In a scene straight out of East Germany's Stasi playbook, a grandmother got a visit from two plainclothes police officers ? not for committing a crime, but for daring to criticise Labour councillors online.

Left-wing activists in Britain are less likely to work with their political opponents and more likely to think that those who think differently have been misled, a study has found. Leftists are intolerant? Who knew.

offsite link Tony Blair is Not the Solution to Ed Miliband Sun Feb 23, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
Toby Blair's Institute for Global Change has published a report that apparently tells Ed Miliband his Net Zero plans are unrealistic. But look closer and you find the same Green Blob pushing the same agenda, says Ben Pile.

The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign has launched a petition from politicians calling on the European Council and the European Council of Foreign Ministers to insist that Israel cease construction of the separation wall across Palestinian land on the West Bank. If Israel does not comply, the petition says, then the human rights clause in the EU-Israel trade agreement should be invoked to suspend Israel's favourable trading rights with the EU. ... read full story / add a comment

national / anti-war / imperialism Sunday April 11, 2004 - 13:27 by Disgruntled IAWM member   text 4 comments (last - tuesday april 13, 2004 - 22:44)
The IAWM is apparently intent on revamping itself after resignations, expulsions, disaffiliations and growing disillusionment has seriously affected an organisation now no more than a front for the Socialist Workers Party. The meeting has been announced on the IAWM website but has yet to be sent by email to members/affliates. The announcement has not been posted on Indymedia.

Members/affiliates have been given 13 days to submit resolutions along with nominations for a steering committee election (a new steering committee is required after the existing one lost half its membership through resignations). 13 days may be enough for SWP/IAWM ghost branches to discuss resolutions/nominations, but is wholly inadequate for genuine/functioning anti-war groups affiliated to the IAWM. The agenda itself is typically weighted in favour of SWP tutorials, with only 1 hour given over to resolutions/election to the steering committee, and 1 hour to discuss a constitution for the IAWM. ... read full story / add a comment

At approximately 10:30 a.m. (MDT) April 9, 2004, Rev. Carl Kabat, OMI, entered missile silo N-8 nine mles west of New Raymer,Colorado, by means of ladders. He destroyed nothing in the process. He was wearing his trademark "clown's outfit," to prove he is still a "fool for God." He was taken into custody by Weld County law enforcement at approximately 11:45 a.m. (MDT). ... read full story / add a comment

The decision of the US military to “suspend” its offensive operation in Fallujah (and possibly elsewhere) constitutes a serious setback for the occupier of Iraq (a military figure in Iraq, Colonel John Colman, has conceded that the US won’t regain Fallujah “any time soon”). ... read full story / add a comment

The below story I just got now. Free market UStriumphalism is one thing- glib hyphocrisy from Russia REALLY makes my blood boil.

Today, the Russian foreign minister told the US they were being too hard on Fallujah, despite the fact that his boss has helped reduce Grozny to the equivalent of an apocalyptic shell from a Mad Max movie, not to mention mass graves,etc. Sickening.

I for one am against what the US is doing in Fallujah, but glin hyhopcrisy takes the biscuit. The Russian admin seems to think everyone has forgotten aboyut Checnya. Have we?
Read the story, and wonder why we all seemed to have forgotten the tragedy that is Checnya. ... read full story / add a comment

For the last few years the European Patent Office (EPO) has, contrary to the letter and spirit of the existing law, granted more than 30000 patents on rules of organisation and calculation claimed in terms of general-purpose computing equipment, called "programs for computers" in the law of 1973 and "computer-implemented inventions" in EPO Newspeak since 2000. Europe's patent movement is pressing to legitimate this practise by writing a new law. ... read full story / add a comment

The acquisition by the Labour Party in Sligo of former Blueshirt, Jimmy McGarry, has sundered the party in the constituency. So fraught are things in the Sligo-North Leitrim constituency that party leader, Pat Rabbitte, was literally abandoned by former deputy and party standard-bearer in Sligo, Cllr Declan Bree, on a recent tour of the constituency. ... read full story / add a comment
