Last Friday while making my way to the European Social Forum (ESF) in Florence, Italy, where a million people (according to the organisers)peacefully marched against the imminent war against Iraq I experienced at first hand the lack of democracy and respect for human rights within the EU. The Schengan Agreement is supposed to guarantee the free movement of all EU citizens within EU states. However, the bus I was travelling in, which was part of the mobilisation for the ESF from Spain, was stopped at the French-Italian border. Our passports were taken by the border police and within 15 minutes they returned and asked for me to leave the bus and go with them.

Before anyone goes along with the "wholesome" sounding anti-smoking crusade...please consider that this stuff HELPS the cigarette industry and their many ingredients suppliers, advertisers, insurers and investors...and gov't officials who allowed typical cigarettes to be so contaminated with dangerous, toxic, fire-starting, cancer-causing non-tobacco adulterants. WE, and the tobacco plant (nature) are blamed for effects of big corporate crimes. ... read full story / add a comment

A war against Iraq could kill half a million people, warns a new report (Collateral Damage) by medical experts - and most would be civilians. The report claims as many as 260,000 could die in the conflict and its three-month aftermath, with a further 200,000 at risk in the longer term from famine and disease. A civil war in Iraq could add another 20,000 deaths. Collateral Damage is being published on Tuesday 12 November 02 in 14 countries.
