting a bomb on the first Rainbow Warrior (and then gave medals to the two "security services" criminals not too much later). That was because of Greenpeace stopping their testing of nuclear weapons in the Pacific.
