Why is it illegal to burn a Koran but fine for pro-Hamas protesters to destroy a Union Flag? Why is one a "public order offence" and the other not? Because in two-tier Britain the one rule is that you can't upset Muslims.

With real miners and their wives as support actors, and with NUM officials picking up inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the film and story line as it went along, this film ought to be at least realistic and it is. Shot at Hatfield Colliery, where the head gear and pit stand frozen and intact, much as they did for the twelve months of the strike, the scenes are shot in the streets and communities based upon the fortunes of that mine, Stainforth, Dunscroft, Thorne and Moorends. Up to 240 of the local pit folk starred in the making of this film, and not simply as wannabies. Continues at read full story / add a comment

SEX, DRUGS, ROCK N' ROLL. This is what you can typically expect from a USS GM and this one will be no different. It is being held in Dublin on the 29th and 30th March. It is a fantastic chance for all second level students to voice their opinions and ideas on issues such as discipline in schools. read full story / add a comment

In what is being soundbyted as "a peaceful intifada" and a "cedar revolution" the complete government of the Lebanon last night handed in their papers,keys, and whispered to each other about not using big cars anymore.

the "very dramatic move" came after a days protest in "martyr's square". Most people don't want to be martyrs, they want to live peaceful lives and participate in their society, and also live free of the wickedness of war, corruption, lies, indoctrination, criminality of any politicians, the foolishness of the proud, any of the things they have long laboured under the yokes of. They do not want to live or their children to live in fear of intimidation, exile, poverty, inequality. They want normal lives.

When all your government resign you may safely consider you have taken an important step in the right direction. Anarcho-syndicalists approve of this type of thing. read full story / add a comment

I think FEMA on its web site includes duct tape and plastic sheets. ... It is very appropriately listed in the list of supplies for an emergency supply kit.
