offsite link There Has Been a Failure Here Wed Jan 22, 2025 13:01 | Dr David McGrogan
What we have seen in Starmer since July is a petty, inhumane, almost spiteful man who considers himself morally superior to the mass of humanity. This, says Dr David McGrogan, was confirmed in spades yesterday.

"You?ll never be wasting our time," reads the Prevent poster. So why did the anti-extremism programme fail to stop the Southport killer, who had been referred to it three times? He's not the only one, says Charlotte Gill.

offsite link Trump Withdrawing From the Paris Climate Agreement May be an Epoch Defining Event Wed Jan 22, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement feels like an epoch defining event. Yes he did it before, says Ben Pile, but this time is different. The world now is waking up to the folly of Net Zero.

More Notts actions in support of Rossport and Mayo

After blockading one Shell petrol station for an hour we moved on....

London Road Shell station blockaded

Following the one hour blockade of a Shell petrol station on one side of Nottingham the 25 cyclists took a leisurely ride across town to the next Shell station and blockaded that for another hour. Stickers were liberally applied and info leaflets attached to the pumps.

Running out of Shell stations we rode up to the market square where many people who congregate there on a Saturday appreciated the arrival of the sound system and an impromptu party ensued. The banner was unfurled and many more leaflets given out. Many passers by came to speak to us to find out what the protest was about, others came up helped themselves to placards while and characters in fancy dress collecting for the NSPCC joined in and held up the large banner for us.

A pretty successful day with over 400 leaflets distributed. Nottingham is now much better informed about Shell’s disgusting behaviour and plans on Mayo.

It was widely agreed that this was so effective we should do it again.

Oh, and BBC television came and filmed and an item was broadcast on BBC Nottingham TV on Saturday pm.

To all our friends in Rossport and Mayo we say– Shell WILL be sent to hell.

Placards still there this evening
