(Guardian updates) 4.29pm: Ukuncut say that hundreds are now occupying their target, Fortnum and Masons, which they revealed half an hour ago on Twitter.

3.36pm: Here's a mid-afternoon round-up of the huge protest in London against the government's public sector spending cuts.

•Around 500,000 people have joined the TUC's rally against the government's public sector spending cuts in central London.

•The main group of the marchers demonstrated peacefully and walked along the pre-planned route from Embankment to Hyde Park.

•Anti cuts and tax avoidance protesters closed down more than 13 shops on Oxford Street whilst many more shut their doors

•The protest has been largely without violent incident but a breakaway group of protesters attacked shops and banks in the Oxford Street area. A scuffle broke out between a handful of activists and police in New Bond Street.

There is not one word on his literature about his position on abortion, civil partnership, his opposition to gay rights in general, his opposition to sex education. Not one word about religious values. No reference to his support for the Iona Institute and the right wing economic policies of its director David Quinn (overspending on public services was the problem)

His Brief CV makes no mention of his period as sec to archbishop Connell. He is only for adult stem cell research etc

You would think he was a soft-hearted liberal!

When will he come out as a catholic extremist? read full story / add a comment

Amid celebratory scenes in Benghazi with lots of fireworks and lots of automatic weapons fire , China, India, Russia and Brazil (sometimes as a block called BRIC) all abstained along with Germany.

I'm posting here, a very interesting article by Michael Albert of Z Space/Z Mag in which he looks at the idea of differences of opinion on the left and teases out the issues of should we aim to be "right" (as in correct) - which we should, but also if we have a difference of opinion with others or other groups on the left, should we have a "split" or disregard their past opinions also? And then, if it turns out the that other person/group on the left was correct in their analysis and action(s), should we be bitter that we weren't or should we be thankful that those who were right won out?

I'm posting the article in full, with a link to the article on Albert's blog. read full story / add a comment

Below is an open letter to Bob Geldof regarding the offer he has received of an honorary doctorate from Ben Gurion University in Israel. The IPSC urges Mr. Geldof not to accept this dubious doctorate, for to do so would be aiding in the whitewash of Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people. We would also ask you to send emails to Bob Geldof asking him not to accept this doctorate, at the following mails:

CACI - Providing Software for the Irish Cencus (and lots of other "defence software")

The people of Ireland should consider a Boycott in relation the upcoming Census in April 2011. The reason I say this is that the company contracted to carry out the Census is CACI UK who are a subsidiary of CACI international which through its various outsourcing has been accused of contributing to the torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib in Iraq, something I myself am not happy about, and it will be one of the reason's why I will not be completing the Census form this time. read full story / add a comment
