Ofcom has been hounding GB News for its 'bias' in not being uniformly Left-wing. David Craig wonders when the brave regulator will notice that Times Radio pours forth anti-Trump bile all day long and takes action there.

Women’s Open Day
“Invisible Workers Centre Stage”

All women and men who support women's autonomous organising welcome

Since November 2003, women from all over Europe have been calling for a women's day. Many signed the Global Women's Strike call and many men support it. The UK organising group actively opposed it. They claimed "poor attendance" at the Paris ESF women's day - yet over 3,000 women participated as well as men. With only a couple of weeks to go we decided to organise a women's day ourselves and in doing so won a partial victory - there will now be a three hour women's assembly at the main forum! Lets discuss what to bring to it from our women's day.

Why a women's day!
· · Women do 2/3 of the world work. From breastfeeding, subsistence farming, healthcare, volunteering, fighting for justice . . . women and girls are the primary carers everywhere. Yet our contribution is invisible even at events like the ESF!
· · The workers who do most of this survival work are unwaged or low waged. We refuse to be invisible!
· · A Women's Day is women's insurance policy that there will be an autonomous space for the crucial issues that women are addressing. Grassroots women from different backgrounds and experiences can make our achievements more widely known - drawing out and strengthening the vital connections among us.
· · A Women's Day enables non-party-political people to have a much needed voice at the Forum, starting with those who are being ignored. Like asylum seekers who are denied a platform while the asylum charities which implement the government's repressive anti-immigration policies are seminar speakers.
· · The ESF should be an occasion to build the movement against US-led wars and militarisation, rape and other torture, prisons, repression and exploitation - starting with acknowledging how much we in Europe are dependent on the movement in countries of the South.
